Cat Shows Up on Windowsill, Tells Family He is Ready to Leave Stray Life Behind

This old ginger cat once came to the doorstep of a family in New York City. He begged with pleading eyes for food, and the lady of the house could not refuse him. From that day on, the stray came more and more often, but one day he didn’t show up at the house as usual.
“Little Wanderers does not turn a blind eye to friendly cats on the street. Carlton (the orange cat) was sick and had a huge cut behind his ear that required sutures,” Little Wanderers NYC shared.
That day, the kitty jumped right up to the window and looked sadly into the house. In addition, he meowed loudly and pitifully, as if trying to say something. When the lady of the house came up to him, she saw a wound behind his ear – it turned out that the cat was crying for help.
“All the rescues right now are overflowing with cats and kittens due to kitten season and also the overblown population spilling over from last year,” Carianne told Love Meow.
The girl immediately contacted the rescue center Little Wanderers, and they took the cat to them. There he was given the nickname Carlton, and he received the necessary medical care and continued to restore his health. He had almost no teeth, but he stayed awake and active.
Despite his years of living on the streets, Carlton proved to be a kind and lovable buddy. Later, a volunteer named Carrian took the redhead to her house. At first, he was afraid of the new place, but he quickly got used to it, and after a couple of days he was already begging for affection from his foster parents.
“A lot of his hair was matted and the ear wound needed a cleaning around the sutures. He is missing many teeth but loved any food I gave him. It was easy to gain his trust because he really does love people. He is so mushy,” Carianne told Love Meow.”Immediately after I groomed him a bit, he was purring. Now, he really likes to just lay his whole body on my lap and I’m stuck.”
Now he runs after the foster every day, asking for affection and purring in the arms of the family. Carlton is immensely grateful that, in his old age, he will never have to live on the streets again.
They are now looking for a permanent family for Carlton. We wish this handsome boy finds the best owners, who will love him with all their hearts!
“He’s like a big friendly mountain lion. He will headbutt you if you’re not petting him enough and will flop on his back for belly rubs. He’s completely the perfect cat. Whoever ends up adopting him is very very lucky,” Carianne shared with Love Meow.
