I believe every street cat dreams of having a home and being loved, but this orange and white tabby cat was way too obvious.
He was found alone on the streets, sleeping on a discarded mattress and dreaming of a loving home.
When he wasn’t sleeping, he wandered around the neighborhood, searching for food and water.
But one day, fortune finally smiled upon him and a new life awaited him.
The poor feline, later named Applejacks, caught the attention of compassionate neighbors who refused to turn a blind eye to him.
They reached out to their local rescue, which instantly offered their support. The first step was trying to find his owners, of course, if he had any.
The shelter volunteers posted flyers around the neighborhood and even shared Applejacks’ pictures on social media, but their efforts were in vain.
The shelter shared in an interview:
“Despite our volunteer’s efforts with his finder to explore every avenue to locate his owner, no one has come forward. He was a little shy when we arrived, but our volunteer went out and collected him.”
After picking Applejacks, the volunteer realized a heartbreaking truth. She noticed his frost-covered back, which meant he had endured many freezing nights outside without a proper shelter.
Despite everything he had endured, what mattered the most was that he was now safe. The shelter added:
“Now, he’s safe and warm with us. He’ll never spend another night alone in the cold.”
Aside from his frost-covered back, Applejacks was in a surprisingly good health condition.
Though a bit shy in the beginning, he soon adjusted to the comfort of an indoor life and warmed up to his caretakers, who shared:
“It took a few days to warm up to being loved, but he’s such a lovable boy.”
Thanks to the shelter’s dedicated care, Applejacks progressed rapidly. Every day, he grew more confident and his true personality finally began to shine.
He enjoyed receiving a lot of attention and cuddles, and greeted everyone with his adorable meows, not letting anyone pass by without noticing him.
Once Applejacks was introduced to toys, it was like he discovered a whole new world. His playful side instantly emerged.
But when he wasn’t playing, he was following his people around like a loyal shadow. They added:
“He’s hot on your trail and incredibly friendly.”
From a sad, hopeless street feline, Applejacks blossomed into a loving, playful cuddle bug. He thrived in his new life, but still, he couldn’t wait to see what the future held for him.
His caretakers were completely smitten with his loving personality, saying:
“We can’t understand how someone didn’t want him.”
Soon after, the most important day of Applejacks’ life arrived. He was ready for adoption and set up for a meet-and-greet with a loving family.
The family instantly fell in love with Applejacks’ sweet and gentle nature, slowly crawling under their skin.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for them to make their final decision. The family excitedly shared they wanted to adopt Applejacks and everyone was overjoyed.
After months of sleeping on a cold, discarded mattress, dreaming of a loving home, Applejacks’ dream finally came true. He is now living his best life just as he has always deserved!
