Sadly, most animal shelters are full of cats. What’s even sadder is that many of them are on the euthanasia list, either due to their bad health conditions or old age.
But, thanks to the rеscuеrs from Cats of San Bernardino in California, the number on the euthanasia list is decreasing. They visit shelters to sаvе those kitties and give them a second chance in life.
One of their missions turned into a remarkable journey, creating a heartwarming story.
In one of the shelters, they saw a special ginger cat sitting alone in the shelter cage. His name was Prometheus, and he was in a severely bad condition. His fur was completely matted, he was shy, and he had issues with his front paw.
As soon as they saw him, the rеscuеrs knew they had to act right away if they wished to give Prometheus a better life.
So, they took him into their foster care, and that was only the beginning of his remarkable journey and transformation.
Prometheus’s fur was so severely matted that his rеscuеrs first decided to give him a fresh haircut, transforming him into an adorable little lion.
Next on the list was a complete vet check, where it was discovered he needed paw surgery. Fortunately, the surgery was a success and his paw quickly recovered.
After giving him a complete makeover, Prometheus was still very shy and withdrawn, but that didn’t stop his rеscuеrs from finding him a home. They knew he just needed the right family.
So, they started sharing his photos and videos on Instagram, and it’s not a surprise that he received numerous adoption applications.
The rеscuеrs decided to carefully choose Prometheus’s adopters, and when they spoke to a woman named Carrie, they knew it right away. Carrie and Prometheus were a purrfect match.
When Carrie and her husband met Prometheus for the first time, they immediately felt a connection and knew they needed to adopt him. Carrie said:
“My husband and I looked at each other and went, ‘We need this little guy.’”
And that’s how Prometheus got a new forever home and loving human parents. But, besides all that, he also got a canine sister named April, with whom he instantly bonded. Carrie said:
“Prometheus would lick April and groom April as a sign of love, and April just kind of sits there. We joke that he thinks he’s a dog. We call him a cog.”
