Paul, a college student, was looking for a pet to help him navigate the stress of school life. He originally intended to adopt a playful kitten, but as he walked through the shelter, he quickly realized that kittens would require a lot more attention than he could provide. 🐾

Thinking carefully about his busy schedule, Paul decided that an older cat might be a better fit—one who was already potty trained and more independent. That’s when he met Cleo, a 12-year-old gray-and-white cat with stunning green eyes. 💚

Cleo’s story tugged at Paul’s heart. She had once lived in a home where a new baby arrived and her claws were removed. Without her claws, Cleo felt vulnerable and stressed, leading to a urinary tract infection and eventual conflict with her owner. As a result, she was surrendered to the shelter. Paul knew she deserved a peaceful, loving home. 🏡

Now, Cleo is thriving in her golden years with Paul and his roommates, Ben and Denis. At first, Cleo was shy and reserved, but with time, she has grown more affectionate and even enjoys playing with her toys. Her new family is dedicated to making her feel safe and loved, helping her relax and settle into her new environment. 🐾❤️

Paul and his roommates are committed to giving Cleo the peaceful life she deserves. Though Cleo was originally a little wary, she’s slowly opening up and enjoying her newfound happiness.

“I’m so glad I adopted her,” Paul says. “She’s become part of our family.” 💫

This heartwarming story of adopting an older cat shows the importance of giving love and a home to animals of all ages. 🐱💕
