Arkansas Woman Rescues A Shy Cat With A Wonky Jaw Then Something Amazing Happens

Every cat has its own personality. Some are timid and keep to themselves, while others are bold, curious, and confident in asking for attention.

Occasionally, a shy cat can come out of its shell when paired with the right person, just like this stunning tortoiseshell with a charmingly wonky jaw.

One day, Mauren, a devoted cat lover from Little Rock, Arkansas, got a message from her friends that instantly caught her attention. They insisted she had to see what they’d found. 

Rushing to meet them, Mauren arrived at a parking lot scattered with tiny kittens.

Her heart soared with excitement, knowing this was the perfect opportunity to finally bring home a kitten of her own.

As she approached to look at the kittens, one particular tortie kitten with a wonky jaw caught her eye. She shared in a video:

“The moment I laid my eyes on Gremlin, my whole world changed.”

Gremlin was born with a wonky jaw, a condition veterinarians call malocclusion. This occurs when the lower jaw is shorter or misaligned with the upper one, often leaving the cat’s tongue sticking out.

Mauren didn’t let that stop her. She was captivated by Gremlin’s striking green eyes and sweet nature, overlooking any imperfections.

At home, Gremlin was shy and reserved, barely letting out a meow as she took in her new surroundings.

Mauren felt a pang of worry, knowing Gremlin needed time to settle into her new home. She patiently gave her space, and little by little, Gremlin began to open up.

At first, she followed Mauren everywhere, hesitant to be alone. As Mauren spoke gently to her, Gremlin eventually started responding, revealing the start of her chatty, charming

Many thought a cat as timid as Gremlin would always stay shy, but she proved that with patience, anything is possible.

Just like that, Gremlin is now one of the most talkative kitties that I know. Mauren added:

“If there was an award for the most talkative cat in the world, Gremlin would win.”

Gremlin is now living a life beyond her wildest dreams. Each morning she greets her human with kisses and cuddles, and every night she loves her back scratches.

She’s basically living her best life. Mauren jokes:

“Gremlin is such a chatterbox. Her name should be ‘Sir Meows-A-Lot.’”

Grateful for the bond they share, Mauren feels blessed to have found Gremlin. She believes that everyone deserves a chance for a better life, saying:

“No matter what an animal has been through, they always deserve a loving home.”

From now on, Mauren and Gremlin plan to keep enjoying life together, possibly welcoming a few more cats along the way, and I wish them all the best! Watch the entire video right here!
