Cat With An Adorably Judgmental Look Because Of His Injuries Is Looking For His New Forever Home
Lawrence has a face that makes people look twice, and that has not exactly helped his chances of finding a home. After surviving injuries and surgery, the cat was left with a slightly misshapen appearance that gives him an adorably judgmental expression.
He is now being cared for by the RSPCA and a foster family, where he spends time with the kids while waiting for the right adopter. The problem is not his personality, it is that many people seem to judge him before they get to know him.
Now Lawrence is hoping someone will see past the look and give him the forever home he deserves.
Meet Lawrence.
This cat was found as a stray when the RSPCA took him in. He had existing injuries that required surgery, particularly in his right eye.
However, during the healing process, the injuries left him with a misshapen look—making him appear permanently suspicious and a little bit judgmental. He's still the same sweet cat, though, and this feature only makes him look more unique and adorable.
The downside? His appearance seems to be warding off people who could potentially adopt him.
It's quite sad to see Lawrence just waiting for potential adopters, but they tend to judge him by his peculiar appearance.
“We have struggled to find a home for poor Lawrence despite him being such a friendly and loving cat,” Georgina Holding, fostering and rehoming coordinator at the RSPCA’s Friern Barnet branch, said in a press release.
“We’re worried that his unique look is putting off potential adopters, as we either haven’t had any applications for him or any interest we have had has fallen through. It seems like poor Lawrence has just been ‘ghosted.’ It’s so sad to see such a fantastic cat waiting this long to find his forever home.”
To be fair, he doesn't even look that weird—the aftermath of his surgery from the injuries looks normal. Still, we hope this just means that the perfect family or person to take him in is just finding their way to him.
People at the shelter are still feeling hopeful that Lawrence's new owner will show up soon. It's disheartening to see animals like Lawrence left feeling hopeless while watching all the other animals get adopted, but we're crossing our fingers that someone will finally show up and fall in love at the sight of him, judgmental look and all.
Currently, Lawrence is living under a foster family's care, playing with the kids.
This feels similar to the guy who refused to return the cat he found in his backyard, even after a year.
That's the part that makes his wait feel even longer.
“We’d urge anyone who is looking to bring a cat into their life to please take a chance on Lawrence,” Holding said. “We think he is beautiful inside and out!”
We're sure that the right family or person for Lawrence is just out there. Maybe that's even you!
