I cried through the whole video. What a beautiful story! Bless you & your husband for seeing that senior cats still have a lot of life & love left in them. Nugget looks like he's really enjoying his new life with you. He's a lucky boy.😻
Well I left a message to you above as you would like to see it it was directed to you but now I see that you're commenting here I really love your story thank you for sharing that is really cool sweet kitty and you really are blessed for letting him choose you🙏🏻❤
I adopted one of these almost toothless seniors myself. Course he adopted "the dog" before he adopted me but I don't take it personally ... the dogs a hot mess. 🙃
Yes, sometines somebody likes Nuggets, has a lot of Lucky, but, and the others porr Cats??? Humans we are DESPRECIABLE, abandoned ,, Es incomprensible for me....muchas gracias a personas como esta señora, gracias, gracias
I love how you could easily spend over a hundred bucks getting a fancy cat tree, bed and toys for your first cat and he's like "nah, bruh, gimme an oven mitt, a dark cabinet and potatoes."
Their sunset time is the best, they are calm and so wise, it's a honour to have a senior animal around. My oldest cat is 11 yo and he's our world, and I also have another 7 furballs, they mean everything for me and my family
Same. My dog came running in and jumped on me for a cuddle when this video started, so I just hear this strange creature trilling and for awhile had no idea what kind of creature this "Nugget" was. I let the video play and cuddled with my 15 y/o pup, and I still loved the noises. So crazy! Nugget is very special. 💕
This is why psychologists recommend cats 🐈 to senior citizens.. those that are alone and or lonely. Because cats have this therapeutic aura/energy to them. 😚🤗 I'm glad Nugget was adopted! He's absolutely adorable 😍
On the one hand i agree that cats or any pet can provide comfort, companionship and entertainment for senior citizen. But on the other hand I'd always be worried what happens to them if the owner goes to the hospital or dies. It's actually why i decided my current pets will be my last. I don't have an extended family that i could ask to take care of them, and i would hate to think of my pets alone and abandoned. For some, me is all they known their entire lives.
@@thomas1942I'm a senior who shares your concerns. Some communities have programs that pair senior kitties with senior citizens. If something happens to the adopter, the organization will take and care for the kitty. It's a win-win situation! 🐈
@@thomas1942 You may think of making a call once a day to a neighbor or friend and voicing this concern especially a pet owner.This way you have a backup plan for you and your pets . It's like a lifeline. I checked in on a friend and lucky thing his door was unlocked.He had been on the floor all night. The pets also especially dogs bark for help.
Doreen Smith: three years ago we adopted two cats from an animal rescue center: An 8 year old male and a 10 year old female. We presume that the cats were maltreated by their previous owner, the male is missing some teeth, one of his ears is standing askew and he has a scar on his nose. And the first weeks at any sudden movement of ours both immediately hid under the sofa. The first days the male was hiding away under a bed but then on the fourth day he showed up by peeping around the corner of the living room just as Nugget does at 3:08 in this video. Since that moment he has become the dearest cat we ever had. We can recommend everyone who plans to adopt a cat to adopt an adult one.
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim The female cat reacted quite different. She didn't hide away and immediately found her own place on the sofa. But she remained very standoffish. It has taken more than two years for her to become (again?) a lovely little cat that likes cuddling. She now loves cuddling so much that we sometimes find her intrusive. Both cats enjoy the garden. The male one likes sitting in the sun and playing with dry leaves and chasing butterflies and little insects. The female likes sitting in the sun as well, but her great outdoor activity is catching mice. And that she does extremely well.
I went to an animal rescue Center to adopt a cat, there was one who walked up to me and wanted to play. She was so small and i assumed she was a kitten but the staff told me she was 10 years old. Her previous owners left the cat at the shelter 5 weeks prior to my visit because they wanted a kitten instead... Nobody wanted Tara because she was a senior. She is now 13 years old and she is the cutest snugglebug ever. I call her my furry tummy tumor because she wants to lie on my stomach every day for Naps and cuddles. I am so glad i adopted a senior. If she dosen't get the attention she craves she Will carefully meow at me until i scratch her ears. She needs to visit the vet once a year and get her teeth cleaned, but that is a responsibility i Will gladly take to keep her healthy and happy.
So happy for you and Tara❤️ I can't imagine how many times she would have gone up to people only to be ignored for a kitten. Thank you for being her angel💖 Seniors are special!
It’s nuts and infuriating that the previous owners discarded their cat like an object or a piece of trash they didn’t need or want anymore because they felt she was too old. Honestly if I were the shelter I would have taken the cat but refused to let them adopt another one. If they’re gonna treat their pet like a disposable object then they’re not fit to have one.
@@ToothlessNugget I have three cats and they all love potatoes too! Every day they have to go and sniff them and sit by them. I have no idea why! Silly cats! :)
I had three dear tuxedo cats in my life. Poppy was the perfect kid’s cat…would play and cuddle and put up with anything. Tutu was all hugs and purrs, and questions. He always said, “Oh, yeah?” Speedy was quietly loyal.
Seniors, even black cats don't get adopted as fast. They're all beautiful, precious and deserve loving homes. Great story and thank you for adopting Nugget.
Black cats dont last at my shelter they get adopted pretty fast. So I'm glad to see that stigma starting to vanish. I also adopted a black cat from my shelter job after she got relinquished because of a baby.
The absolute sweetest cat I have ever known was a black cat. He was just precious and very humble. He was my precious little gentleman and knowing him actually changed my life for the better. I only had him for four years and he passed away from cancer. My heart broke. 💔 I know I will see him again someday, I miss him so much.
@@julietteyork6293 1962 was a good year? Maybe, but not on earth. Cuba crisis, syrian-kurdish apartheit, Kennedy starts the vietnam war and god is still killing babies. A very good year!
I'm a big advocate for adopting seniors as well. Everyone wants a kitten, but older ones are usually passed by. Even ask your vet and they can usually give you one pretty quickly. I adopted an 8 yr old girl my vet said was brought in and they just didn't want her anymore. She was having issues with the other cats they had and they were going to put her down, a perfectly healthy, lovely kitty rather than even trying to re home her. The vet took her and knew I was looking for a kitty after my previous one had passed away. In less than 8 hrs after they brought her in to have her put down, I'd agreed to take her and she was mine. They said most won't give an older animal the time of day. She's been a wonderful gift to me and I'm so glad I have her. They didn't know what a gem they had. They hadn't taken her to the vets once since they'd gotten her as a kitten 8 years before. She was a strictly indoor cat, but they hadn't even gotten her annual shots and checkup. Unreal. She gets good, regular care now.
The special purring that nugget does, trilling, it’s the best medicine in the world! 💖 Thank you for sharing your life with this sweet soul and for sharing his magical trilling with all of us 🥰
My Mariah would trill for me when I would cuddle with her. She was an orange 🍊 colored with darker orange stripes. She looked like a jar of marmalade, with pale sea green eyes and, like Nugget, loved her cuddle times. I miss her so much.
Right from the start, Nuggets incredibly contented trilling reached into my heart and soul and instantly lifted me. I'm saving your video to my Cats Rule playlist for times I need another fix Thanks and Thank You Nugget 😽💗
It hurts to know seniors are forgotten. Fur seniors need love too until they pass. I encourage to give seniors or special need animals a loving chance.
My cat also does "trilling" . That's how she got her nick name "Bird". Her real name is Lola, but shortly after getting her she started doing this real short Meows like a chirping sound , paired with the trilling . She became known as Lola Bird.
I love this! I’ve rescued animals from the streets since I was a little girl living in the country where people would dump their animals in bags on the side of the road. I have 6 rescue dogs right now. This is such a beautiful tribute to Nugget!
whaaat!?! how are they supposed to breathe?!? then again I do quite appreciate The drive to The country rather than turning in to a shelter, to turn your fur-soul into a shelter is like turning them in a prison to death row!
Much gratitude for adopting a senior cat. I adopted a 15 year old cat named Hope. She was beautiful inside and out. Just like Nugget. So happy for him.
@@SarahDunlap I was lucky to have her in my life for almost 4 years. There isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't cross my mind. I now have living with me a 7 year old tortoiseshell named Molly. She was abandoned by her owners and she spent the better part of a year living outside the house she used to call home. She relied on handouts from neighbors. As soon as I was made aware of her, well, to say she now owns my entire house would be an understatement. 🙂
What a beautiful cat and story, we too are cat people. If everyone could see this video, it would help break the stereotypes given to cats being un affectionate. Our cats are loving too, always wanting to be by us, they purr loud, but nothing like this sweet lil nugget. We truly are the lucky ones when we find such amazing companions! God Bless, and enjoy! Thanks for going to a shelter, for taking in nugget!💕🐱
He looks so adorable. I love his purr and that cute little hat he wears. My cat Xina also has a very loud purr and that's when I know she is happy and content.
You "instantly connected with him" and there's no doubt he instantly connected with you too! Just lovely. We adopted an elderly stray who made a duck like 'quack' when pleased. The love and connection between pet and human is wonderful.
Nugget is just a cuddle bug 🐜 and extremely sweet. 💕❤️🤗🤗🥰He is living a wonderful life with you and your husband now. What a beautiful story of this amazing senior cat!! 💕💕🙏🙏🥹🥹!!
Nugget looks exactly like my senior Mr Boots whom I adopted 2 years ago when he was 16. He lost both his parents to Covid. He was so depressed and sad when I met him. I knew that I would not leave without him!!! He hates my other cats but was raised with cats and 3 dogs. Go figure!! But after he felt that life was getting pretty good, he poured his heart out to me💙💙💙💙. Seniors are worth their weight in gold!!!! Bless you for giving Nugget the best life!!!!!!
I rescued a senior cat also. I was on every kind of allergy spray, pill, inhaler, there is and after one year I'm down to 2 zyrtec! I love my kitty so much. Since he was 10 and lost everybody( his human mom died of brain cancer and his cat sister and brother died of old age and sickness..) I couldn't have him die in a shelter and I've made it my mission to let his senior years be happy ones. He loves my pomeranian and I adore him!!! He was shy and quiet when I got him... now he let's me snuggle and kiss him up when ever I want to! He's the greatest.
Aww. My little toothless Siamese mix did the same thing upon meeting at the shelter! Came right up to us and sat in our lap! He is now currently sitting in my lap, sleeping . Poor buddies- wish we could learn about their background. They are Gods creation and should be protected and loved.❤
Yes , he looks very happy in his cupboard. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful fur friend. Not only do we rescue them , they also rescue us by giving us their love.
What a wonderful story. And what sweet purring sounds Nugget makes. It's funny, but my cat only used to meow when I wasn't in his direct line of sight too. It was like he was saying, "I'm in here!" After that it was all purring. ❤
Nugget is so handsome, I Love his colour, he seems like such a good boy, sweet & loving , glad you guys found each other! ❤️💗🤍 I Love animals, i' ve had cats in my life since I was 14, I have 4 cats now and I Love them all 💜💛🤍
I used to sleep with my cats too and their purrs will put me to sleep! My fave cat passed away 4 yrs ago at the age of 20. He was the last cat allowed to sleep on my bed. Now I have 2 senior cats and 2 kittens.
I had a old cat that was named millie, she had one tooth and was a elderly cat and to be honest people love kittens but senior and elderly cats are just so nice and clam and it’s such a good feeling to know you can give a cat a life it always deserved
My 14yrs old tabby purrs the same way when she is super content and affectionate. She does purr like typical cats, and a few times a week she will do the double layer high pitched sound (I hear the typical low-deep purr and the high-pitched that does sound like a pigeon!). When I hear that purr, I know she is committed to give me hugs for quite a while... :D I would say that Nugget is also a super content cat.
If you’re thinking of adopting and older cat, don’t hesitate. I adopted a 15+ ex-stray, he knows I’ve given him a new lease on life, and he shows his appreciation every day.
Nugget truly appreciates his family's love and care. He was meant to be theirs because they have so much love to give him. So precious. And his potatoes.
I feel a connection to you and Nugget. I reached 2 senior cats a year or so back. Big Mac, the male, likes to go to sleep with his paw in my hand. And Missy Lou, the female has very few teeth. She lays on my side, not by my side, but on my side, when I lay down. I can't imagine not having them here. God bless you for adopting Nugget. It's so easy to see how much he loves you.
I am a writer and l can't imagine a sweeter love story than this one. Both the cat and the humans who love and understand Nugget are remarkably beautiful beings.
That's seriously what I would call my Maine Coon kitty. 13 years, and 24 lbs. His purrr was the best sound I've ever heard, I'd call him my pigeon, and my soul mate, too! I miss him every freaking day of my life. Never had such a strong connection with any living creature. And that's not an over exaggeration. It was a silent understanding, felt through the eyes. Miss you Oli Bear. 💚💚💚💚💚
Yeah...Nugget chose you!! Just think...Nugget KNOWS that you rescued him...and for that kindness, you will be lavished with love, cuddling, purring and a new nap partner!! Yeah, you hit the kitty jackpot!😸
What a sweet lamb! Nugget is so fortunate to have you as his owner and obviously you feel very fortunate to have him in your life. All the BEST to you!!!!!!
He is beautiful, aand soooo lucky to have found you. I believe many abandoned cats are grateful to be rescued and like Nugget, show it. But if a cat has been traumatized by its experiences it can takea very long time for it to overcome that and trust in humans again. Bless you for taking him.
Cats may not speak a human language, but they most definitely have their own, made up of their chirps and sounds and body language; those who can read it and understand them are already way ahead of the curve because it opens up another dimension of life. He's adorable!
Those green eyes are such a gorgeous color. The potato connection is so funny. This was truly heartwarming. I too would never be able to resist Nugget's charms at the shelter. It clearly was so meant to be. 😻
Awww, Nugget is so sweet & adorable .. I love that soft, sweet sound he makes, and his love for cozying up with potatoes is absolutely adorable .. I'm so happy Nugget and his adopted Mom found each other 💞💗💞
I know your feeling. Cats can just have this way of knowing when your having some strong emotion and they relate to you in that moment. It's a beauty in a creature I can't explain. 😻😄🐾💞✌️
What a great story! I rescued 7 cats in the last 22 years. The oldest was 18 and she had diabetes. We treated and loved her. She was 20 when she passed away and I miss her so much... 😢♥️
Nugget is so adorable! He sounds like a tribble from Star Trek, and I just think that's the most hilariously cute thing. Older pets are wonderful: my family has taken in our fair share of adult and senior animals over the years, and not only are they usually calmer and far more able to adapt to a new environment without the trials and tribulations that come from kittens (or puppies), but they're also often the ones who are the most loving, particularly those who have been left behind by a previous human.
Nugget is so cute and adorable. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Such a beautiful story. He so loves you guys for saving him and he is letting you know all the time with that purring and cuddling. 😍🥰😻
Thank you for featuring our sweet Nugget, GeoBeats!
What a wonderful boy you have!
aww, he look real cute
You are so blessed to have the Nugget in your life! He knew you needed him. Your story had me shedding a few tears.

Someone abandoned him in his senior years. Now, he has a dependable family and with his oven mitt, potatoes and snuggly cabinet, life is grand.
Nothing is better than a good potato and oven mitt. Nugget has found the keys to life. Loving it
I adopted one of these almost toothless seniors myself.
Course he adopted "the dog" before he adopted me but I don't take it personally ... the dogs a hot mess.

Maybe previous owner passed away? It does happen..and either no family to care for him or they dont want to take care.
Some scummy human
I love how you could easily spend over a hundred bucks getting a fancy cat tree, bed and toys for your first cat and he's like "nah, bruh, gimme an oven mitt, a dark cabinet and potatoes."
Ughhh unfortunately cats are like that. They will play with the box the dangone kitty condo came in 😭

Our cats are loving too, always wanting to be by us, they purr loud, but nothing like this sweet lil nugget. We truly are the lucky ones when we find such amazing companions! God Bless, and enjoy! Thanks for going to a shelter, for taking in nugget!💕🐱
Nugget is so calm and affectionate, his trilling is so soothing.
He looks so adorable. I love his purr and that cute little hat he wears. My cat Xina also has a very loud purr and that's when I know she is happy and content.
You "instantly connected with him" and there's no doubt he instantly connected with you too! Just lovely. We adopted an elderly stray who made a duck like 'quack' when pleased. The love and connection between pet and human is wonderful.
Nugget is just a cuddle bug 🐜 and extremely sweet. 💕❤️🤗🤗🥰He is living a wonderful life with you and your husband now. What a beautiful story of this amazing senior cat!! 💕💕🙏🙏🥹🥹!!
Animals are just the best!! Thank you for adopting a senior cat instead of a kitten. God bless!!
Precious handsome Nugget is a real lovable sweetheart.
Absolutely sounds like a movie Velociraptor eyeing its prey! Adorable cat.
Nugget looks exactly like my senior Mr Boots whom I adopted 2 years ago when he was 16. He lost both his parents to Covid. He was so depressed and sad when I met him. I knew that I would not leave without him!!! He hates my other cats but was raised with cats and 3 dogs. Go figure!! But after he felt that life was getting pretty good, he poured his heart out to me💙💙💙💙. Seniors are worth their weight in gold!!!! Bless you for giving Nugget the best life!!!!!!
I rescued a senior cat also. I was on every kind of allergy spray, pill, inhaler, there is and after one year I'm down to 2 zyrtec! I love my kitty so much. Since he was 10 and lost everybody( his human mom died of brain cancer and his cat sister and brother died of old age and sickness..) I couldn't have him die in a shelter and I've made it my mission to let his senior years be happy ones. He loves my pomeranian and I adore him!!! He was shy and quiet when I got him... now he let's me snuggle and kiss him up when ever I want to! He's the greatest.
grew up with a senior cat, she made it to twenty one
Aww. My little toothless Siamese mix did the same thing upon meeting at the shelter! Came right up to us and sat in our lap! He is now currently sitting in my lap, sleeping . Poor buddies- wish we could learn about their background. They are Gods creation and should be protected and loved.❤
omg can he be any cuter he has the best life now like a king.
That is beautiful. Thank you for taking a chance and adopting Nugget.
Yes , he looks very happy in his cupboard. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful fur friend. Not only do we rescue them , they also rescue us by giving us their love.
What a wonderful story. And what sweet purring sounds Nugget makes. It's funny, but my cat only used to meow when I wasn't in his direct line of sight too. It was like he was saying, "I'm in here!" After that it was all purring. ❤
Awwww those noises are so cute
Nugget is so handsome, I Love his colour, he seems like such a good boy, sweet & loving , glad you guys found each other! ❤️💗🤍 I Love animals, i' ve had cats in my life since I was 14, I have 4 cats now and I Love them all 💜💛🤍
I used to sleep with my cats too and their purrs will put me to sleep! My fave cat passed away 4 yrs ago at the age of 20. He was the last cat allowed to sleep on my bed. Now I have 2 senior cats and 2 kittens.
Can’t stop my tears!! Beautiful ❤❤❤
I love Nugget! Many years of shared joy to all of you
My heart is full of love for this Senior Cat.
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
I had a old cat that was named millie, she had one tooth and was a elderly cat and to be honest people love kittens but senior and elderly cats are just so nice and clam and it’s such a good feeling to know you can give a cat a life it always deserved
That is one sweet, happy cat 💜
I have 2 elders in my life I couldn't imagine life without them either, you're a beautiful person
Cats and dogs make us happy❤️
Poor angel, so sweet and cute. Only cats can be so beautiful even toothless.
My 14yrs old tabby purrs the same way when she is super content and affectionate. She does purr like typical cats, and a few times a week she will do the double layer high pitched sound (I hear the typical low-deep purr and the high-pitched that does sound like a pigeon!). When I hear that purr, I know she is committed to give me hugs for quite a while... :D
I would say that Nugget is also a super content cat.

Heartwarming story.
Bless the owner for taking on this gorgeous senior cat 🐈⬛ heart ❤️
If you’re thinking of adopting and older cat, don’t hesitate.
I adopted a 15+ ex-stray, he knows I’ve given him a new lease on life, and he shows his appreciation every day.
Heartwarming - thank you for saving this senior cat. Bless you.
Nugget truly appreciates his family's love and care. He was meant to be theirs because they have so much love to give him. So precious. And his potatoes.
*NUGGIE IS AN ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE CAT,YOU AND HUBBY ARE BLESSED WITH HIM.*
I haven't heard that purr for 13 years since my little cat, Pixie died. thank you for sharing Nugget and his purr. I feel Pixie near me tonight.
I think you are wonderful to adopt a senior cat. I can’t believe how loud he purrs ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Senior animals are amazing & still have so much love to give🥰 I have 2 senior rescue dogs & would definitely adopt others.
So soothing cosy kitty
Nugget’s beautiful purrs are beautiful. He knows he is safe and loved. Thank you for saving him. He chose you.
I feel a connection to you and Nugget. I reached 2 senior cats a year or so back. Big Mac, the male, likes to go to sleep with his paw in my hand. And Missy Lou, the female has very few teeth. She lays on my side, not by my side, but on my side, when I lay down. I can't imagine not having them here. God bless you for adopting Nugget. It's so easy to see how much he loves you.
I am a writer and l can't imagine a sweeter love story than this one. Both the cat and the humans who love and understand Nugget are remarkably beautiful beings.
Nugget is gorgeous. He's adorable. I'm happy he has a wonderful loving forever home. He's a happy boy.
That's seriously what I would call my Maine Coon kitty. 13 years, and 24 lbs. His purrr was the best sound I've ever heard, I'd call him my pigeon, and my soul mate, too! I miss him every freaking day of my life. Never had such a strong connection with any living creature. And that's not an over exaggeration. It was a silent understanding, felt through the eyes. Miss you Oli Bear. 💚💚💚💚💚
Not only is his trilling soothing and adorable, but he actually is a beautiful cat. And he couldn't be with better people than you 💟
Nugget's the cuttest velociraptor than I know!
Yeah...Nugget chose you!!
Just think...Nugget KNOWS that you rescued him...and for that kindness, you will be lavished with love, cuddling, purring and a new nap partner!! Yeah, you hit the kitty jackpot!😸
What a sweet lamb! Nugget is so fortunate to have you as his owner and obviously you feel very fortunate to have him in your life. All the BEST to you!!!!!!
He is beautiful, aand soooo lucky to have found you. I believe many abandoned cats are grateful to be rescued and like Nugget, show it. But if a cat has been traumatized by its experiences it can takea very long time for it to overcome that and trust in humans again. Bless you for taking him.
Wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up. I have adopted a couple senior and junior adults. They are great.
He is beautiful, could listen to him all day, it's very soothing.
Nugget’s a dream. So sweet and quirky. Glad he’s living a wonderful life now filled with love. Such beautiful, kind humans too 😊❤️
I'm so glad this Angel has a loving, wonderful home. We need so much love in this world. It's a beautiful thing to see. 🤗🤗💐💐🌻🌻❤️
Nugget is obviously happy to have been adopted, and loves you folks.
Seniors are awesome - I know I’m one! Love the way he coos at you. Mine hums, no meows. Thank you for the rescue 🐾♥️🐾
He’s adorable! I love it when cats free-form purr out of sheer joy and gratitude. A cat makes a home a home!
Nugget is thrilled to have you love him. Surely he had a home at one time. Thanks for choosing an adult
Cats may not speak a human language, but they most definitely have their own, made up of their chirps and sounds and body language; those who can read it and understand them are already way ahead of the curve because it opens up another dimension of life. He's adorable!
OMG! I LOVE his squeaky purr. He sounds like my Gizmo. His purr is SO loud and squeaky too.
Those green eyes are such a gorgeous color. The potato connection is so funny. This was truly heartwarming. I too would never be able to resist Nugget's charms at the shelter. It clearly was so meant to be. 😻
It's amazing how much they get to you. Enjoy him while you have him.
He's so sweet and loving! Every trilling purr is a thank you for giving him a home and loving him! And those hands on his paws are hilarious!
Leaving potatoes for comfort, that is just the sweetest. What a great video!
he truely is a nugget, a golden adorable sweethearted nugget 🥰
Thank you for adopting a senior cat. What a wonderful life you are giving him ❤️ 💖 💕
Awww, Nugget is so sweet & adorable .. I love that soft, sweet sound he makes, and his love for cozying up with potatoes is absolutely adorable .. I'm so happy Nugget and his adopted Mom found each other 💞💗💞
I know your feeling. Cats can just have this way of knowing when your having some strong emotion and they relate to you in that moment. It's a beauty in a creature I can't explain. 😻😄🐾💞✌️
What a great story! I rescued 7 cats in the last 22 years. The oldest was 18 and she had diabetes. We treated and loved her. She was 20 when she passed away and I miss her so much... 😢♥️
So lovely. I hope they live a very long time together.
Nugget is so adorable! He sounds like a tribble from Star Trek, and I just think that's the most hilariously cute thing. Older pets are wonderful: my family has taken in our fair share of adult and senior animals over the years, and not only are they usually calmer and far more able to adapt to a new environment without the trials and tribulations that come from kittens (or puppies), but they're also often the ones who are the most loving, particularly those who have been left behind by a previous human.
I love the tribble reference...😉😉
My, what a sweet cat 🤗
What beautiful hearts you have for Nugget... ...and Nugget for you.
I'm moved beyond words. 🧡 🧡 🧡
Nugget is so cute and adorable. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Such a beautiful story. He so loves you guys for saving him and he is letting you know all the time with that purring and cuddling. 😍🥰😻
🤧 aww he's such a gorgeous beauty, bless you for saving him, great video thanks 💖😁
