The Stray Cat That Appear to Be Most Angry Is Actually The Sweetest
A Good Samaritan in Akron, Ohio, thought a grumpy-looking tabby that was loitering about her house had no interest in her. He had a perpetual scowl and appeared to have been living outside for some time.
But as she got to know the cat, the woman discovered it wasn’t at all the case.
The cat may have looked angry on the outside — but all he wanted was to be loved. So she contacted Riggi Rescue to see if they could help the skinny, flea-bitten stray.
“When he first came in, we had gotten some pictures of him, and he just looked so grumpy. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, is he nice?’ and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s super friendly,’” Melanie Anielski, the rescue’s lead foster mom, told The Dodo. “That’s just his face.
It doesn’t really matter if he’s happy or content — he’s never really angry — he’s just always looking at you with that little scowl and you can’t help but giggle when you look at him.”
The cat was named Giggles by the rescuers, who then started searching for his owner. Despite his scowled expression, Giggles made sure to express his gratitude to his foster parents and appeared happy to be back in a family.
His attitude is fairly laid-back, according to Anielski. He is really laid-back and likes to curl up next to you wherever you are seated so you can pet his tummy. He is therefore incredibly loving.
The rescue released Giggles’ photo on their Facebook page to see if anybody knew him after no one came forward to claim him. They were startled when requests for adoption poured in from all over the world after photos of the cat with a scowl became viral in a couple of days.
We are a small community of cat lovers, so the fact that one of our cats has become popular on Instagram truly astonished us “explained Anielski. “It was very thrilling.
After a month with his foster family, the rescue knew it was time to find the loving cat a permanent home. Luckily, Giggles made it pretty easy to pick his new parents.
“When they first met it was an instant connection, like they had known each other forever,” Anielski said. “It was the sweetest thing to watch. He just walked right up to his new mom and started rubbing up on her legs and rolled over and he was just immediately in love with her.”
The cat with the grouchy appearance is now the spokesperson for Riggi Rescue, encouraging more people to adopt and rescue animals.
He proves that appearances may be misleading by spending his free time cuddling with his adoring family and two cat brothers.
He truly just wants human company, and I believe he is delighted to have it today, according to Anielski.
