Meet Apollo.

Back in May 2015, Apollo was rescued by Michigan Cat Rescue.

Apollo was meant to be euthanized, but Michigan Cat Rescue president Nancy Hutchinson couldn’t bear for it to happen.

After spending some time at the shelter, Apollo developed a terminal upper respiratory infection.

His eye ruptured inside his head, which called for an urgent medical procedure to save Apollo.

With one-eye, Apollo had a hard time finding a family that would take him in with all the love he deserves.

According to Hutchinson, a lady saw Apollo at an adoption event and said that he was ugly. “I truly believe that he understood her because he put his head down. I could tell that he felt bad and it made me cry.”
