At a local veterinary hospital in 2015, Tiér was "evastatin-ly abanned" by his former human, and he was "yin" for love. Nichole and her brother were also looking for a companion to accompany her 6-year-old cat at the time. They didn't anticipate finding another cat because they already had one, but Tier's story on the Castle Neighborhood Facebook page successfully melted Nicle.

They decide to bring this 21-year-old feral cat home from the Twin Cities Veterinary Hospital because they want to provide him the care he needs.
