Guy Finds the Best Cure for Sadness In the Form of Tiny Shelter Kitten

He needed Hope and Hope needed a home!

 It has been proven that adopting a pet can help people with depression and alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness. A National Center for Biotechnology Information study found that spending time with animals can boost the hormone oxytocin. Sometimes called the “cuddle chemical,” oxytocin increases pet owners’ sense of well-being.

TikTok user @Wannabehousehusband found this out firsthand when he visited a shelter and met a kitten by the name of "Hope."  Watch this sweet video to see how she spends her days now.

We just love that these two found each other! @user5414105651722 posts, "Isn’t it great that they can make us feel so much better? Hope she brings you joy." Aww, and her name is Hope too! @GenExTypicalHorrorfangirl says, "Cats and music are the best therapy." @Jessicacanobuilt comments, "Cats make everything better. The more you get the better you will feel." That is so true!

Animals do so much to improve our moods and enrich our lives. Here's hoping that this new cat dad and his beautiful kitten have many wonderful years together boosting each other's spirits!
