As Steve Hamel tinkered away in his garage on his jeep, he suddenly spotted a fluffy cat gazing up at him curiously. The situation would have been more normal if he actually owned a cat himself…
On Facebook, the story goes that, much to his surprise, a fluffy ginger cat decided to lend a helping paw by jumping onto Steve’s jeep. Steve was in disbelief at how calm and relaxed the cat seemed to be. “I’m just here trying to repair my jeep. I never even owned a cat,” he remarked.
On Facebook, it was evident that the cat had a soft spot for Steve, and the feeling was mutual. She snuggled up on his shoulders, seeking his affection. It was undeniably cute, but the question remained: where did this mysterious feline come from?
While Steve was busy working, she perched on his shoulders, then proceeded to climb up the crane to check out the jeep.
Afterward, she curled up in his toolbox, treating it like her cozy little bed.
I had a surprising day with a small assistant by my side.
Steve made an effort to find the owners of the cat, but unfortunately, she didn’t have a microchip and nobody seemed to be searching for her. He reached out to the community, asking if anyone was missing a sweet ginger feline, mentioning that if no one claimed her, they would be keeping her because she was so affectionate.
On Facebook, it was mentioned that the family absolutely loved their new cat, with the daughter even giving her the temporary name of Sally. They made sure to get her all the necessary cat supplies and cherished every moment spent with her.
Even though Steve felt like he had to keep searching for the cat’s owners, he decided to extend his efforts. He kept on looking and shared the story of the “garage cat” on Facebook. Before long, a family reached out to him.
From a Facebook post came an update from Steve, who happily declared, “We located the owners! These wonderful folks were joyfully reunited with their cherished cat. Turns out, they live just a stone’s throw away from us, and they shared some heartwarming photos of the cat having a blast with their daughter.”
From Facebook: Even though it was difficult, Steve found comfort in knowing he made the right choice. The orange tabby cat had captured his heart… That’s why he and his loved ones made the decision to give him a forever home.
On Facebook, it was mentioned that although they had originally wanted a tabby cat, a sweet and lovable black cat ended up stealing their hearts instead. They also added that black cats are often overlooked for adoption compared to other cats. Since they already had a tag made for a cat named Sally, they decided to name their new furry friend Sally 2.0.
On Facebook, it was shared that Ginger Sally made a lasting impact on Steve’s heart, which eventually led to a wonderful outcome: Steve and his family welcomed a gorgeous black cat into their home.
