I have always had a soft spot for cats, and I can’t fathom how some people find them ugly or unworthy of love. A memory that stands out to me is when my cousin and I stumbled upon a scruffy kitten years ago. The poor thing was dirty and had patches of bare skin, but I didn’t hesitate to show him affection, while my cousin was repulsed. We were just kids, so I don’t blame her, but I still recall that moment vividly. I’ve always been drawn to animals in need, eager to offer them love, even if only for a brief moment.
Despite our young age, we managed to rescue that ginger kitten. I informed my grandma about the situation, and she took pity on the kitten, so we returned to collect him. The vet treated his eyes and provided creams to improve his fur. Giggy, as we named him, turned out to be the most adorable ginger kitten in the village thanks to our efforts.
This experience reminds me of Arlo’s story. Arlo, a cat deemed unattractive, seemed unlikely to find a loving home. Despite being born with a defect, this sweet kitten had just as much love to offer as any other cat. Would he ever find someone willing to give him a chance?

Arlo came into this world with a unique appearance due to a congenital defect that sets him apart from other felines. Despite his distinct look, he was brought to an adoption center with hopes of finding a loving home. A kindhearted worker at the center described Arlo as a loving and mischievous cat, full of personality and affection.
Arlo was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition that can impact a cat’s brain and cause facial abnormalities. Despite this, Arlo has been deemed perfectly healthy through extensive vet examinations. All he needed was a caring family to give him the love and attention he deserves.
Davy, a social worker specializing in children with disabilities, was considering adopting a pet cat. Living alone in a rural cottage, he felt it was the perfect time to bring a furry companion into his home. His friends started tagging him in posts about a special cat with additional needs that was in search of a forever home. Intrigued, Davy contacted the shelter and scheduled a visit to meet the one-year-old cat named Arlo.
When Davy met Arlo, who was typically reserved around strangers, there was an immediate bond between them that was undeniable.

Arlo adores mischief by playing a game of hide and seek with Davy’s belongings throughout the house. His top choice of “toys” happens to be Davy’s cozy slippers.

When he’s not busy playing and having fun, he’s always excited to receive gifts… though he also enjoys “assisting” with the laundry.

Arlo is a fantastic feline who struck gold with his incredible human, Davy!
