This 3 Legged Cat Has Stolen The Hearts Of TikTok Users Everywhere With The Story Of How This Woman Came To Be His Owner
A three-legged cat has stolen the hearts of TikTok users everywhere after his new owner shared his origin story.
A woman on TikTok who goes by ‘Cathy’s Cats’ (@kittyloveclub) shared the story of how she and her husband took in a sweet neighborhood kitty named Pep who needed some extra love.
“My husband and I bought a new house, and as we were moving in, there was a very friendly three-legged cat that kept coming up to us and meowing,” says Cathy in her video.
“We were told by the neighbor that he was sort of the neighborhood cat and that the people who lived here before us used to feed him.”
Cathy and her husband then decided to split the cost of cat food and supplies with their neighbors in order to keep the little guy fed.
Cathy then spoke with the previous owners of the house to find out more about Pep and how he lost his leg.
As it turns out, Pep grew up in a cage with his siblings. One day, a raccoon came by and “got a hold of his leg,” ripping it off. Poor thing!
Thankfully Pep was taken to the vet, and although he lost his leg, he was able to live.

The young woman who owned Pep at the time ended up having to leave for college, so the previous owners of Cathy’s house offered to take care of him while she was away.
“Well, over time, he kind of became their cat,” explains Cathy in her video.
“But when they moved to their new house, they decided not to take him with them even though they had taken care of him for years, and he was microchipped and everything.”
Cathy then explains that when she and her husband bought their new house, they got a free cat!
“We like to tell people that he just came with the house,” says Cathy at the end of her video.
The touching story of Cathy and Pep went viral on TikTok, with her video receiving over 200,000 likes.
“I couldn’t imagine leaving him behind,” commented one user. “Glad he found you.”
As Cathy says in the comments, Pep now has his “forever home.” We’re so glad!
