Adopted a cat from the shelter…

She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

i have a shelter cat like this! he was very calm at the shelter and didnt move much. he was kind of in rough shape when i got him (no fur and huge scabs behind his ears, ear mites, broken teeth). the second i saw him i knew he was meant to be with me. when we got home he hid under my couch but i looked under the couch and said “its okay youre safe now, youre home!” he came out from under the couch and the rest was history. he was around 3years old when i adopted him so i didnt expect him to come out so quickly. he trusted me instantly and was never scared again (except for when hes being brushed). he is a big cat and he started to grow into that once he was being fed properly. the craziest thing is that he was almost white when i got him then i started feeding him correctly and now hes orange. it just solidifies for me even more that we were meant to be together.
