We Rescued This Feisty Dirty Kitty And He Grew Up To Be Such A Dapper Gentleman

ADVERTISEMENT

My colleague Win moved to Shanghai a year ago. She didn’t know anyone and was living alone. Most of our officemates had pets and our packaging design agency Holmes&Marchant encouraged us to bring them to work, so Win decided to adopt a rescue.

An ad was posted for a kitten that almost got run over by a car, the kitty looked so dirty and sick, but most of all, ANGRY that he was outside! He wanted someone to love him already! One year later…

More info: Instagram

RELATED:

    The lady who found this cat was going on holiday and couldn’t keep him, saying she would let him back out in the streets if no one came to adopt him

    Our first look at the little guy. Don’t let his size fool you. He was YELLING, asking to be loved already!

    First time to meet his new momma, who named the little feisty tuxedo Lucifur

    Lucifur had a bad eye infection and worms, but otherwise healthy

    ADVERTISEMENT

    He visited the vet and received treatment. After a few months he got a clean bill of health. He was still grumpy though

    When his eye infection healed up, Lucifur was so happy to see his momma

    He finally got the love he deserved! His mom brought him to work with her every day. She would work and he would snooze on her lap

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Soon he was running around spreading evil and mayhem while his mom ran after him

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Here he is complaining he wasn’t given tuna fast enough. Such a smart boy!

    One year later and Lucifur is charming all the ladies at momma’s workplace

    He even got a baby brother to play with him, Shadow! Shadow follows Lucifur around, and big bro always grooms him

    Lucifur knows he’s handsome and well dressed

    What a change in just a year! From a dirty, sickly little thing to such a handsome devil

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Happy together!

    I work for Holmes&Marchant, a packaging design agency in Shanghai. We have lots of office pets, almost all of them rescues! I share their transformation story and hopefully show that anyone can make a difference in an animal's life.

    No offense to all ye merry office workers, but the only reason I would ever get an office job would be if I could have a cat there.

    What a wonderful little soul, full of courage and feisty with it. Excellent photos of this tiny little scrap. He's grown into a beautiful, dignified cat who clearly loves his brother. Love the photo where he looks like he's yawning or shouting! So funny.

    Lucifur is so lucky to have you :) He looks a lot like my cat Loki - he was even called Lucifer by his previous owner! :D I have a feeling that they would be buddies. 14724654_1...6886af.jpg 14724654_10211154416804595_2742344451693266712_n-5b0bea96886af.jpg

    Tuxedo cats are my favorite! Mine rescued me 6 years ago now. I regularly have to buy new 32 gig sd cards because he's such a cutie he hogs most of that storage space by himself.
