For Dog And Cat, It Was Love At First Sight

  • Fur parents trust their dog Paisleigh’s instincts and adopt a cat.
  • Paisleigh immediately falls in love with a tabby cat named Oliver and the feeling is mutual.
  • Oliver has become an instant member of the family.

You will never know what happens when you bring your fur baby to a pet shop. But for one dog, it was love at first sight for a cat.

During one shopping trip to PetSmart, Kelsey Gilland and her husband went to check if they had cats for adoption.  Fortunately, there were two cats available at the pet store that day.  That is when the magic happened. 

With just one look through a glass, their dog Paisleigh took an immediate liking to one of the cats, Oliver.  And it was not one-way.  There was a special connection between the two.

Gilland recalled, “When I saw the way they reacted together my husband looked at me and said, ‘Babe, it’s an orange cat, isn’t that what you’ve been wanting?’ Everything in me said, ‘YES! Please, let’s take him home!’”

In spite of the obvious fondness between the two, Gilland worried over how their other cats would react to Oliver.  And so, they had to leave Oliver at the store.

But Oliver stayed on Gilland’s mind that night.  She thought that maybe Oliver was meant to be a part of their family judging from the way Paisleigh instantly took to Oliver.

Gilland said, “I thought about that sweet kitty all night long and when I woke … I wanted to go back to PetSmart to see if he was still there.”  Since her husband was okay with it, they went back to PetSmart and even took their own crate as they were really bent on getting Oliver.

With current COVID-19 restrictions, they did not get to meet with Oliver but they trusted Paisleigh’s instincts and adopted him.  And so, Oliver went home with them.

When Oliver reached home, “Oliver came right out of his cage and right over to Paisleigh without any hesitation as if he had known her his whole life.”

Paisleigh licked Oliver over as Oliver purred loudly. The two spent the next four hours snuggling with Gilland before Oliver got to meet the rest of the family.

Gilland’s worries faded as Oliver fit right in.  He instantly blended into the pack.  Gilland and her husband are glad that they trusted Paisleigh’s choice.

Gilland said, “It’s like a match made in heaven.”
