Parken didn’t realize she would fall for the feline friend so quickly but as soon as he wrapped his paws around her she knew it was love. She nicknamed the cat “Clutch” for his clinging behavior.
Parken was Heartbroken
However, when Parken and Brumagen spoke about it, they were heartbroken. They realized with their three-year-old son at home alongside their 19-year-old cat, they couldn’t adopt their new friend. Clutch’s adoption papers revealed that he was not great with other cats or children, reports Animal Channel.
Parken and Brumagen loved Clutch, but they realized it wouldn’t be a great fit for either of them. They knew they had to find the perfect home for him where he would be loved and cherished.
Since They Couldn’t Take Him Home, They Decided on the Next Best Thing
When they realized they wouldn’t be able to adopt Clutch, Brumagen and Parken decided that they would ensure he found the best forever home. Brumagen posted a video of Jessica holding the cat to social media trying to reach out to all their friends and family.
The video quickly went viral when it became obvious how lovely Clutch was. The video demonstrated Clutch’s deep love for people while he nuzzled Parken’s neck and hugged her. The video showed just how sweet this little feline was and it quickly went viral. Everyone in Kenmore fell in love with this sweet cat. When the two went back to the pet store, they saw there was a line of applicants who all wanted to adopt Clutch!
