Timid Abandoned Cat Finally Feels Safe And Shows His True Personality

Timid Abandoned Cat Finally Feels Safe And Shows His True Personality

The Community Cat Club in the southern part of New Jersey is a nonprofit rescue organization that saved numerous cats from the streets.

Unfortunately, their volunteers encounter more abandoned cats every day. People usually abandon their cats once they move or cannot care for them any longer.

As sad as this is, luckily organizations like The Community Cat Club are more than ready to help these poor felines who were left all alone.

Such is the case of Tyson, an adorable giant cat in a tuxedo coat. This poor soul was left behind by his owner, all alone in a carrier.

He was rescued by this amazing organization, but this is when they realized Tyson was not able to open up in a shelter environment. 

Tyson was so stressed in the kennel that he broke out of it and fell asleep in a food container!

That’s when the rescue sent out a plea for a foster home, hoping Tyson could finally relax and reveal his true personality in a safe space.

Fortunately, volunteer foster carer Susan Sheets-Smith stepped forward right away, eager to open her home to him.

From that day forward, Tyson flourished in his new home. He started cuddling and playing with Susan, showing her that he was just like every other cat! As Susan shared in her post:

“Plenty of personality in this guy. He is a great companion and he makes me laugh. He loves head scratches and chin rubs. He keeps a watchful eye on me.”

Another thing that never failed to make Susan laugh was Tyson’s unusual way of lounging. He’d plop down on his bum like a little human, front paws hanging loosely at his sides.

With his sleek tuxedo coat, he looked every bit like a miniature businessman unwinding after a long day at the office.

All jokes aside, the safe environment of a foster home just proved to everyone that Tyson was more than ready for a forever home. As The Cat Community Club shared on their Instagram

“Adopting Tyson means gaining a friend who will provide endless entertainment, affection, and a sense of calm to your home. Tyson is waiting to bring joy to his forever home. Will that be with you? Tyson was abandoned locally back in April and is definitely ready for his forever home.”

Hopefully, this sweet giant will soon find his forever home, where he can spend the rest of his life as a happy, chubby cat!

This story proves to us once more, just how important foster volunteers are. With their love and attention, so many cats can show their true personality!
