I have six pet cats, and five of them were rescued. I’ve been volunteering at our local shelter for years, and I have seen many stray cats and rescue cats, but I’ve never seen one with a look this sad.
This cat won the internet with his sad story, but also his cuteness. Fishtopher the cat was described as “sad and depressed” and his photo simply went viral, causing many people all over the world to fall in love with him.
The people at the Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center in New Jersey posted his photo on Petfinder and set him up with a profile.
“Fishtopher is very sad and depressed and will only eat when he has company. Fishtopher reminds you of a Bengal with his coloring, he is a sweet, easy-going, laid-back boy. Fishtopher loves being petted and is an affectionate boy. He is a big cheeky boy, wouldn’t you love rubbing on those big cheeks?”
This description was posted next to a photo of Fishtopher that just makes your heart weep.
This post was shared on Twitter as well, where many Twitter users were saddened by the sorrow in Fishtopher’s eyes. They had nothing but sweet comments about him:
“What a beauty. And what a name.”
Another Twitter user said:
“I wanna give him a hug. What a handsome little cat.”
Soon after Fishtopher went viral on the internet, the Petfinder folks posted that he had found his furever home! Everyone was thrilled and there were many inquiries about Fishtopher’s adoption.
