Larry, initially discovered in a forlorn state as a stray cat, has undergone a remarkable transformation into a lovable companion. His new owner exclaims, “He’s my Prince Charming!” Larry was found by the Exploits Valley SPCA with signs of frostbite on his ears, nose, and paws, indicating that he had been fending for himself for some time.
Despite being around 1-2 years old, Larry quickly warmed up to humans, eager for companionship. Shelter staff noted irregularities in Larry’s walk and breathing. A vet diagnosed a ruptured diaphragm, making it uncertain how long Larry would live. Nevertheless, he exuded joy, kneading the floor and purring nonstop around volunteers.
The journey of healing and discovery took an unexpected turn when Ally, smitten by a post about Larry, contacted the shelter and found it to be a perfect match. Larry instantly connected with Ally, and the two became inseparable. In his new home, Larry transformed into a cuddly pet, following Ally around like a shadow. He even became an adventurous companion, joining Ally on travels by car, plane, and boat.
Ally couldn’t be happier with her new family member. “He greets everyone who comes to the house. He’s a laid-back kitty who loves his baby brother, Gus,” she shared. While at the shelter, Larry’s future was uncertain, initially in need of a home to survive even a few weeks.
Now, years later, Larry is thriving and living his best life. His story serves as a testament to the transformative power of love and care, showcasing how a stray cat can turn into a charming companion when given a chance.
