Monte, a talkative shelter cat, was found as a stray in the San Diego State University parking lot. He was searching for someone to love him. Taken in by Smittens Rescue, who quickly made it their mission to find him a forever home. This is Monte’s story, that of persistence, kindness, and finding a place to belong.

Monte was known for his friendly and needy nature. Anna Brown, director of Smittens Rescue, described him as a cat who loved being held and demanded full attention from his humans. His constant chatter earned him the nickname “Constant Contact” from his foster mom. Monte loved to be pet and talked to anyone who would listen.
The Adoption Event

To help Monte find a home, his rescuers took him to a local adoption event. Monte did his best to impress everyone. Generally meowing at every passerby. Despite his efforts, Monte was the only cat at the event who did not receive any applications or interest. He continued to meow at people outside the venue, trying hard to find a family.
A Social Media Success

Firstly Monte’s friends at the rescue refused to give up. Secondly they posted his story on social media, hoping to reach a wider audience. The response was overwhelming. People from all over America, and even one person from India, expressed interest in adopting Monte. In total, he received about 40 applications. The support he received was unexpected and heartwarming.
