Rescue Story • Cleveland, Ohio
Two Cats, One New Life
Pistachio was a streetwise tiger tabby with a trailer-park cat door and total freedom. Condo life changed everything. He became anxious, lonely, and hidden away. Then Julius arrived: one-eyed, orange-and-white, and built for friendship. Now they wrestle, cuddle, and run the apartment like tiny kings.
The Timeline
How two cats rebuilt confidence through companionship.
1. Freedom Era
Pistachio: trailer-park life, cat door access, independent explorer energy.
2. Hard Transition
Condo move: outside access gone. He withdrew, hid often, and looked stressed.
3. The Cat's Cat
At affoGATO: you asked for a cat who loves other cats. Julius was the answer.
4. Meet + Snuggle
No drama, no standoff. Just quick trust and immediate shared loaf sessions.
5. Daily Wrestling
They burn energy together in healthy play, then crash side by side.
6. Home, Restored
Pistachio regained confidence. Julius found his forever teammate.
