A cat blossomed remarkably after she was rescued at 22 years old. Now, she chases the sun and hogs the bed.

At 22 years old, Thelma the cat ended up at a shelter in desperate need of rescue. Her owners could no longer afford her care and had to surrender her. Members of Best Friends Felines (BFF) were contacted about her situation and knew they had to help.

"Our heart broke when we heard of her plight and our heart melted when we saw the photos. We all know BFF has a real soft spot for the seniors," the rescue shared. "We knew she needed to live out her life surrounded by love and in a home."

Thanks to the power of social media, the sweet torbie was saved that day. A foster volunteer of the rescue stepped up and welcomed Thelma into their loving home.
