Sad Looking Cat Gets Adopted And Purrs For The First Time Ever | The Dodo 

Saving one cat will not change the world, but surely for that one cat the world will change forever. Glad there are still people who care about these innocent animal lives.

I love when he just looked around his home and he was like "Am I dreaming?!" And then he turned around to get pets from his mom 😭😭❤️❤️

I like when he starts to purrr and close his eyes like, “At last, a happy life…” ☺️😌

Cats never lose their innocence. No matter what happened in the past, they are ready to respond in the present with affection and gratitude for kind treatment.

I love it when people adopt the older cats. The kittens will find homes, the older ones will not! Bruce is now living his best life!

It’s heartening to see senior cats getting a chance at happiness in their final years. Our senior pets deserve everything we can do for them!

Less than a year after my last cat passed away, my new baby randomly showed up at my door looking for food and snuggles. We found out later that she was someone else's, but the owner didn't want her anymore. So now she's mine. She's the best snuggler ever. ❤

Made me, a grown man - cry. Thank you so much for giving him a loving home.

Am I only the only grown man whose heart just breaks when seeing this? Seeing this old pal light up, purr, play and sleep so cozely just warms my heart.

Look at His eyes when he realizes, that He has found His forever home. Such a cute Cat, He deserves a wonderful life with love and kindness 🌞

I loved the moment he realized he had a home. He started making biscuits, purring and a look of such contentment. It's wonderful for the rest of his life he'll have love. ❤ 🐾🐾

His facial expression totally changed. He was so hopeless looking at first, but after getting adopted, you can literally see him smiling and looking so content.❤

that last pic looked like pure contentment ..i am very happy for you bruce..

I love how more his eyes are opening the more he's in his new home. Before he looked so sad he'd barely look you in the face or open past a squint. But near the end, they're wide open with happiness! 😄😄😄

i love how wide open his eyes got compared to the beginning where he was so sad :( great to see him happy

My heart was made for the lost, the forgotten, the discarded. The former toms are just beyond precious, they KNOW they have been rescued and given a great life. I can't handle it, makes me cry every time I see someone being so wise, so kindhearted to adopt a shelter kitty. You will be repaid beyond count.

He didn't take long to figure out that he'd landed on all fours! What a happy old boy and a beautiful new mum! 💕

Bruce is such a good natured kitty, super adorable. Glad he has a comfy forever home.

These are the cats I look for when I adopt new ones…. The ones everyone overlooks. The ones with health problems. The older mature animals. These are where you find your best friends.

He was depressed poor baby.keep his eyes closed shutting out the world because he only saw bad things. He went home and now opens his eyes because he just learn how wonderful his world actually IS now. Happy HomeComing Bruce. 💜

Seeing his eyes open up, I was sure he quickly acclimated to his environment. It's not common for a cat to get that comfy that quick with new owners/environs.

When Bruce grabbed that treat & his eyes lit up 2:19 saying "this is mine" he knew he was home. Great job Mama! The Purr is such a sweet sound, just pure Happiness & Comfort 🤗

Finally, and thankfully, Bruce has his forever home with someone like Yanise who loves him and will give him the care he deserves.

That “welcome home Bruce” melts my heart!🥹

When I adopted my cat the first thing I thought when I saw her was, “I’m not getting her”. And I don’t know why- she was and is absolutely an gorgeous calico queen. After being scratched to death by the other kitties at the shelter, a lady at the shelter put the cat in my arms and she began to purr! Eight years later I can’t imagine my life without her- she’s the smartest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She’s an inside-outside cat and the whole neighborhood knowns her because she likes to sleep in other people’s porches! And when I’m on the swing outside she hops up in my lap. Her name is Buttercups with an S, but we call her Schnoodercups.

It was mainly in the eyes - those eyes lit up and widened with joy with each passing day. The most heartwarming transformation!!! Thanks so much for your marvellous compassion and love for this precious cat - you gave him his life back!!! 💖😸🐾

I'll bet her parents are so proud to have such a kind lovely daughter. Bruce is an adorable orange love bug. Definitely a match made in heaven! So sweet.

He’s gorgeous! Thank you for loving him ❤

I adopted a big-headed stray in 2005. It was four months before I heard him purr for the first time. But once he started, he never stopped. He was the sweetest, cuddliest cat and did not have an aggressive bone in his body. Sadly he passed away suddenly a mere seven months later. I have the fondest memories of him.

Thank you for adopting this beautiful senior cat and making his last years happy ones. May your kindness be repaid a thousandfold. 😇

Mr Willis reminds me of the cat that came with my house. She was in pretty rough shape living a little over a year eating bug's and field rats but now she's livin large and looks much better. She's the only animal my dog Jasper will allow to come around so it was meant to be. They're buddies eat out of the same bowl and nap together

His eyes couldn't believe he had a home and got comfy immediately. He knew he had a home, how adorable ❤

He's like a loveable old teddy bear.

The Dodo is guaranteed to give me a “feel good” story every day. Great job gang, thanks!

Lovable & handsome "Bruce Willis" the tomcat. We're happy he's safe @ home & so well-loved. 💖

You’re a great woman and great soul for saving Bruce. I hope you’re both doing great.❤

He looked so incredibly sad at the beginning but now his whole demeanor has changed. So happy that you finally have the life you deserve precious Bruce.❤️

The story behind those eyes . . . no-one will ever truly know, but so glad he's found his forever home.

I love the transition from sad, lonely cat to a happy, healthy cat that's loved. Bless your heart for saving him.

Such a happy boy..he looks very loving..and much healthier at the end of the video..his loud PURRRRR😂❤ says it all..thanku for giving this big boy a new life..❤❤

You could see his personality in the shelter videos -- making biscuits on the bars of his cage.

I am amazed at how quickly he got used to a new place, given he was a former tom street cat for years. Most of those have huge trust issues. Whoever did the work of habituating him to people did a tremendous job!

Oh my gosh I love this so much. Bruce is so sweet!!

This baby needs to be protected at all costs. This lady better make sure he has a perfect life until the end.

The way he grabbed that treat!😂😂😂😂 He so sweet hugging your foot! Thank you for saving Bruce Wills!🥰

The tomcats I've had throughout my life have always been the most loving and loyal pets I've ever had. They really want nothing more than to sleep in a warm spot, eat well and get petted.

Beautiful. Makes me think of my Mr. Phil who was near death when I found him. He was with me for 4 years before his soul left this Earth. I can't wait to see him again.

You can just see the happiness on this cat's face and how healthier he gets. I am so happy for him. He is such a cutie. I hope the lady who adopted him has seen this video. Thank you... you are his hero. My cat too was adopted from my local ASPCA shelter and he was found in a car. It will be two years this November I have and he will turn four! His name is Larry and he is my love bug.

This is a baby in his second kittenhood, you have turned his life around. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i've cried so much... that person is a beautiful person for doing that. i hope bruce is happy.

As my former vet (RIP) used to say, "There's nothing like a big, red cat . . . " Bruce looks like the biggest baby on the planet. What a doll!

Rescues make the best friends. You know they appreciate it.

This is so Wonderful. Every cat deserves a good home! So pleased to see him so content and happy now.

I want one just like him...seemed like he knew he was in a safe and loving home...his face said it all. ❤️🐾

2:45 That look says it all. I'm so glad that you got Bruce and made him happy.

It's enough to make a grown man cry

I was volunteering for my local animal shelter at the booth for our festival. somebody actually threw a kitten out of thier car window. thank God she was bot hurt. 3 years ago. I kept her and named her priss. her name definitely fits her.

OMG, he is the most adorable kitty, even with a sad beautiful face. He is so lucky to have found you. Bless you both.

Absolutely Precious Furry Baby 🐱🌟💙💗💕

Couldn't help but cry. My cat's a rescue, herself. My partner and I saved her from a life outdoors when we found her hiding behind the recycling bin area at our apartment building. Glad Bruce has a happy loving home. He's so friggin' cute!

He’s so grateful! Gorgeous Tom Cat! His eyes even cleared up and widened . You are awesome for bringing him home❤️

I literally cannot understand how this freaking adorable cat went unloved for so long. It's so good to see him at peace.❤

That is so precious. I pray all cats find a home as loving.

The sound of his purring! Excellent rumble! So happy.

Some of the sweetest kitties you’ll ever meet are old toms who’ve spent their whole life struggling, desperately in need of someone who will love them. I’m so Bruce found his happily ever after, because that beautiful golden boy deserves it.

He's such a beautiful boy. I'm so glad he can live out the rest of his life in peace and happiness.

I love that precious face. Making air biscuits while he laid there. What a sweetie pie 💗💗💗

So nice to see a happy ending for that little sweetheart. He looks like a real life teddybear.

My favorite part is when Bruce catches his favorite treat, so adooooorable, he feels a kitty again thanks to you. God bless you!

What an adorable boy! 🐈😍

It is a relief when the animal's expression brightens.

Aww, he's such a sweet boy! So happy he found a forever home! Much happiness to Bruce and his new Mom!

You can see his eyes are alive in his new home. So glorious.

We saved 4 kittens last November abandoned under a porch and it has forever changed our lives. The joy they have brought us is beyond measure. No deed is too small. Helping in any way we can is what matters. It all adds up.

Bruce's eyes are no longer crusty and bright eyed. Bless your heart twofold!!! 💖

I love how he went from looking like he was crying to just... bright eyed and smiling.

The way he instantly understood he was "home" and started purring, kneading, interacting makes it all the more bittersweet... it's like he knew what's it like to have a home. Like he got lost or abandoned and thought he'd never have that happiness again. Thank you for giving him love and hope again.

I am so glad that he found a mom to love him! He deserves nothing less

My eyes are filled with tears watching this but my heart is so happy that you rescued that beautiful fur baby ! Can we get an update ? ♥️♥️

I really salute, appreciate and respect your natural instinct to immediately adopt Bruce! I would have done the exact same thing! Cats, are an amazing species that bring more true unbridled affection, gentleness and warmth to their human companions than we can ever give them back! The sound of that purr is magical!

He looks so content!! Good for Bruce and good for you.

The way his demeaner and body language totally changed when he was let out of the carrier was so touching. I'm glad he found a good home, and I'm delighted that there really are still good people in the world.

Oh, my goodness! Look at the happy transformation of that beautiful cat who has lived such a hard life that it showed on his face and his demeanor!

I was once told this long ago, and this I will never ever forget. I keep it dear to my heart. “Our animal companions may not be our whole world, but to them, we’re theirs. Keep them close to you because to them, you’re their entire world, their home, their comfort, and their friend. Love them and keep them safe for as long as they’re around, and in their last moments, remind that they will never be forgotten.”

Poor kitty probably never had it so good. Now he’s living the high life. Thank you for adopting him and giving him a loving home. 💕

What an angel! Thank you for rescuing him! 😢❤❤❤

2:46 Look at him! I swear, he is smiling, isn't he? 😍🥰 So cute!

The gratitude of an adopted pet is a bottomless well. It's never ending.

Bruce found the perfect mom now He will be living his best years, So very cute.

Thank you for adopting Bruce. You have made him a very happy boy. He's very. Very safe and happy thanks to your kindness. Bless you both 💖🙏😻

Looking at him making grabby paws while purring so peacefully filled me with joy. In one week this cat found happiness. I'm happy for him. 💛🐈

Aww, I'm so happy he got his forever home! Every cat deserves that! This is also pretty similar to what happened with my cat, Romeo B. Gaster. He'd lived out on the streets for the first two years of his life, so things were pretty rough for him. Then he was finally caught and taken to the local shelter, which he was super happy about. But once he got there and was surrounded by the other cats, he became miserable and completely antisocial. He didn't want to interact with anyone, including the people who visited to adopt a cat. The shelter owners thought he wasn't a nice cat either, and didn't even put him up for adoption on their website. And he was there for nine months.... At the end of those nine months, I walked in with my mom, looking to adopt a cat for my new home. He pops up a minute after he hears my voice for the first time, and what does he do? He curls up on my lap and makes himself comfortable! Crazier yet, when I made the decision to adopt him, my mom brought the cat carrier into the shelter - and he jumped RIGHT INSIDE not even a minute after she set it on the floor! To top it off, once we were at my apartment, he purred and purred for literal HOURS. He was so happy to be home! I'm proud to say that I've had him for over a year now, and we've been best buds since Day 1! I wouldn't change a thing, and I'm forever grateful to have him in my life. Love you, Romeo!!!

1:37 - That smile was heartbreakingly cute

I'm sooooo happy!!!! You made my day, and millions of other people's days too..God bless you. Welcome home, lovely precious Bruce😇😇😇❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

To see a former Tom Cat making biscuits is the cutest thing. That's how you know he feels really safe

Such an adorable angel!!! I love older kitties........they already "been there, scratched that, chewed that", and just want to lay around and get love and cuddles.

Changing the world one at a time. He’s beautiful.

Even old beat up cats are cute. He looks much happier now ❤

Thank you for taking him 🏡! He’s actually a very sweet and adorable kitty that deserves lot more in his life. I’m so glad now he has your love and everything. 😊🧡💜❤️

This video is pure joy. I love everything about it. I love her serving him dinner at the table and him politely waiting. I love how sweet his big round face looks when he's purring. Then cuddling with mom. I hope Bruce is still doing great.
