He's the one I want: quirky cat catches the eye of internet users

By Elodie Carpentier

Over in the US, Reese is a ginger cat with a big personality. Behind his grumpy little man expression lies an extremely curious and affectionate little creature who has finally found his forever home.

A heartbreaking return to the shelter

The story of Reese, a ginger cat, began in Illinois when he was taken in by Orphans of the Storm, a shelter in the northern suburbs of Chicago. He was quickly adopted and spent nearly five peaceful years with his first family.

Unfortunately, due to a change in his owners' circumstances, the cat was returned to the shelter.

It was a setback that could have easily unsettled him, but the charity's team, who were delighted to see this extraordinary resident again, immediately rallied around to give him a fresh start.

Even after being left once more, the clever cat kept his wonderful personality. At the shelter, Reese quickly became the team's mascot, thanks to his endless curiosity.

A quirky look that won hearts

However, Reese has a slight physical quirk: he has crooked teeth. To boost his chances of finding a home, the shelter shared his story online to try and find him a new family.

The appeal did not take long to work. One family fell completely in love with his quirky personality. They didn't hesitate for a second despite his protruding canine tooth and permanently disgruntled expression, deciding to adopt him for good: "Someone saw all of that and simply said, 'Yes, he is exactly the one I want,'" the charity shared happily.

Today, Reese is happily settled in his new home.
