Frightened Cat Found Hiding In A Discarded Toilet Becomes NY Shelter’s Superstar
This is the story of a frightened little cat who made an unusual choice of hiding spot: a discarded toilet.
At first, he seemed shy and wary, but he quickly proved to be one of the sweetest cats anyone had ever met.
The rescuers at Puppy Kitty NY City first got a video of the cat. He was discovered in a thrown-out toilet, surrounded by trash, clearly abandoned and in need of help.
Meagan Licari, the president of the rescue, immediately knew they had to act, as she shared in an interview:
“We couldn’t say no to this cat hiding inside a thrown-out toilet bowl.”
When they arrived, the cat was scared but didn’t run away. In fact, he allowed them to pet him, which was a small but huge sign of trust.
They carefully got him out of the garbage and took him to the rescue center, where they gave him a warm, safe space to relax.
He didn’t have a microchip, and no one seemed to be looking for him. He was cautious, but his curiosity and hunger slowly began to shine through.
After a few meals and lots of patience, he started showing the affection he had probably been holding back for a long time.
The team named him Loo, and over the next few days, he slowly came out of hiding.
Initially, he spent most of his time in his cat tunnel, but soon enough, he began exploring and seeking out cuddles from the people around him. Meagan continued:
“We rescued him, and he ended up being the sweetest cat ever.”
Loo quickly revealed another heartwarming side: he absolutely adored kittens.
While he loved headbutting, cuddling, and showering humans with affection, his heart truly belonged to the little ones at the rescue.
He became a superstar among the kittens, and patiently groomed them, snuggled up close, and taught shy or nervous ones how to play, trust, and socialize.
His kindness made him a favorite among volunteers. He was their unofficial helper who kept the kittens happy, healthy, and social.
When the time came to find him a forever home, Meagan wanted to make sure it was perfect. Since Loo loved feline friends so much, she hoped to find a family that already had a cat.
And luck was on their side. A kind couple with a cat saw his profile and instantly fell in love.
After two months at the rescue, Loo finally found his forever home, complete with devoted humans and a furry sibling ready to welcome him.
His gratitude is impossible to miss. He showers his new family with kisses, cuddles, and endless affection. Meagan couldn’t be happier, sharing:
“We couldn’t be happier to say he’s found his forever home. He is going to have the best life.”
Now, Loo’s life is full of all the things every cat deserves: warm beds, tasty meals, endless cuddles, and plenty of playtime with his new furry sibling.
From being a scared little guy hiding in a discarded toilet to becoming the center of love in a forever home, he’s come such a long way.
It’s the kind of happy ending that makes you believe in second chances, showing that with a little patience, kindness, and a lot of love, even the most frightened kitty can grow into the happiest, most confident version of themselves.
