Chocolate Chooses Her Person

Dec 13, 2023

It's said that the pet chooses the person and we agree that's true. But seeing it happen in real life is still amazing to see.   

“I was doing a showing of the kitten room to this woman who was looking for a male cat initially," says Victoria Anna, PAWS volunteer. "But Chocolate, a female, immediately took to her, started meowing at her and climbed up on her. After a couple minutes of bonding, she decided Chocolate was the right one for her."

Victoria moved onto her next adoption appointment, and the adopter—Anastacia Lora— left the room to do her adoption counseling. But Victoria continued to watch this special connection from afar. 

“Anastacia came back to check in on Chocolate through the window while she waited for the adoption counselor, and Chocolate noticed her and ran up to the window and started mowing loudly again. The person who I was in the midst of doing the showing for started tearing up, and I did, too!” says Victoria.  

Today, Anastacia and Chocolate are best pals, and Chocolate is thrilled to have a loving, adopted home.  

“She is so great...and very spoiled by me. She waits for me by the door when I come home, and she talks to me in the morning when she wants her food. I love her! Thank you, PAWS, for trusting me with her,” says Anastacia.
