Couple Went to Shelter Just to ‘Look at’ a Cat with Enormous Cheeks, It Turned Out to Be So Much More

A couple went to the shelter thinking they were only going to “look at” a cat with enormous cheeks. It turned out to be so much more.

A stray cat was found in rough shape, suspected to have been in a car accident. He was brought into Lollypop Farm for help.

The cat named Grizzly was estimated to be around 10 years old and had spent most of his life in the outdoors. “On top of the injuries he sustained from the accident, he had an upper respiratory infection, needed teeth pulled, and had other minor issues,” Lollypop Farm shared with Love Meow.

He looked weary and his face showed signs of years of braving the streets. He was very shy and quiet upon arriving, but despite it all, he was sweet-natured.

He was found outside in rough shape

Grizzly went on to make a full recovery in foster care. He put on some healthy weight and gained energy. His adorably big cheeks remained. In order to help increase his chances of finding a good home, Grizzly joined the other cats and kittens in the adoption area.

He was quickly overshadowed by the outgoing kitties as he quietly curled up in his bed and stayed out of sight from visitors. Staff and volunteers often came to hang out with him, and they knew Grizzly just needed a quiet place and a warm lap for him to shine.

Around that time, Amber was browsing the shelter’s page, checking out animals as something she does “on a rainy day”, without the intention to adopt.

“One cat immediately caught my attention. He had the biggest cheeks and eyes that could tell a lifetime of stories. I just knew we had to meet him,” Amber shared with Love Meow.

Dan, Amber’s boyfriend, wasn’t much of a cat person but agreed to go to the shelter just to “look”.

The couple arrived and searched all over for Grizzly at the shelter. “There he was laying up high on a window perch fast asleep while all the young kitties greeted us wanting so much attention.”

Grizzly seemed tired and continued napping while the couple tried to talk to him. A kind staff member opened his area to allow them to interact.
