All Jacque wanted was a warm lap to sit on, but he was turned away and rejected for simply being a lap cat.

Jacque was three years old when he was dropped off at Michigan Cat Rescue. His previous owner no longer wanted the ginger cat because he constantly sought attention from her.

"All he wanted was a lap to sit on. She didn't want him to cuddle with her and she didn't want him any more," Michigan Cat Rescue shared with Love Meow.

After a year, he was turned away and given up. The ginger boy was confused by the sudden change in surroundings, but as soon as he got to curl up in a warm lap, he started purring again.
