An older cat with medical issues found himself at a shelter after his beloved owner sadly passed away—but with the help of rescue workers and his foster parents, he began to flourish.
Tuxedo cat Zorro has become an online sensation after his former shelter, Cat Town, shared a video of him being the perfect patient while being treated for asthma.
Cat Town specializes in helping cats who “might struggle to get adopted from a shelter cage,” staff member Quinn White told Newsweek. And eight-year-old Zorro, who has feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), dental issues, calicivirus and asthma, fell into this category.
Despite these issues, White described Zorro as an “absolute dreamboat” who “flops down on the floor right by your feet and looks up expectantly when he wants you to pet him.”
Now a clip shared to Cat Town’s TikTok account, @cattownoak, has seen hundreds of thousands of people fall in love with Zorro, as he patiently took his asthma inhaler.
@cattownoak Zorro, the dashing tuxedo cat who rocks his inhaler routine, has officially been adopted! 🎉 Congrats, Zorro! 🖤🤍 #catadoption #adoptdontshop #catrescue #catcafe #cattown #cattownoak #cattownoakland #oakland #asthma
