Rescued Cat Named Muffin Has An Energetic And Playful Personality And Is Looking For His New Forever Home

It's an unfortunate thing, yet unsurprising, that sometimes people have biases against unruly animals because they would rather choose a pet that's already well-groomed and well taken care of right from when they came out of the womb. People or families who are in a search of a pet sometimes prefer not to take in stray animals because they would rather have them straight from a pet shop or a shelter that has already taken care of them.

The latter option is very much more ideal, especially for those who truly want to make a difference and give a proper forever home to an animal. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), over 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats end up in shelters annually, and approximately 4 million animals get adopted every year—over 2 million cats and dogs each.

Some people find the love of their lives in these shelters, and for them, we are truly grateful. However, there are still a million animals waiting for that one person and family that would fall in love and take them in.

Animals in shelters tend to experience distress especially when they have just been freshly rescued, and are still adjusting to the new routine of being housed together with others. Some may even shy away from the presence of people, but don't be fooled; these animals, especially cats (contrary to the belief that they despise human contact), still ache for the warmth of their own hooman and a loving home to sleep and play in.

Take this particular stray cat that you are about to read on, for instance. This adorable furball arrived at the Hanover County Animal Control (HCAC) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, by a citizen. This gray-and-white domestic feline showed no signs of any health issues, even injury, neglect, or malnutrition.
