Meet Gelato—a soft orange tabby with a heart full of love and a soul that’s been bruised but not broken. Formerly known as Sherman, Gelato has been adopted twice—and returned twice. The first time, in less than 30 days. The second time, after thinking he’d finally found his forever. Now he’s back at the shelter, confused, heartbroken, and still clinging to the hope that his person is out there.
Gentle, affectionate, and incredibly sweet, Gelato is the kind of cat who just wants a calm place to rest his head and someone who will really mean it when they say “forever.” He’s been through more than most shelter cats ever should, and yet his love remains unshaken. He doesn’t need much—just consistency, kindness, and a warm lap to call his own.
