A cat came up to a nice person outside of work and curled up in his arms wanting to be held.

of volunteers sparkle cat rescue I met a friendly stray cat near my workplace. She noticed that he had many battle scars on his face and that he wanted so much to be loved.

He waited outside the office as if to let him in. The weather was getting worse by the day, so with the help of her rescue, they brought in the cat and named her affectionately Chester.

“He was very eager to enter the house and was following people around him crying for love,” Sparkle Cat Rescue shared on social media.

“The day he was rescued it started to snow and we couldn’t wait any longer. He was showing signs of upper respiratory disease. He spent his first night indoors. I enjoyed it, and he was very grateful for this new opportunity in life.”

They took him to the vet, got him diagnosed, and started looking for long-term foster care for this sweet little boy.

“From the time[the veterinarian’s]check-up he was a squishy baby, and we loved him even more.”

Chester is estimated to have been 6-8 years old at the time. His dental care was overdue as he was being treated for an infection and had a few teeth that needed to be extracted.

After a week of healing, Chester felt much better, stronger and was eating like a champ.

“We don’t know how long he’s been homeless on the streets. We can’t tell you what his past story is like. We want to help him write the story of his future.” I want to become

Chester was overjoyed to have a safe, comfortable place to hang out and a bowl of food. “He definitely wouldn’t have to beg to be in his place.”

“When Chester first came to us, he didn’t sleep on cat pillows or beds. He preferred the floor or blankets.” Now he snuggles up to anything soft. I love

Rescue volunteer Crystal Wilbers learned that Chester was looking for a foster home and offered to help. But it was her daughter who made her go head-to-head with the gray tabby.

“My daughter and I saw a picture of him and immediately wanted one,” Ms. Crystal told Love Meow.

Chester stayed in her daughter’s room until she recovered. When ready to say hello to the resident cats Pretty and Cleo, they immediately embraced Chester as if he had always been part of the crew.

Chester really grew up in his new home and they made him part of their forever family. “My daughter wanted to keep him from the beginning.”

Shortly after Chester was adopted, Crystal brought home a pair of foster kittens, Flick and Flak. Chester immediately took a liking to them and decided to become their mentor. He showed them the ropes and taught them how to become cats.

Flick aka Baby was especially close to Chester and followed him around the house.

As adoption time approached, the family realized they couldn’t separate Baby from her best friend. “He would groom her and they would do everything together, so we wanted to keep them together,” Krystal told Love Meow.

Now they enjoy lying under the sunlight filtering through the trees, hugging each other, and watching birds by the window.

Chester loves shoulder riding around the house and looking out the window through the cat tree. “When he saw us pull in (into the driveway), he jumped down and came to the door to greet us.”

“He acts like a mature calm gentleman until he becomes zoomy or realizes you want to play with him. Then he acts like a teenager and runs around.”

“He likes to sleep in our bed. We take turns sleeping in whose bed, but he loves a cozy blanket.”

Chester shows up outside work one day asking for help and now lives the best life with a beautiful family who love him dearly.
