After 1,054 days of waiting, the star cat “Elvis” at the Scruffy Paws Animal shelter in Warwick, Rhode Island, has finally found its eternal home! This 8.5-year-old tailcoat cat has been living alone in the bathroom of the shelter for a long time because it cannot get along with other cats. Its picky nature and “stroking aggressiveness” (prone to biting or slapping due to excessive stimulation) increase the difficulty of adoption, but the shelter always emphasizes that it “deserves to be loved”.
The shelter posted on social media, appealing: “Elvis just wants a solitary home and a family that loves him.” Two days later, it received treatment for dental problems and an abscess in its claws. After recovery, it finally met its destined adopter. After that, the shelter held a “Elvis leaves the Bathroom” party for it and invited the public to celebrate together. Nowadays, Elvis Presley has his own Instagram account (@elvishasleftthebathroom), documenting his new life.
Heartwarming stories like this have been happening frequently recently: The blind tabby cat “Ethel” in Ohio was finally adopted after a year in a shelter. Mr. Mojo, who had been missing for 10 years, was reunited with his owner. Scruffy Paws also shared other rescue cases, such as the rescued kittens Hannah and Miracle from the landfill, and “Mr. Heart” who recovered from serious injuries. These stories prove that even the most difficult situations can lead to a happy ending.
