I had just moved into my first apartment with my boyfriend at the time. A year before we lost our family dog at my parent’s house. We had him for 14 years and I was devastated. I couldn’t look at another dog without crying. I always had this hole in my heart ever since.
I worried about money and only had a beta fish, but after the fish died, I decided that I needed to fill that hole. So I looked up cats on petfinder and found a beautiful gray cat named Trinity.
That weekend, after my boyfriend convinced me, we went to go see her. When we met her though, we had no connection. I felt terrible and didn’t want to look at other cats, but begrudgingly did.
I felt like I was breaking a promise for Trinity but it just didn’t feel right. They took us into another room with a bunch of cats. My boyfriend sat down and up jumped this white and gray cat. He didn’t really catch my attention until I sat down next to my boyfriend and he lay in our laps together.
The lady said that was not something he ever did. Sherman came home with us that day.
I am convinced he is the greatest cat in the world. He is so chill and loving and he just lets me smother my face into his furry belly. He has helped me so much with my depression and has filled that void in my heart. I’ve been having lots of downs with few ups ever since moving out on my own and I am sure that if it weren’t for him I’d be in a worse state of mind.
A few times on my latest move I thought about giving up, but all I had to do was look at his sweet face and remember he needs me as much as I need him.
