Many cats unfortunately have a hard life. Hercules was found at a rest stop with 47 other cats. When rescuers arrived, Hercules slipped away but was found a month later, drenched in urine and suffering a severe jaw fracture.

Fortunately rescuers operated on him and nursed him back to health when a woman adopted him. When an animal talent agency put out a notice that they were looking for unique cats, Hercules’ new owner submitted Hercules and he got a job as a model for Target. Hopefully this modeling job will lead to future opportunities to prove you should never give up on a cat.
