After 18 Months Homeless, My Cat And I Finally Have A Place To Call Home

By threedaysnish • October 9, 2026

After being homeless for a year and a half, my cat and me are sleeping in our new apartment tonight.

Balou (11) is my baby, I adopted him when he was 5.

When I became homeless I had to give him up or I wasn't allowed into shelters.

So I chose him.

It was a rough year, he got cancer along the way and had to have his tail amputated, and I've been struggling with my own health.

BUT WE FREAKING MADE IT 😭🫂💞

I kept my promise to him and he's finally safe and healthy and happy is his new home.

Thank you for being here with me.
