On December 8, a beautiful cat named Ellie was surrendered by her family because she wanted to cuddle with them at night. The heartbreaking situation went viral after a Twitter user shared photos and wrote:
Yall. This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. This cat was returned to the shelter because she wanted to cuddle her owners at night.
Ellie’s adoption note card said that she would cry outside of her owner’s door at night…fortunately for Ellie, social media did what social media does. It went viral – the Tweet was was like over 76,000 times and shared more than 6100 times and because of the attention, Ellie found a home.
Greenbriar Humane Society, who initially sheltered Ellie before she went to a rescue partner, said:
The rest of the story – sweet, affectionate Ellie was adopted this past weekend because of her viral story.
Now Ellie can cuddle to her heart’s content.
