While the devastating Eaton fires were finally being extinguished, rescues were flooded with animals needing care. And these were family pets, strays and feral homeless animals. Given everything they needed to heal, the lucky souls were welcomed back home or put up for adoption. For one very fluffy grey boy named Art, he went from a street life to being adopted and welcomed inside. Finally safe and well fed, his purrsonality began to show. But it wasn’t exactly the ideal home.
When no owners stepped forward to claim him, Art remained at the shelter for about 3 months. It was then that he finally found a welcoming home to the relief of the staff. And what the owner did was right; they gave him at least 3 months to acclimate to his new life. But sadly, it wasn’t the right fit for Art.

He’s settling in extremely well and we are so happy to give him all the loving he wants/needs.

Be sure to follow him on his new journey and thank you as always to Pasadena Humane for their dedication!
While the devastating Eaton fires were finally being extinguished, rescues were flooded with animals needing care. And these were family pets, strays and feral homeless animals. Given everything they needed to heal, the lucky souls were welcomed back home or put up for adoption. For one very fluffy grey boy named Art, he went from a street life to being adopted and welcomed inside. Finally safe and well fed, his purrsonality began to show. But it wasn’t exactly the ideal home.
Because Art was returned to the shelter for being “too needy”.
The team at Pasadena Humane was heartbroken to see him back in the shelter. Although, it’s a better outcome that him being dumped so kudos to his first adopter for that. But being ‘too needy’ sadly isn’t a new problem for some adopters. The shelter explained to the local KTLA news how Art had gotten to this point.When no owners stepped forward to claim him, Art remained at the shelter for about 3 months. It was then that he finally found a welcoming home to the relief of the staff. And what the owner did was right; they gave him at least 3 months to acclimate to his new life. But sadly, it wasn’t the right fit for Art.
His sad tale was shared on their social media pages where it quickly went viral.
With an almost deep sadness behind his eyes, the fluffy gray boy sat alone in his cage. Back at the shelter now after experiencing indoor life. And he deserved every minute of being safe, loved and carefree. Someone would surely see that. And someone quickly did!For Kiri Celiceo and her husband, it was love at first sight. So they leapt into action and literally adopted him the very next day! What a wonderful outcome for them all.Art (A51995was returned to the shelter for being too needy. But we know that’s actually a positive trait to a lot of adopters! If you’re looking for a Velcro kitty who always wants to be the center of attention (and will show off his perfectly fluffy belly to make sure that happens), seven-year-old Art is probably the cat for you!
