Tenant Finds Cat Living In The Same Basement She Was Abandoned 20 Years Ago

When you look at the New York skyline, you realize that a lot of people live there and the building are all different. Each building offers its residents a unique style or a special service (like concierge services). Video editor, Anita Diamantopoulou, moved to the Big Apple earlier this year and found what she thought was an ordinary building in midtown Manhattan.

But once she moved in, she realized that it was far from ordinary! Anita’s neighbors told her that there was a special guest living in the basement of the apartment building.

Anita knew she needed to meet this person and walked down to the basement.

The mystery guest wasn’t a person at all it turned out to be a small gray cat!

Being an animal lover, Anita went back upstairs and got a bowl of food.

The cat had been nicknamed “Granny” and Anita learned that she had been living in the building for 20 years!

Granny had been abandoned by her original owners many years ago but stayed in the building.

Anita took Granny home – she wasn’t about to let the cat live one more day all alone.

The first few days, Granny stayed in the bathroom, it was as if she didn’t know that there was more than just one room to live in!

Maybe it was that Anita was used to living in the dark, cold basement. Slowly Granny adjusted to life and started to explore Anita’s apartment.

Life is now much better for the senior cat! Share away, people.
