My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gapetto, a resilient senior cat with a heartwarming tale of triumph over adversity. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Gapetto initially arrived looking frail and underweight, but with dedicated care, he has blossomed into a stronger, healthier, and happier version of himself. Now, we seek a compassionate and nurturing home that can continue to support Gapetto on his journey to optimal well-being. Although a bit shy, Gapetto’s gentle nature and affectionate spirit shine through once he feels secure. While he may not be the first to approach visitors, his untapped capacity for love makes him a hidden gem awaiting discovery. We believe that Gapetto, with the right person offering him the attention he deserves, will thrive and reciprocate with a lifetime of gratitude and companionship. Don’t let his initial reserve deter you, Gapetto is a sweet soul ready to make a profound connection with a loving adopter.
