Tomcat Takes A Year To Finally Come Inside Woman's House | The Dodo

Stray tomcat takes a full year to finally come inside this woman's house — and once he does, he never wants to leave ❤️

We talked with Ricky's mom about the year she spent trying to gain his trust and the birthday party she threw him to celebrate!

Love the way she talked to him, even when he was hissy - happy, reassuring, calm, and loving. Very lucky kitty to have come across her and her partner.

So happy he's found a permanent place to call home!!! God bless you for helping feral cats and strays! Blessings!

The way his chipmunk cheeks go away at 2:55 after being neutered 🤣

What a handsome boy! Glad you found each other. 🥺❤️

My million thanks to Helen & family for making Ricky family member.

Helping stray cats is ALWAYS worth it.

I take care of a feral colony and have two cats of my own. I have seen and done TNR on many cats with my own money. Thank you for giving him a chance! We all deserve one! God bless you and your family!

A stray cat just like Ricky found me and made it clear I was going to take care of him. After so many vet visits he finally came inside for good and I had him for 20 yrs. I still miss that bossy boy. You've saved Ricky and I wish you all many happy years together! ❤❤🐱

From my time of having cats over the span of my life, I’ve always learned that it’s usually the older gentlemen kitties that have to softest spot for humans. I found this tiny orange kitten in a box back before I even Owned cats as a child, unfortunately all of his sibling passed because they were left in the summer heat and I had to sit with him around the clock because of fading kitten syndrome. He luckily pulled through and live to be 17, I’ll never forget thinking about the fact that as he got older he seemed to show more and more appreciation of the little things I’d do with him like bubble back pack walks or celebrating his birthday. Rip big Whiskey, because of you my heart has opened up to the ability to care for many more kitties like you and I see so much of you in my current baby teddy bear ❤

His birthday party was the cherry on top! Bless you for rescuing Ricky!

What a wonderful big ole boy!!! He wasn't for the streets. Thank you for being so patient with him.

From hissing to tummy rubs. That just goes to show what can happen when you let the cat choose his own timing. Well done.

I love how he shows you his claws as a sign of affection. 3:32

Helen and her partner are angels. The slow blinks of Ricky's and happy eyes warms my heart.

How people treat animals says a lot about them. God bless these folks.

He’s gorgeous and such a sweetie! You guys did such a great job!

[ladydragonrider]

A cat that does not try to escape after being outside, just tells you how much it isn't for any and all cats. This sweetheart deserves everything he has being given to him and more ❤

If more people were like these two the world would be such a better place, well done!!
