It Was All He Had After His Owner Passed Away, His Only Source Of Comfort, His Only Link To The Past!

Although Alley Cat Rescue is free roaming, staff decided to give Hoonie a space all his own.

Hoonie’s doing “really well,” but he’s still adjusting to the new sights and sounds at the shelter, Brianna Grant, communications associate at Alley Cat Rescue, told The Dodo. His stuffed cat, which probably still smells like home, is his greatest comfort.

“He’s a huge talker,” Brianna said.  “It’s very sweet. When he’s lonely, he’ll let you know. You’ll hear him from a room away. But once you go and hang out with him, he just gets silent and hangs out next to you, and he seems so content just to have people by his side.”

Shelter life is hard on all cats, especially senior cats who are used to their old homes.

Grant explained that Hoonie would be best suited to a calm home environment with no other cats, and preferably with owners who are around a lot.

When Hoonie is eventually adopted, his stuffed cat will follow him to his new home. “We couldn’t separate the two,” Grant said with a laugh.”

“They’re a package — two for one.”
