Woman Surprised After Giving A Bullied Senior Shelter Cat A Chance
When Shamabouf visited her local animal shelter, she noticed a senior cat being bullied by the younger felines. Despite the harsh treatment, the gentle soul didn’t fight back, and Shamabouf knew she had to intervene.
Out of the options but can be the sweetest
When most people seek a new pet, senior animals are often their point of interest due to their age and potential health issues. However, Shamabouf saw beyond these concerns and decided to give this deserving cat a chance.
Adopting Coyote
She adopted the senior cat, now named Coyote, and to her surprise came an instant connection. Unlike most adopted pets, Coyote adjusted seamlessly to his new surroundings and refused to leave Shamabouf’s side.
TikTok screenshots showcase Coyote’s affectionate nature as he snuggles with Shamabouf, wrapped snugly in a blanket. He protests whenever she tries to set him down, wanting to stay in her arms.
The irony of the event
As Shamabouf wrote it never occurred to her that she was going to blanket wear Coyote. She thought maybe an elderly, bullied cat was going to give a different vibe than being all snuggly. Coyote wants to be in her mom’s arms every day and doesn’t like being put down.
Coyote’s paws hug Shamabouf tightly, expressing gratitude for rescuing him. His love and comfort in her arms are palpable.
Melting hearts with affection
Shamabouf’s TikTok video captured hearts, garnering over 258,000 views and 58,000 likes. Viewers commented their feelings such as:
“Older babies have so much love in them once they realize they are safe.”
“Oh my God, he knows he found his last home.”
“He feels safe enough to let his inner baby out.”
By adopting Coyote, Shamabouf not only transformed his life but also found a loyal companion.
It’s all about love and finding peace
Senior animals, often overlooked, have abundant love to offer. Consider opening your heart to them; you might discover your perfect match.
Shamabouf’s experience serves as a testament to the rewards of adopting senior pets. Coyote’s story inspires us to look beyond age and give loving homes to those who need them most.
