Chunky shelter cat has been ‘let down’ twice by people. He just wants to be loved

Usually, when a pet is adopted, it should be for forever. But a black cat in Ohio hasn’t let being surrendered twice get him down, but he’s ready for someone to love him for the rest of his days.
By no fault of his own, Leviathan, a 2-year-old domestic short hair mix, has been surrendered twice to the Ohio SPCA in Lima — once as a kitten, then the second a while after he was adopted by a family.
“He was adopted and with a family for almost a year, and then returned, again to no fault of his own,” Ohio SPCA representative Rebekah Wolf told McClatchy News.
While this can be sound daunting, the shelter refuses to give up on Leviathan.
“Many people have let him down in the past, but he still tries to remain hopeful. This handsome, chunky panther does well with other cats and people of all ages,” the shelter said in an Oct. 8 Facebook post.
“New places can be scary at first, but give him time to adjust and he’ll be your second shadow. His beefy appearance is the cutest contradiction to his adorable, high pitched meow.”
It’s easy to be smitten with Leviathan’s gentle face and piercing eyes in his photo.
He is neutered and house-broken, his pet profile says.

Lima is about a 90-mile drive northwest from Columbus.
