Jerry, a charming tuxedo cat, arrived at the Humane Society of Broward County a few days before Christmas. When the staff found out why it had been dropped, they were completely baffled.
Susan Leonti, digital marketer for the shelter, told The Dodo:
“Jerry was abandoned because his owner said he was too cuddly and too vocal. He greeted her at the door. Jerry is an adorable cat who loves to be petted and rubbed against you, but his former owner said that he bored her too much.”
The shelter staff were shocked by this new development and deeply saddened to see someone get rid of such a lovable and good-natured cat like Jerry.
The cat was given to the shelter for being “too affectionate”
The woman added:
“We were really surprised that they gave us a cat because they were too cuddly. Most of our adopters are actually looking for affectionate cats! We believe there is no such thing as an overly affectionate cat.”
Poor Jerry was totally taken aback by his presence at the shelter, and all of his feelings culminated in a broken heart. Initially scared and shy of potential adopters, he eventually formed a warm bond with the center’s staff members, enjoying every ounce of attention they gave him.
Jerry’s new friends at the shelter knew exactly what kind of cat he was and how much he would be loved. So they featured his story on TikTok, and in no time there were loads of people lining up outside the shelter to take him home, including his future family!
Susan says:
“They saw Jerry’s TikTok video and rushed to the shelter early in the morning to adopt him. They were the first in a line of people who had seen Jerry’s video and were hoping to adopt him that morning. Jerry’s new family was so generous that after adopting him, they funded the adoption costs of a trio of related cat brothers we’ve had here since Thanksgiving.”
After enduring many hardships, Jerry has finally found his place in this world, and it is with the loving family he deserves. Your new home is filled with warmth and acceptance, making you feel like you belong there. Couldn’t be happier!
The shelter is very proud of Jerry for his resilience in finding a home. Her story is an example that with enough love and kindness, all animals can find their way back to happiness.
