“Jade’s heart is Broken,” read the social media post. Jade was in the cat colony room of HSPPR when an adoption specialist put a cat carrier in the room.

“He crawled in and prepared himself for the ride home, but unfortunately, it was for another cat,” said HSPPR. He refused to leave the carrier and was very upset he was not chosen that day.

HSPPR later updated the post to say a family had adopted Jade as soon as they saw what had happened!
