A 19-year-old cat in the care of animal shelter staff in Ohio captured the attention of many online by giving him a spectacular birthday party to help him find a home for his aspirations.

The best part is that a social media celebration like this one, when the senior cat was given the finest present, became a platform for advertising.

Several individuals made the decision to offer to adopt him and give him a forever home after thousands of people read the post on the shelter’s Facebook page.

Sammy, the older cat, came to the Cincinnati Animal CARE shelter , after going through a very sad situation and being left in this place. For many years he had a loving home, but his owner had to go into a nursing home and was unable to take his beloved cat with him.

For this reason, the shelter staff knew all his information and even that his 19th birthday would be on June 15.

Sammy has always been known for being quite nice; he enjoys cuddles and hugs; he is very interested and pays attention to everything that takes place. He is undoubtedly a very easygoing and pleasant boy who enjoys spending time with his carers and taking naps on their laps.

Since he first came to the shelter, he garnered everyone’s affection, so when the staff learned that it was his birthday, they made the occasion memorable for him.

The shelter staff wanted Sammy to have an unforgettable day, but also for his birthday to serve as an opportunity to be adopted.

The shelter wrote on Facebook :

“Happy birthday to this beautiful boy who would love a nice quiet house to live out his golden years!”

The post was accompanied by a series of photos showing Sammy and his human friends celebrating his big birthday. In addition, you could see all the preparations for the party and how happy she was being the center of attention, posing with a beautiful hat.

Our medical staff does not feel he needs any extra care despite the fact that he has a heart murmur and a little lump under his ear.

Even after finding a forever home, Sammy kept getting adoption requests from several people who were touched by his story.

The shelter has capitalized on Sammy’s fame by inviting people to consider adopting another animal in need.Ray commented:“We encourage anyone whose heart is warmed by Sammy’s birthday party to adopt from their local animal shelter – they all need you right now.”

Without a doubt, Sammy’s birthday party will be an event that the older kitty will never forget, especially since he was able to find a forever home.
