Stressed And Unwell, Abandoned Cat Finds The Love That Brings Her Back To Life

Some people think it’s acceptable to give up their pets when caring for them becomes too much. Once the excitement of having a new cat or dog wears off, they simply walk away, leaving the animal to fend for itself.

What they often don’t realise is how deeply abandonment can affect an animal. The stress can lead to depression, anxiety, and even serious health problems.

That’s exactly what happened to Mimo, the star of today’s story. Left on her own at a young age, she became so stressed that she developed food allergies, which caused her to pull out her own fur.

This sweet little cat was left feeling lonely and unloved, convinced she’d never have a happy home again — until the day Priya stepped in and changed everything.

I say “came back” because Priya used to foster Mimo. What a wonderful full circle moment, right?

Mimo was Priya’s first cat she ever fostered, which probably explains their deep connection. She sent her off to a family who wanted to adopt her when she was still a kitten, not knowing that they would get fed up with her a little too soon. 

At just three months old, Mimo was kicked out of their home during a cold winter, leaving her to fend for herself. 

The sudden change was too much for poor Mimo, who didn’t know how to handle it. Thankfully, she didn’t spend too long outside before ending up at a local shelter.

But even that short time outside was enough to mess with her health…

Because of the said food allergies, Mimo had to be on strong medications, which he needed to take regularly. Though they helped, the vet knew they’d have long-term effects on her health.

With the risk of severe organ issues looming, the vet suggested putting Mimo down. But Priya couldn’t bear that.

So, she decided to adopt Mimo herself, determined to give her the love she deserved.

Once Mimo felt what it was like to be properly loved and taken care of, her condition started to improve. In less than a year, Priya got her off all her meds. Can you believe it?

Thanks to Priya’s love, Mimo blossomed from an anxious and stress fluff into a happy and healthy kitty!

When Mimo’s allergies were a thing of the past, Priya wondered about expanding their furry family. Would Mimo like having a sibling? Or would that stress her out, too?

Priya had to find out for herself…

When Mimo Met Kirry

In a YouTube video made by Cuddle Buddies, Priya recounted the first time she met Kirry, her second cat and Mimo’s brother.

“I went to a cat event and I saw Kirry there. And as soon as I saw him I fell in love with him.”

Apparently, Kirry had been hopping from one adoption event to another, failing to find his forever home. The moment he started losing hope of ever finding a loving family to call his own, he met Priya – and through her Mimo. 

And just like that, Kirry completed their little family!

Mimo and Kirry instantly became best friends. 

“As soon as I brought Kirry into the house, Mimo went right up to the carrier door and started smelling him and licking his nose. So, I knew right away that they were gonna get along.”

Both felines love to hang out with each other. They’re inseparable, enjoying playful interactions, cuddle sessions, and all sorts of adventures together.

Kirry adores his sister Mimo so much that he came up with what Priya calls “The MimoSquish.”

Whenever he gets overwhelmed by the love for his sister, Kirry lies right on top of her to be as close as pawssible.

Yep, that’s right! Personal space isn’t a thing for this sweet boy, but fortunately, Mimo doesn’t seem to mind.

Priya is convinced that her two cats were destined to find each other — and it’s easy to see why. Their connection is undeniable, a friendship so deep it’s hard to picture them living separate lives.

Mimo and Kirry have brought joy, comfort, and companionship into each other’s worlds, and Priya couldn’t be happier to be their mum.
