Alone But Not Forgotten

Sky the senior cat was in a pickle.

Her human had passed away, and now she was all alone in the world.

To make matters worse, she would be forced to grieve the loss of her human somewhere full of strange, unfamiliar noises and smells.

She was taken to the Manhattan ACC, where all the other lost and lonely animals of NYC were.

It was very scary and chaotic, but Sky’s luck was about to change…

Someone had noticed her and was making moves behind the scenes to get her to a better place.

To the Rescue

Sky had somehow popped on the radar of Best Friends Animal Society in New York!

As soon as they heard about her, they went straight to the ACC and picked her up.

Before she knew it, she was in the loving home of a new foster family. 

They took her to the vet where they found out this sweet Sky was actually deaf.

She had a number of other health complications too, including severe allergies and bad infections.

But despite all of this, there was a light at the end of the tunnel!

Hope At Last

Sky stayed with her foster parents for almost 10 months.

During that time, Sky never once complained and was always the perfect foster cat.

Then one day, they got a call about Sky from a woman named Selena.

“Me and my partner at the time were looking online for a senior cat,” Selena said. “And she found Sky and said ‘we are getting this cat or else’.”

Selena saw Sky’s pictures and immediately fell in love.

However, there was still another obstacle…

Room for One More

Selena grew up with cats and has been a lifelong cat lover.

However, when her last two cats had passed away, she was devastated. 

“Once I lost them I decided I didn’t want another cat because I didn’t think I could handle the pain of losing one again,” said Selena.

However, one look at Sky’s pictures and she decided that it was a risk she was willing to take.

Selena had room for one more cat in her heart.

So it was settled: Sky would be going home with her new forever family.

Home at Last

Sky’s transition to her new home went much better than Selena expected.

“She was pretty cautious at first,” Selena said. “But by the end of the first night, she was sleeping in our bed with us.”

It was clear that Sky loved her new family and understood that she was finally in her new forever home.

Sky had been through so much, but Selena and her partner were willing to give this sweet senior girl all the love and attention she needed.

The couple was so happy they could give Sky the safety and security she always deserved.

A Day in the Life

Since adopting Sky, Selena and her partner separated and Sky remained with Selena.

Like the queen she is, Sky prefers to be an “only cat”, and the place Selena’s partner was moving to already had a cat.

Sky has been living the good life with Selena, being showered with all the love and attention her heart desires.

Selena is determined to make Sky’s golden years very special.

“She’s a little on the lazy side, she prefers to just lay on my bed or the couch,” Selena said. “Definitely the chillest cat I’ve ever had.”

But that doesn’t mean that Sky doesn’t love some adventure from time to time!

She even traveled across the country with Selena to go to a wedding.

She did great at the airport, and was very well behaved at the wedding.

Being a senior cat doesn’t stop Sky from living her best life!

Happily Ever After

Sky still struggles with a few health complications, but she has the perfect partner to weather the storm with her.

Selena is always at Sky’s side, through thick and thin.

The two are best friends, and they’re so happy they found each other.

Selena can tell that Sky knows she found her happily ever after.

She continues to thrive in a loving home where she feels appreciated and adored.

Sky’s story is a true pound-to-princess fairytale!
