‘I made a friend for life’: Cat lover rescues a sick, feral senior cat from the streets, then he becomes a big baby lap cat

When you find a cat who shows you that they want to be your best feline friend fur life, you hold them close to your palm, give them all the scratchies, and never let them go.

Rolo, the stray cat who was rescued in this next story, was as feral as they come. The kind human who found him explains that Rolo was trapped, neutered, and released many years ago, but was suffering from several ailments.

To call Rolo feisty would be an understatement… Instead of the human giving him scratchies, he gave the human some pretty gnarly ones. But hey, when you're a cat lover, everything feels worth it to give them the comforting life they deserve.

If you're lucky, a feral cat will take a liking to you. Well, the human went from getting scratched Freddy Krueger-style to giving Rolo pets under his chin, and he curls up in his lap. How lucky are we to walk the same earth as animals as trusting as our beloved felines? Scroll below to get a good look at Rolo and more information about what changed.
