Cute rescue cat goes viral when PetSmart writes a wholesome letter describing his tragic abandonment story, flooding their inbox with adoption applications: 'Jerry had a home and a brother, then one day he didn't'

All it would take is for one kind soul to give Jerry a chance.

Imagine living your life, all happy and normal, and then boom, everything changes. You lose your hoomans, your family, and every sense of security you thought you had. Your whole life falls through the floor, and you have no power to do anything about it.

That's what happened to Jerry. At 5 years old, he was left at a PetSmart goomer, and his family never returned for him. To make matters even worse, his family abandoned his brother in a completely different location, separating the one thing he might have pawssibly been able to hold on to from his old life. After that, everything changed.

PetSmart took him in, but it's hard to convince people to adopt a 5-year-old cat. Most people come looking to adopt kittens, and that's totally understandable. Kittens are adorable, but that makes cats like Jerry feel invisible. He stayed, and stayed, and stayed at PetSmart, until the employees decided he just needed a little bit of help for people to see how sweet he really is. They wrote a letter describing his tragic abandonment story, and it went viral online. After that, their inbox was flooded with adoption applications for Jerry.

We don't know where Jerry ended up, but we're pretty sure he's back to living the good life as the center of a new family's life. And that's exactly what he deserves.

Jerry looks like a stand-up guy! We're absolutely pawsitive he's going to make a great addition to someone's home. He looks like he will be good with kids, so we hope a family with kids adopts him.

"I got my boy Henry Scott when he was going through a similar situation. Had just been separated from his bonded brother. Ended up getting him a sister and they're both perfect."

According to the poster, Jerry is only five years old. And to be honest, five years old isn't that old! He's not even a senior yet, he's got plenty of years left to make a new family very happy for a long time.
