The bond between Alan and the cat deepened with each passing day. Alan, once hesitant to open his heart again, felt it swell with a renewed sense of purpose and connection. The cat’s bravery and gentle nature had tugged at the old man’s heartstrings.
As the cat recovered and got ready to be discharged, Alan knew he couldn’t part with it. He spoke with the vet, expressing his desire to adopt the cat, and the vet wholeheartedly supported his decision. Alan signed the adoption papers, feeling a joy he hadn’t known in years.
