Viral pet profile of sad, depressed cat Fistopher leads to adoption

A “very sad and depressed” cat who found himself at a New Jersey adoption center now has a forever home after a social media post sharing his picture and profile went viral last week.

You might chalk the feline’s good luck to that, coupled with the fact his Petfinder profile may be one of the most, well, depressing posts anyone has ever read.

“Fishtopher is not a fish out of water, but he is out of sorts at the shelter. He is very sad and depressed and will only eat when he has company,” the profile written by Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center begins. “Fishtopher was found as a stray, maybe he is missing his family. He wouldn’t even look up for pictures, but did enjoy his one on one attention, and getting chin rubs.”
