At fifteen years old, this distinguished feline gentleman has the playful spirit of a kitten in his aging heart, touching the lives of everyone he meets with his extraordinary zest for life.
Buggy's journey took an unexpected turn when his former family made the surprising decision to relinquish him, bringing him to a clinic with the intention of saying a final farewell.
However, fate had different plans. The compassionate clinic staff, witnessing his vibrant life still burning bright, couldn't bear to see his story end there.
In a pivotal moment of kindness, they refused to proceed with the euthanasia, choosing instead to give Buggy the gift of a fresh start.
Here was a cat who welcomed everyone into his heart – humans, fellow cats, and even dogs became part of his extended family.
His affectionate nature manifests in the most endearing ways; he trails behind his human companions like a faithful shadow, his gentle meows a constant request for cuddles and attention.
Buggy's curiosity remains as fresh as a spring morning. He spends hours perched by windows, his wise eyes taking in the world beyond the glass, whilst basking in the warm sunlight.
But don't mistake him for a mere observer – this adventurous soul delights in supervised outdoor expeditions, proudly wearing his leash as he explores the backyard.
And then there's his most charming quirk – the endearing way he sometimes eats his dry food, daintily scooping it up with his paws as if dining at a fine establishment.
In Buggy's story, we see that it's never too late for a new beginning.
His journey from unwanted senior to beloved companion shows us that love, joy, and playfulness know no age limits.
In his golden years, Buggy continues to embrace each day with a kitten's heart, teaching us all about the timeless nature of happiness and the endless capacity for love.

A big thank you to Chatons Orphelins Montréal for sharing Buggy's story with us.
I've rescued seniors others threatened to take in as they couldn't cope with them anymore, as much to my sadness about a cat being dumped I knew they so much to offer, so old man " Mitch" came into my home and into his own. turned into a trusting, loving, playful amazing cat, a ginger no less 😁 who lived another 6 years. he was the bestest of boys. pandemic was unfair to so many once life came back to the streets. I am happy to have had both cats and dogs, young zesty spitfire seniors and live each and every one. what would we do if people were dumped the same way. scary how easy it is for some. thank you all who step up to the plate.❤️💗🥰
