‘He looked so sad and so defeated’: Senior feral tomcat had given up on life until he got rescued by a kind human who finally gave him hope for a different future

It is a known fact that stray cats live shorter lives than housecats. The dangers are greater, the food is more scarce, weather conditions are much more apparent when you don’t have a warm blanket to hide under once it gets cold. Not many cats live to senior age on the streets. But some do. Of course, their chances of survival lower once they are older and a little slower, so it is up to us to help them. If you see a stray senior cat on the street, try to help if you can. That is what the people in this video did. They saw this beautiful stray cat, who has somehow lived more than ten years on its own in the wild, and they knew that a kitty like that, who has been fighting for so, so long, deserved a proper retirement. It wasn’t easy to catch this senior stray cat, despite its age, because of just how careful he was. But they managed. And he is now living his best life under all the warm blankets that he could pawssibly want.
