Cat Refuses To Eat After Owner Abandoned Him For A New Couch

Tim was only three months old when his new home stopped feeling safe. One minute he had a family, the next he was being handed over to New York City’s Animal Care and Control because his owners bought a new couch.

The kitten’s sudden surrender left him frightened and depressed, and the reason behind it made the situation even harder to understand. Thankfully, Magnificat and a foster family stepped in to give Tim another chance, along with other cats who needed help.

His story is a painful reminder that some pets are left behind for the smallest reasons. Read on to see what happened next.

The frightened-looking Tim.

This poor sweetheart never thought that after being adopted into his new family, he would be abandoned so easily—only because his family got a new couch! Then his family surrendered him to ACC.

This also echoes the Redditor who wanted to give away their clingy cat, because the constant attention was “too much.”

Tim suffered from depression.

Anxiety and depression have overpowered this cat's once joyful spirit. Without considering his feelings, it was all too easy for his owners to get rid of him for a very lame reason—a new couch!

Tim is curled up, lonely, and uncertain about what his life will be. He is fearful, and his stress is evident in his fur.

Nothing can be worse than being on the list of cats to be euthanized. So, aside from being abandoned, Tim faces a much greater risk of losing his life.

Although he lost his family and was bound to die soon, luck was still on Tim's side. On the same day he was scheduled to be euthanized, Magnificat came to rescue him.

This animal rescue organization focuses on rehoming and rescuing cats in need. Thankfully, they were able to find Tim a loving foster family.

Despite having a great foster family, Tim still suffered greatly from anxiety and depression. His heart has never healed from the immense heartache he experienced, and he refused to eat.

He remained in one corner, grieving alone over being rejected by his owner. His condition worsened, and he continued to lose weight despite his foster family's best efforts to force-feed him.

Everyone—his foster family and Magnificat—has not given up on Tim, and they want nothing more than for him to find happiness. They hope he will regain his energy and love for life.

Magnificat and his foster family wish for Tim to feel the love surrounding him. They hope that one day, he will find joy in his environment.

They pray for him to regain his strength and enthusiasm. Thanks to them for rescuing him and other cats.

Magnificat has given Tim and others another chance at life. We are so grateful that some organizations work tirelessly to help animals in need.

Wait, it gets worse, see how a cat was left on a train while asleep in this heartbreaking abandonment story.
