Florist adopts resident senior bodega cat to finally live the comfy, cozy life after 10 years of never having a space to call home: 'She's never been outside of our store'

We're not going to lie, we've fallen prey to the charms of more than one bodega cat. But, as cute as it is to have a purrsonal friend while shopping for snacks, we can't help but think how they would be so much happier in a loving, safe home. Sure, a bodega where everyone loves them and they get lots of treats is better than nothing, but it can't compare to a pawrent who takes care of their every whim and fancy. Some bodega cats do get their happy endings though, like 'Matzo'!

A florist joined a NY shop where Matzo lived, and the two quickly became inseparable. Matzo wasn't really cared for before she arrived, but she started cleaning her, giving her better food, bought her a bed, etc. Well, the shop is about to be renovated, so this florist decided to finally take Matzo home fur good! Now Matzo is living the comfy, cozy life after living in the bodega for 10 years. Now, she finally has a place to call home. 

Sure, it will be an adjustment for both of them, but we're sure that Matzo will adjust to her new life quickly, once she realizes all the perks it comes with. See more of Matzo and her story below!
