A 12-year-old feline was rescued from a shelter and expressed her gratitude to her new owner by hugging them tightly. The cat’s display of affection was a heartwarming gesture that showed how grateful she was for her second chance at life.

Freya, an elegant feline who was already 12 years old, found herself wandering the streets alone one day. She was eventually taken to a pound, where she waited for someone to claim her. Unfortunately, no one came forward to take her home. Fortunately, Best Friends Felines, an animal rescue organization in Brisbane, Australia, was made aware of Freya’s plight and immediately stepped in to assist.

Upon hearing about Freya’s situation, Michelle Cummins, owner of the soon-to-be-renamed STAN Pet Beds (formerly Henry Hottie Pet Beds), decided to offer her assistance by fostering the cat through Best Friends Felines. Michelle was struck by Freya’s disheveled appearance and knew she had to help.

“I just couldn’t bear to see her looking so alone and out of place,” Michelle explained. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of animal rescuers like Best Friends Felines and compassionate individuals like Michelle, cats like Freya have a chance at finding a forever home and receiving the love and care they deserve.

Freya, a feline who was discovered wandering on the streets, was saved from a pound and brought to Michelle’s home for temporary foster care. Within an hour of her arrival, Freya eagerly snuggled up to Michelle on the couch, purring contentedly. Despite the fact that Freya had been living in a cold, frightening pound for several weeks, she exhibited remarkable friendliness, which was heartening to Michelle.

Upon her arrival, Freya quickly warmed up to her new foster mom and began showering her with cuddles. She seamlessly transitioned into the family dynamic and filled the home with her gentle purring. In no time at all, Freya became a beloved member of the household, bringing immense happiness to all those around her.

Michelle was devastated after losing her dear dog, Stan, when Freya entered her life and immediately found a place in her heart. Freya’s gentle embrace and adoring gaze helped heal Michelle’s broken heart, earning her the title of a heart mender.

Michelle Cummins shared her joy of feeling love again and giving Alice, the resident dog, a partner in crime with the arrival of Freya. Despite being 13 years old now, Freya is still young at heart and often bursts into bouts of playful energy, scampering around like a fast floating cloud with her adorable little legs. Her personality is sassy, sweet, funny, confident, and full of love.

When Michelle Cummins enters her office, her furry friend Freya usually follows and quickly takes over the spot on the chair, like a true queen. Freya loves to show off her fluffiness by rolling on her back and basking under the sun. She is friendly towards everyone except the chickens in the yard. However, she has a special affection for Michelle, and will cling to her arm like there’s no tomorrow.

Freya is a feline who loves to give tight hugs to her human, earning her the title of “velcro cat.” Michelle was feeling unwell due to a cold when Freya showed her love and care by staying with her, comforting her with her soothing purrs and warm embraces.

Michelle Cummins recounted her experience of being a foster parent, but something different happened when she met a certain child. “I could never let her go once we met,” she said. From the moment she arrived at the designated location, Michelle knew it was forever. She wasn’t sure if her dog would get along with the child, but to her surprise, they got along instantly.

When Freya arrived at her new foster home, Michelle Cummins knew right away that the sweet kitty had found her forever family. Despite being 13 years old, Freya still acts like a playful kitten and has brought an abundance of love into their lives. Michelle is absolutely smitten with her new furry companion.
