Womаn Tаkes a Chanсe on a Sаd Sheltеr Cаt, and the Transfоrmation is Inсredible

A shelter cat was so depressed that he kept himself plunged in the corner of his cage all day, but a woman took a chance on him and changed his life forever.

A ginger tom cat had been wandering around a neighborhood for quite some time. “One day (he) parked himself on someone’s front porch and stayed there for about 6 weeks, until they decided they couldn’t care for him any more,” – Tegan.

They transported the stray cat to the shelter. “He was there for about two weeks before I came in. I was actually there with my local roller derby team, to take some photos of the adoptable animals and do a sort of cross-advertisement with them. But within a few minutes I looked at him, so sad in his little cage, and I knew.”

She told them she wanted to see the cat. “When they let me take him in the visitation room, he sneezed a few times. So I knew he was a little sick and I had to be the one to take him home and get him better.”

“I’m so glad I did.” She named him GusGus.

It didn’t surprise Tegan that he was so sad at the shelter.

“He had one of those kitty colds that they get at the shelter, and even a tapeworm… He was very sick and confused for a bit, from the stress of going to the shelter and then to a new home. We got all of that fixed up for him. He has been my little shadow around my apartment ever since,” – Tegan

GusGus completely turned around within a few days. The sadness was wiped off his face for good.

In the days that followed, GusGus began being more motivated, and discovered his new found energy and confidence. “He follows me everywhere, and loves laying on his favorite blanket (the red one in the picture) next to me on the couch.”
