After the cat lost his home, he quickly bonded with the people who opened their doors to him, becoming their constant companion throughout the day.
A 10-month-old tabby cat named Venture found himself homeless after his owner was evicted, leaving him behind without food or care. Little Wanderers NYC, a rescue organization, stepped in to save him from ending up on the streets. Ventured showed his friendly nature and gratitude, hoping to find a new forever home where he can be a cherished house cat.
When he was saved, he was extremely gaunt and malnourished. Nora, the person who rescued him, welcomed him into her home for the night and was touched by his kind and gentle demeanor. Delighted to have a new companion, Venture snuggled up to her and eventually fell asleep.
“He purred and nuzzled her hand as if she was the most wonderful thing in the world to him. He loves to chat but also snuggles up right next to you.”
He was hesitant to eat alone. Nora recalled how Venture was thin and fragile when he initially came, avoiding his food unless someone accompanied him. “He only ate when there was someone by his side,” Nora told Love Meow. “He always wanted to be close, following you around like a little velcro baby. The first night he arrived, Venture snuggled up and slept on me.”
Venture snuggled up next to Nora and quickly drifted off into dreamland. “We usually pay attention to cats that are unwell or injured, but Venture would have struggled in a shelter environment. He is just too sweet and sociable to fend for himself outdoors. He absolutely loves being around other friendly felines and is always eager to make new friends,” Michelle shared. When Michelle saw a post seeking a foster home for Venture, an experienced foster caregiver, she immediately knew she had to open her doors to him.
“He had dreams of becoming a velcro kitty,” Nora shared.
“He seemed like a great match for us – we already have our own male cat who enjoys having other friendly males around, so it felt right,” Michelle revealed to Love Meow.
“When we first brought him in, he was very thin and underfed. His fur was shedding in patches, most likely from stress and not getting enough to eat.”

Even though Venture initially seemed a bit nervous and unsure in his unfamiliar surroundings, underneath his tough exterior was a kind and gentle spirit. His cautious eyes showed a deep desire for affection.
“We spent time sitting with him, patiently feeding him meat baby food and treats until he felt comfortable enough to eat. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to us, and he became so friendly that we were able to introduce him to our resident cat after just a few days. By the end of the week, he was confidently exploring our home as if he had always been a part of our family.”
Venture settled in comfortably to his new foster family with Michelle. In just a short two weeks, he has already put on some healthy weight, and his once shedding coat is now shiny and smooth.
“He’s such a sweetheart who craves cuddles and human company. Venture is quite vocal, wandering around the house, having little meow conversations with anyone who will listen. He’s perfectly content to be held for as long as you want and doesn’t fuss about being picked up. Once you settle him in your lap, he’s there to stay.”
He loves to be around his humans, making cute sounds with his meows and chirps. Michelle Venture’s favorite toy is a fish-shaped catnip kicker, which he carries around like a treasure. He sticks by his owners, moving from one room to another as their devoted and affectionate companion. He cuddles with them, making happy noises and sharing stories of his adventures throughout the day.
Venture and his beloved toy, Michelle, are inseparable companions. There is nothing Venture enjoys more than snuggling up in bed with his loved ones and staying by their side throughout the day. His heart is full as he embarks on a fresh and exciting adventure, filled with love and optimism, thanks to the caring individuals dedicated to providing him with the happiest life imaginable.
