Man Went Out to Help a Stray But Ended Up with a Lap Cat Instead, Who Now Truly Lives Up to His Name
A man set out to help a stray but ended up with a lap cat instead, who now truly lives up to his name. SunnyLittleWanderersNYCThomas, an independent animal rescuer, went out to trap a pregnant stray, but ended up with a charming orange cat instead.To his surprise, the orange tabby was incredibly friendly, thrilled to be found. "From the second Thomas opened the (humane) trap, Sunny (the cat) was purring, head-butting, and making biscuits like he owned the place," Little Wanderers NYC shared.It was clear that Sunny was never meant for the streets, as he immediately made himself at home. He was friendly and happy to be rescuedLittleWanderersNYCAt about two years old, Sunny was a bundle of love, always gravitating toward affection like a sunflower turns to the sun.Soon after he was brought inside, he confidently hopped onto his rescuer's lap, claiming it as his new perch. The instant lap cat filled the air with his rumbling purrs, his paws kneading away contentedly. He became an instant lap catLittleWanderersNYCSunny curled up with his human, leaning in for extra snuggles. He reveled in gentle face scratches, tilting his head back to soak up every bit of affection. After his time on the streets, he was clearly making up for lost time.With limited resources, Thomas turned to the team at Little Wanderers NYC, who were quick to lend a helping hand. LittleWanderersNYC"You wouldn't know he's been through a very hard street life at his young age, but his body carries battle scars and wear from surviving as best he could. He's super friendly and clearly meant to be rescued."Given his sweet and affectionate nature, the rescue believed Sunny had once known the comforts of a home before he was abandoned. LittleWanderersNYC"He trusts people even though they failed him."After he was fully vetted, he still needed extra care for his stomach troubles. Michelle, a dedicated foster volunteer with Little Wanderers NYC, opened her home to the lovable boy and cared for him as he continued on his path to full recovery. He enjoyed the comforts of his foster homeLittleWanderersNYCWith a roof over his head and an abundance of love, Sunny transformed into the ultimate velcro cat. He followed his foster mom everywhere and would curl up in her hoodie to be toted around like a cherished baby.He enjoyed getting ready with Michelle, being her cuddliest little assistant and starting her day with the sweetest purrs. Sunny loved getting ready with Michelle in the morningLittleWanderersNYC"Sunny lives up to his name because everything around him is warm like golden sunshine with hues of warm cinnamon and butter wrapped around his kind little heart. He is now in a foster-to-adopt situation with a lovely teacher who fell head over heels for him."Sunny's new dad is an educator who works with unaccompanied children, many of whom have faced significant challenges. LittleWanderersNYC"[Sunny is] wonderful. I'm hoping my feline friend will help me recharge my batteries, and I can do a good thing and provide a safe home to a cat that was abandoned on the streets," Sunny's new dad shared.As if Sunny knew just what his dad needed, he's now always snuggled close, filling his days with purrs and a little extra sunshine.
