The cat, who spent his entire life with his family, now finds himself in a shelter. At 17 years old, adjusting to such a drastic change is no small feat. Senior cats, especially those with such deep bonds, often find the transition to shelter life incredibly difficult. The shelter staff are doing everything they can to make him comfortable, but it’s clear from the video that he is heartbroken.

The shelter shared the emotional video in the hopes of finding the cat a loving home. His cries touched the hearts of viewers, drawing attention to the unique challenges faced by senior pets in need of adoption. While young cats often get adopted quickly, older cats like this one are overlooked, making his situation all the more urgent.

Every pet deserves love, no matter their age.
