It’s very sad that some animals are abandoned and left to fend for themselves. It’s regrettable, but some people have hearts as hard as rocks and are capable of casting their pets out onto the streets, pets who once filled their homes with love and joy.
Having a pet at home is synonymous with responsibility; they are beings deserving of respect, care, and lots of love.
But not everyone understands this, sadly that’s what happened to Mr. Wilson, a noble elderly and blind cat with feline immunodeficiency syndrome who was abandoned on the streets. Wilson’s life is full of suffering and mistreatment, evidenced by the visible marks on his body.
Fortunately, volunteers from an NGO found this noble 11-year-old cat, who not only was blind with feline immunodeficiency syndrome but had also lost many of his teeth, and the ones remaining were broken. When they rescued Wilson, his health was very critical; this noble feline was between life and death. Once he arrived at the shelter in Salto de Pirapora, São Paulo, Brazil, he received all the medical attention needed to regain his health.
Fortunately, Bárbara Teixeira arrived at the shelter looking for a kitten as she had done on other occasions, and she fell in love with Wilson. Bárbara adopted him and took him home to give him a place to spend his golden years filled with lots of love.
The shelter staff were concerned because Wilson’s adoption wouldn’t be easy due to the time needed to dedicate to his care as an older, blind, and sick cat.
In fact, as part of the documentation to make the adoption effective, Bárbara had to sign a responsibility agreement, legally taking charge of his health and life.
It was also necessary to evaluate the conditions of Bárbara’s house to ensure Wilson’s adaptation to the place.
Bárbara managed to prevent Wilson from staying in the shelter without being chosen as a pet among the other young one-year-old cats also waiting for a home.
But everything turned out as Bárbara hoped, and on her Instagram account, she has told the story of this blind kitty and his other two feline siblings.
Bárbara loves her three sweet and adorable pets, and they all live happily. Every day, these three cats receive cuddles, pampering, and delicious food that they enjoy and appreciate with tender looks.
Share this touching story that shows us that miracles of love do exist.
