Shelter's saddest cat gets adopted... and you have to see the smile on his face!

Nutmeg the stray cat was rescued in September of last year, and taken to Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, New York. 

Nutmeg had a rough go before being rescued. He was found emaciated, his ears were damaged and he was suffering from a nasal infection.

Not to mention he had sadness written all over his face.

"When we first met Nutmeg, it seemed as though he might be the saddest cat in the world," Paige Doerner, communications specialist at the shelter, told The Dodo.

Staff knew that what Nutmeg needed most was a forever home.

Sadly, Nutmeg would have to wait.  9 months passed by and the orange kitty started to give up hope.

Then the purrfect family came in and it was love at first sight!

"Nutmeg was adopted by a young couple who fell in love with him the moment they saw his face!" Doerner said. "The adoption counselor who facilitated Nutmeg's meet-and-greet with his new family said that they were so excited about Nutmeg, and just couldn't wait to take him home."

A few days later, Nutmeg's family shared a photo of their new pet at home — and the smile on his face says more than words ever could.

"We just loved the photo that his new family sent us with Nutmeg's little smile!" said Doerner. "Everyone at the shelter who knew Nutmeg realized just what a sweet, special kitty he was — so seeing him relaxed, happy and loved in his new home was really the greatest reward of all."

"We know that they will have so much fun with their new feline family member, and we hope that even more people will chose to adopt and start their own story with a shelter pet," Doerner said.
