Shelter Cat Desperately Scratches At Glass Enclosure, Begging A Little Girl To Take Her Home
One day, LaRae Stevens and her daughter stopped by PetSmart. They had always dreamed of getting a cat, but not everyone in the household was on board with the idea.
Still, they couldn’t resist taking a look at the adoptable cats. What they didn’t expect was that fate had something else in store for them that day.
As they wandered past the glass enclosures, a cat named Missy caught their attention.
They cooed at her from a distance, but as they started to walk away, Missy’s demeanor shifted. She wasn’t about to let them go that easily.
In an instant, she started pawing at the glass, desperate, and full of hope. It was impossible to miss.
This kitty wasn’t just playing; she was begging them not to leave. She wanted them, and she wanted them now. It was love at first sight.
When Stevens’ daughter came closer, Missy’s excitement exploded. She pressed her little paws harder and frantically scratched at the glass. It was like she knew she had finally found the people who would love her.
Watching it all unfold, Stevens’ heart melted. Everything just clicked into place, and deep down, she knew there was no way they could walk out of that store without Missy.
She immediately reached out to her husband, the one in the family still unsure about getting a pet. But seeing Missy’s affection changed his mind.
It didn’t take long before the family was filling out an adoption application.
They couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, though. Knowing Missy had been at the shelter for two weeks already, there was a good chance someone else might have already scooped her up.
Still, they knew they had to try. They couldn’t let the chance slip by without giving it their all, not when Missy had made such a connection with them.
The family then left the store, already planning to return and visit Missy again, no matter the outcome. They crossed their fingers, hoping it would work out.
A few hours later, the call finally came: the humane society had approved their application!
When Stevens heard the news, she and her daughter were so happy that they both started crying.
After dreaming of having a cat, it was hard to believe it was finally happening. They had wanted this for years, and now it was really coming true.
Their new reality was just beginning, and they couldn’t wait to bring her home. Later that day, they picked Missy up.
From the moment Missy stepped into her new home, she fit right in. She instantly made herself at home and connected with everyone in the family.
Six months have passed since Missy became part of their family, and every day has been filled with love. Stevens couldn’t be happier, sharing on Instagram:
“Missy is the best addition to our family. We could not ask for a better rescue cat. She is purfect!”
The same tiny paws that once pressed against the glass were now wrapped around the hearts of her family forever. Missy had found her forever home, and she spent every day showing her family just how much she belonged with them!
