One extra snuggly kitty is looking for a new home, so this animal shelter shared a video on social media to get the word out! In the heartbreaking post, they explained that Ravi the cat’s previous owners gave him up because he was “too affectionate.” Can you believe that?

In their clip, the animal shelter demonstrated just how affectionate this sweet cat really is. When a staff member opened the door to Ravi’s cage, this precious kitty climbed right into her arms. He then proceeded to cuddle with the human as if he couldn’t get enough love. Ravi even rubbed his fuzzy little face against the woman’s and received some kisses in return!
