Sadly, the number of abandoned and homeless cats increases with each passing day. Some are born on the street or intentionally left behind, while others are left alone after their humans pass away.

Regardless of the reason for their abandonment, our goal is to help by finding them homes or at least leaving some food, especially for the senior felines.

Senior cats can present more challenges than younger ones when it comes to adoption because they may have a harder time adjusting to their new life, no matter how good it is.

Yet, this gorgeous senior ginger boy shows that not every cat is the same and that all you have to do is open your heart and hope for the best. 

This former stray cat named Otto found a home and got a chance to spend his golden years in the best way possible.

Though his human mom was worried if he would adjust properly to being an indoor cat, he surprised everyone by transforming into the cuddliest feline in the world.

Of course, his human mom played a role in his transformation. She wanted him to feel more comfortable and cuddly with the whole family, so she ordered a new soft blanket. His reaction warmed everyone’s hearts.

The owner put the blanket on her lap, called Otto to come over, and he eagerly jumped right into her lap, craving attention. Then, he curled up on her legs and took a nap. 

By doing so, Otto showed he realized he was finally home, and his human parent realized he finally felt comfortable there. She described the touching moment:

“It is such a huge part of his growth and feeling like he’s home with us. And has found comfort with us as his family. It brought so much joy to me.”

Otto realized his hard days were finally behind him, and that now he has a forever home to thrive in.

After sharing Otto’s story, he quickly became popular. People kept encouraging both him and his new loving parents. Some comments that caught my attention were:

Vida said: “Baby steps. He is still processing being in a home with a loving family. Poor baby. It’s hard to imagine what he went through until you found him.”

Yersinia commented: “Aww, I’m so glad you’re giving him all the love he’s been lacking.”

Others commented that people like Otto’s owner bring back hope for humanity, and I couldn’t agree more.

I’m so happy for Otto and that he quickly adjusted to his new, better life. I’m sure his personality will just continue to blossom, and he will finally live the life he always deserved!
