16-year-old cat deemed the 'crustiest' at the shelter with only 3 months to live gets a second chance, is now celebrating his 10 month adoptiversary: ‘[He's] been waiting for a chance!'

Not everyone gets a second chance, especially senior animals in shelters. Older animals just don't get the same amount of adoptions as younger pets, like puppies and kittens. There are many different reasons, but when it comes down to it, don't they deserve love and a furever family too? One cat loving lady is showing the world that you shouldn't over look the senior cats with her 16-year-old crust ball, Nuji. 

 

When she got this little guy, he had been in the shelter a very long time and was constantly overlooked because he had a lot of visible "old man" issues. He didn't move too well and his floof had less of a bounce. Well, that's because in cat years he is an 80-year-old man! That's a long life lived for anyone, especially a cat! The sweet feline was immediately grateful for the second chance at life and constantly shows it with nudges of love to his rescuer. Nuji was thought to have maybe three months left in him, and now they have recently celebrated his 10 month adoptiversary!
