Ever wondered what it's like when you're unexpectedly chosen to be a hero? Not the cape-wearing, world-saving kind, but the type that involves becoming the proud owner of a stray cat who's decided you're the one. Do you think it’s an adorable way to adopt a cat? Today, we have a story like that and we can’t wait to share it with you.
One day, Tegan, a kind homeowner, had a surprising visit from a little kitten with an adorable wobbly walk. He named this cute furball Engine, and it seemed like he couldn't have picked a better place to wander into. His shaky steps and heartfelt cries were signals that he needed help urgently.
Luckily, Engine came to just the right destination.

Starved for love and nourishment, he seemed to know instinctively that help was within reach. The moment Engine saw Tegan, he made his decision right away. He would not just come for food but also for love and a loving home.
“He entered the yard as if he knew a special needs cat rescue was nearby,” Tegan shared.
Engine was then taken to the vet and his health was checked carefully.

Being touched by this loving cat, Amber took Engine under her wing. She wants to give him a second chance at life.
He adapted to his new surroundings like a champ! On his very first day in his new home, Engine moved from one lap to another, purring happily and hugging everyone as if he were making up for lost affection. That night, he slept soundly, like a king, all warm, cozy, and with a full belly.
Amber notes, "He's never met a stranger. Whether at the vet or in a new home, Engine is instantly affectionate."
Engine's unique quirks make him even more lovable.

He follows his human pals around like a loyal shadow, watching their daily activities. And if he feels a bit left out, he's not shy about letting everyone know he wants to be picked up.
His playful spirit shines as he chases feather toys with enthusiasm and explores tunnels like a true adventurer. And even though he wobbles and stumbles, his spirit remains unbroken.
But don't be fooled by his health condition—Engine loves going out.

He spends time in the yard, basking in the sun alongside the family's chickens. He's become friends with them and enjoys the fresh outdoor air.
"He was initially curious about the chickens. Now, they hang out together in the yard, and the chickens aren't at all afraid of him," Tegan shared.
