When this family first started fostering Grasshopper, they quickly noticed there was something special about him. Unlike other cats they had fostered, Grasshopper was a bit more unsteady on his feet. Curious about his condition, they took him to the vet, where they learned that while Grasshopper does have a condition, it doesn’t impact his quality of life. He’s just a bit wobbly, but otherwise, he’s a perfectly normal cat. Grasshopper soon caught the attention of their one-year-old dog, Hippo, who immediately took a liking to him. Within weeks, the two became inseparable.
Despite his wobbliness, Grasshopper was always confident and unafraid, fitting right in with his new environment. Hippo, with her nurturing nature, seemed to be drawn to Grasshopper, and their bond grew stronger by the day.
As time passed, the family found themselves falling deeper in love with Grasshopper. Although they hadn’t planned to adopt another pet so soon after bringing Hippo into their home, the connection between Grasshopper and the entire family was undeniable. Even the partner, initially hesitant, couldn’t help but notice how attached Grasshopper had become to everyone.
Seeing how much Grasshopper had become a part of their lives, it was the partner who suggested they officially adopt him. Grasshopper became a permanent member of the family, much to everyone’s delight.
The National Park Service has a plan to potentially euthanize up to 170 feral cats under the guise of nuisance control. Demand a policy that protects these cats!
Now, Grasshopper spends his days happily snuggling with his family, including Hippo, who remains his loyal companion. Despite his wobbles, Grasshopper has found his place, proving that sometimes the pets we foster end up being the ones we can’t let go.
