Camera Captures That Moment When A Stray Loner Cat Realizes He Now Has A Loving Family
Albert spent two years surviving on the streets, and for a long time, he kept everyone at a distance. Then one day, the stray cat walked into the home of people he trusted, as if he had finally decided he was done being alone.
His rescue was not simple. Albert was badly injured, sick, and still had to wait through the adoption process before he could officially stay, but the people around him kept helping him through every step.
Now his story has a happy ending, and the video of that turning point has already been watched millions of times. Read on to see how a loner cat became part of a loving family.
Albert's mom shared this video:
When Albert was found, he was in bad condition
Albert was in bad shape when he was found. Even though he wasn’t old, he appeared much older due to the hardships he had encountered during his life on the streets. “Albert had open cuts and wounds, was infested with fleas, his head was swollen, he had shallow breathing, and he was extremely dehydrated,” says the video caption.
Then, on March 3, 2021, Albert first found his forever home. It was just in the nick of time because he was “one week away from death.”
However, before going through with the adoption, his rescuers had to surrender him to the authorities - he was a stray cat, and there was a waiting period for the previous owners to come forward. But that wasn’t the only obstacle for Albert; he was also sick and had to undergo months of treatment.
That rescue came with a lot of waiting.
But luckily, he found good people
People who helped him recover
6-month anniversary:
Christmas with Albert:
Finally, on May 20, the cat was ready to return to his forever home, this time for good. His medical condition still needed monitoring, and he was receiving treatment in the months to come.
But now, after his long road to recovery, this cat looks amazing and fully restored. His once scruffy-looking coat is now long, white, and puffy. He is “living his best life in his forever home” with a young woman who loves him dearly.
“Every morning, Albert walks up on me and sits on my shoulder to say good morning,” she says.
It’s the same kind of longing as Dwight the shelter cat reaching out for love while waiting for his forever home.
He really did find his person.
Albert is now happy
