He deserves a lifetime.”
Cat sticks to the shelter door after being returned by the family who adopted him
In a heartbreaking Instagram cat video, Twinkie was returned to the shelter within 24 hours of being adopted. It appears a family took him home but realized they couldn’t take care of him. This seems to have broken the feline’s trust, but he still keeps looking outside.
“He keeps walking to the door like he’s waiting for them to come back. He doesn’t understand what he did wrong. He’s just looking for the people he thought were his forever,” the caption expresses the cat’s sentiments.
Furthermore, the clip features Twinkie, who keeps coming towards the gate. He even climbs up and tries to get his head out of the bars. It seems he has not lost hope. Meanwhile, viewers have comforted the fur baby in the comments. “It’s OK, Twinkie. You will find your family home,” a user wrote.
Many were relieved to learn that Twinkie was returned to the shelter’s safe walls rather than left on the streets. Furthermore, viewers requested that the uploader provide an update on Twinkie’s current situation. In response, the rescue home stated that the cat has not yet been adopted.
Meanwhile, the Instagram post has garnered over 12K likes as of this writing.
