Dog owner goes into local cat rescue on a whim after seeing cat with weird-looking ears through the glass, they immediately connect: ‘My little alien boy’

  • Went out for dog meds and found an alien instead.

    Quick background: my first cat and my soul cat Porky (Porkus, The Porkinator) came to me as a stray on my dad's 80 acre property.
  • She is the cat that made me fall in love with cats. She passed about 3 years ago and I wasn't sure when I'd be ready for another cat.

  • But a wise woman once told me when the right cat came along I would know.
  • Well here I was on normal Saturday, heading to the store for joint supplements for my dogs.

  • Our pet store is partnered with a local cat rescue and I always go over to say hi.
  • This time when I wandered up to the glass I saw the silliest little ears I've ever seen and felt something in me shift.

  • On a whim, I asked if I could meet the cats and was surprised when they said yes (usually you need an appointment).
  • Out comes Mad Max (now renamed Marvin the Martian) straight for me to headbutt my hand for pets.
  • No fear, no hesitation, just the sweetest little guy. After convincing my husband to give it a shot, he came out to meet him and had the same experience.
  • We knew we had been chosen and boy were we right. As soon as this little fur ball got home he knew it was his place.
  • I look forward to many more years with my little alien boy.
