'Finnegan wasn't made for outdoor life': Heartwarming cat dad rescues lonely forest feline from feral fate and transforms him into a pampered city kitty through the power of love

We love many things about cats, but one of the things we love the most is that cats have a way of finding their hoomans at exactly the right time. Fur example, we found one of our first cats behind a dumpster on our way out from the movie theater. If we hadn't gone to see that exact movie at that exact time, we might never have found her, and our lives would be completely different. Life works in meowsterious ways, huh?

Today, though, we're talking about Finnegan, purrobably the floofiest orange cat we've ever seen, who went from a lonely forest cat to a pampered city kitty all thanks to a heartwarming encounter with his furrever hooman four years ago. The cat dad lived in a cabin outside the city, and Finnegan appeared one night, looking for love. Skittish and afraid, it took a while, but Finnegan eventually warmed up to him and learned to trust hoomankind. His hooman saved him from his feral fate, sheared off all his matted fur, treated his wounds, and taught him the joys of sleeping in the sun behind the safety of a loving home.

Finnegan's story purrfectly shows how far love goes when it comes to a cat's life. You'll see how he looked before, and how he looks now, and you can tell that he's much happier being pampered at home than sleeping in the leaves. We wish Finnegan and his hooman dad nothing but happiness until the end of their days!

Poor guy, Finnegan must have had it rough living on the outside. Nobody likes to sleep with one eye open, and we're sure that living in the woods was not the safest of places for a cat to live. We hope the only thing he has to hunt now is the occasional unopened can of tuna!

It's always the ones you rescue that are the sweetest because they've tasted what life is like on the other side - having to fight for everything, not knowing where or when your next meal will be… it sounds awful. But now we're sure he wants for nothing!
