Cruel Family Tells Shelter To Kill Their Cat And The Reason Infuriates The Whole Room

Every animal has a unique personality. And sometimes, that personality doesn’t gel with the owner(s).

This happens all the time, which is why shelters and other adoption centers take great care when they place homeless animals in new homes.

And of course, all pet owners should be patient, understanding, and respectful.

But sadly, this doesn’t always happen.

This is Odin, a gorgeous ragdoll cat who was very nearly put down because he was given an unfortunate label.

The owners believed Odin had an “attitude problem;” they thought he was just way too over-the-top energetic, so they brought him in to be euthanized.

Honestly, that was the reason. It didn’t have anything to do with an actual physical or mental issue; no, it was merely because Odin was a kitten.

Kittens will be kittens, right?

But this family just couldn’t deal with that fact and came to an incredibly harsh decision…the only question was, would the shelter agree?

Thankfully, the answer was a big resounding NO. As Odin’s new mom, Alaina, told The Dodo.

The shelter was appalled at the idea of someone wanting to put down a kitten just for being a kitten.

Instead, the shelter took him at that time.

At the time Odin came to the shelter, it was obvious he’d been neglected and possibly abused.

In fact, the reason why poor Odin now has only one eye is because he’d had a terrible infection that just couldn’t be healed.

Thankfully, the instant Alaina saw this beautiful animal with one eye who supposedly had an “attitude problem,” she fell in love.

It was so upsetting to hear what he had dealt with, and the love he needed going forward.

We decided to adopt him and bring him into our family.

And guess what? Odin and Alaina are a perfect match!

He loves to sit near a window and scan the outside world, and he also likes to hop in the shower with Alaina. A little odd, sure, but hardly an “attitude!”

It’s too bad that some people are so quick to pull the trigger when animals don’t behave the way they THINK they should behave.

Luckily, however, the animal lovers at shelters aren’t about to end a poor creature’s life unless there’s a darn good reason!
