When this gorgeous tuxedo kitty named Fancy along with her two kittens arrived at the Exploits Valley SPCA, she immediately captured everyone’s hearts.
However, caring for her was a great challenge because, besides her two young kittens, she was pregnant again with a second litter.
But, as fate would have it, good things began to unfold. When Fancy crossed paths with shelter visitor Mark Dwyer, she effortlessly charmed him. Recalling their first meeting, Mark said:
“She won me over with her general excitement for attention. She even grabbed my fingers with her teeth and pulled them back in for cuddles as I was going to leave.”
Mark had been in search of a furry companion for his cat Luna, who brought joy back into his life after the loss of his beloved 19-year-old cat, Cuddles.
So, when Mark laid eyes on Fancy, he knew she was the perfect match. However, he had to wait until she finished raising her kittens before he could bring her home.
As time went by, Mark couldn’t shake the thought of Fancy and her kittens. It felt like a sign that he should bring home not one but two cats. And so, he made a final decision.
“I had decided that I would adopt her and one of her kittens.”
But was it truly his final decision? Let’s find out.
Fancy’s two kittens found loving homes, leaving her at the shelter with her second litter.
When Mark returned to adopt Fancy and one of her kittens, he found himself completely taken by her entire litter: the solid gray boy Sage, the gray tuxedo girl Lili, and the black and white tuxedo Sweet Pea.
Upon meeting the entire furry family, Mark knew what he had to do – adopt them all. He said:
“I have always had a soft spot for the runts (all my previous cats were runts, including Cuddles). So I decided that I wasn’t going to leave them there and asked to take Fancy and all three.”
The joy was palpable as Fancy and her kittens embarked on a new chapter in their lives with Mark. However, Sweet Pea’s sudden loss of appetite concerned Mark, requiring extra care and attention.
After treating the whole furry family for a stomach bug, Sweet Pea bounced back and became a playful, happy kitten like the rest.
Fancy and her kittens quickly adjusted to their new home and life, forming a close bond with Mark’s cat Luna.
Mark surprised both himself and the shelter with his spontaneous decision to adopt all the cats, because very rarely do people come and adopt more than one or two cats.
I am thrilled for Mark and his furry family, wishing them many years of happiness together.
This heartwarming and inspiring tale deserves to be shared, so be sure to spread the love with your loved ones!
