He's A Beat Up Senior Cat With No Teeth, Is Fiv+, But Has A Heart Of Gold. Of Course We Adopted Him!
Jelena 4 years ago
Every adoption makes me happy, but when I see that an older pet is adopted, especially when it is in such a difficult condition, it brings me to tears. I can't express how much respect and gratitude I have for people who adopt senior pets! I wish them a long and happy life together from the bottom of my heart!

Agreed To Foster This "Extremely Aggressive" Boy A Few Months Back. Today I Adopted Him. Welcome Home, Stripes Mckenzie!
Hyde and Seek 4 years ago
A lot of times aggressive cats have little to no mental stimulation (playtime,toys, puzzles) ,too much sensory stimulation (sights,smells,noises) , and various other reasons include :trauma(abusive/neglectful owners,bad run ins with neighborhood kids,etc.) ,lack of socialization ,overcrowding(mummy I want to pet the kitty)

This Is Guillermo!
I'd share our black kitty. We adopted him from a cat cafe that takes in shelter cats only. We named him Guillermo, after the familiar in What We Do in The Shadows, and brought him home. After a few weeks, I looked through the paperwork they gave us with him that wasn't health related or immediately important. In there, I found a paper from his short time at Petco. His description on it read, "I'm a TV star!". I was like, "sorry, what?". It continued to explain that he was rescued from a hoarding situation and during a news interview at the site, he was filmed a few times sitting in a cage looking VERY confused.
Since then, he's fit in really well with our other cat Bobbi, and is best friends with our dog, Jack.
Here's the video. He first appears at around 0:50 timemark. A few more times after that too.
