"With lots of work and attention and treats he has turned into a cat that just wants LOVE," Deluca said.

"He has come so far and I am so excited and happy for him."

"Coconut has been through something we will never understand. Being deaf and his eyesight sacrificed living on the streets in Boston. We can only imagine. He takes time to trust. His guard is always up but he just wants to be loved," Deluca said.

"He purrs when he is petted, cries when you leave. It's complicated. But if you are a true animal person you will understand."

It's hard to believe that Coconut is the same cat they rescued a year ago. He's come a long way.

It's amazing what love, patience and a comfortable home can do. It has helped Coconut find love, and he's never going back.
