'The cat no one wanted': Couple adopts shelter's longest resident feline whose trust in humans had been broken by previous owners who returned him, giving him another chance at a life he deserves

There is no such thing as an "unwanted" cat. There are simply cats who have not found their forever humans yet.

It might sound weird, but generally, we kind of love hearing stories about cats who "no one" wanted. Let us explain. It's not because we like their situation. It's the worst. It breaks our hearts to hear about cats who are waiting for their forever homes and are not able to find them. But we know… we know that if we came across their story, if it got big enough to hit our timelines, then it is going to be big enough to hit other people's timelines as well. And once that happens, the cat community has an amazing way of getting those "unwanted" cats adopted.

Because, like we said, there is no such thing as an unwanted cat. The internet has proved that. The internet was able to find homes for the cat that no one wanted because of its unique markings that made him look a little weird and the 14-year-old cat who no one wanted after his owner passed away. The internet even managed to get the "world's worst cat" more than 100 adoption applications. Because once we put our minds to something, we can make it happen. So really, if this couple didn't adopt this "unwanted" kitty themselves, they should have posted about it online. We would have made it happen. But this time, we didn't need to.

This is something that we don't hear about often. Of course, we know that cats who are adopted and then returned don't have it easy, but hearing about the way that this experience immediately affected this kitty is absolutely heartbreaking. These people knew the kind of cat that they were adopting. Adopting him and bringing him back a week later is something that should have never happened. They should not have adopted him in the first place, giving him all that hope and then taking it away. They broke this cat's heart, and we can only say thank you for these other people who adopted him and mended his heart over again.

He looks so, so comfortable in these pictures. We cannot even imagine the aggressive, detached heart that the shelter described after he was abandoned. He looks like he was more than made for the spoiled indoor life. This is where he belongs, and although we are so upset that he had to go through such hardships to get here, we are truly so happy that he is finally here, where he belongs. We wish all of you many happy and healthy years together, and we hope you will share many more updates about the little guy in the future.
