Ever heard of a cat with a rap sheet longer than his tail? Meet Quilty, the feline Houdini of Friends for Life animal shelter in Houston. This clever kitty wasn’t content with just napping and purring – he had a mission: to liberate his fellow senior cats from their “cozy confinement.”
Quilty, a quick learner, figured out how to open doors by watching the staff. Soon, he was on a door-opening spree, turning the shelter into a feline playground after hours. It was all fun and games until the humans decided to put Quilty in a “time-out” kennel.
But Quilty wasn’t having it. He escaped – not once, not twice, but five times! He wasn’t running away, though. He’d often just follow the staff around, as if to say, “Hey, I just wanted to say hi to my friends!”
His antics earned him the nickname “spicy a**hole” from the staff, but the internet fell head over heels for this mischievous rebel. People rallied on social media, demanding “Free Quilty!” and calling him a hero.
Turns out, Quilty’s been a door-opening aficionado for a while. He used to let his family’s dogs into the house when they weren’t supposed to be in. But hey, who can stay mad at a cat with such good intentions?
Quilty’s charm and persistence eventually won over a loving family in Texas. His new mom says he’s settled in well and is quite the snuggle bug. She calls him the “most loving and affectionate cat” she’s ever met.
So, there you have it – the tale of Quilty, the cat burglar with a heart of gold. He may not be a purrfect angel, but he’s found his happily ever after, proving that even the most rebellious cats can find their way into a warm embrace (and an open door).
