She and her family went to the rescue to meet their sweet ginger boy for the first time, and they were absolutely smitten with him.

Jacque crawled right into his human dad's lap, buried his face in his arms and held his hand while purring up a storm. It was as if he knew that they were there to take him home.

"Jacque is loved, spoiled and finally in his forever home with Liz and her family," Michigan Cat Rescue said.

"We are so happy for him."

Jacque quickly settled in to his new abode, made his way onto a warm lap and did what he loves most – lots of cuddling.

"He's doing very well and we just love him so much. He has a fur brother who is a little older that he has become quite close to," Liz said.

"The grand kids have met him and my soon-to-be 3-year-old grandson just sits and pets him and hugs him. He calls him Joe."

Their story spread far and wide, inspiring others to embrace the unique qualities of their own feline companions. It served as a reminder that love knows no bounds, and that even those who are rejected for their quirks can find a place where they are treasured beyond measure.

And so, this special cat, who was once rejected for being a lap cat, found a family that adored him and couldn't stop cuddling him. Their story reminds us of the power of acceptance, the joy of unconditional love, and the extraordinary bonds that can form between humans and their beloved feline friends.
