Window Licking Shelter Cat Tries His Best To Get Adopted

Sigmund did not need a toy, a treat, or a dramatic meow to get attention at the shelter. He had a window, a curious face, and a habit that made people stop and stare.

The three-year-old cat found an unusual way to stand out, and it worked well enough to land him a home. But after that first adoption fell through, Sigmund was back where he started, still determined to charm his way into the right family.

Now his story has a happy ending, and it comes with a very specific talent.

Have you ever seen a cat do this before?

Not many people had! And although he looked strange, Sigmund just kept on licking.

This super cute behavior worked! Sigmund found a new family who adopted him into their home!

However, after only two weeks, they had to bring him back to the shelter, saying he was too rough. Poor Sigmund! He was known for being a cuddly kitty, but like most other cats, when he decided enough was enough, he was sure to let you know about it! Anyway, it was back to the shelter for Sigmund, but was he discouraged? Of course not!

That first adoption did not last long.

Sigmund was right back to his old tricks!

Oh, Sigmund! Look at that tongue!

He kept going, and going, and going...

You've got to give him credit; I've never seen windows so spotless!

Luckily for Sig, he has now been adopted by his true forever family, and they love him for all his grumpiness, quirkiness, and how clean he keeps their windows!

This is a message for shelter animals near and far: sometimes your strangeness is just what somebody loves most about you.

Sigmund’s “too rough” switch-up feels like these rescue cat transformations from street life to snuggles.

Some quirks are exactly what make a pet unforgettable.

You may think that rats and cats getting along would only happen in an alternate universe, right? If so, then you have probably never before heard of rats rescuing kittens. It's a thing, and it's too precious for words!

That is one unlikely rescue story.
