A woman gave a shelter cat a forever home. He returned the favor by being her most loyal companion, following her everywhere she goes.
Belarus the cat was turned to the shelter when the landlord told his owner that she could not keep him. The family was very sad and brought the kitty to the shelter, hoping they could find him a good home.
“This big gentle fellow is friendly, affectionate and ever so handsome with his crossed eyes and fluffy tail,” Deb Campbell of Animal Care and Control San Francisco told Love Meow.
Belarus was eager to be loved and constantly asked for attention and pets. When someone came to visit him, he would stand up and lean on the door as if to beg them to take him home.
Rachel from San Francisco came across a post about Belarus on Instagram. For a while, she had been looking for a cat. “When I saw his googly eyes, I was in love and immediately contacted the shelter that day,” Rachel told Love Meow. “I had to move meetings around and things to be able to visit him.”
When Belarus and Rachel finally met, the sweet kitty snuggled right up to her as if to say he was ready to go home. “I had won the pleasure of taking him home. He’s settled in quite amazingly and is absolutely spoiled.”
The cross-eyed cutie quickly became Rachel’s little shadow.
“He follows me around everywhere, especially in the bathroom in the morning. There is no privacy with Belarus in the house,” Rachel told Love Meow.
