Dolly Purrton, a 3-year-old black-and-white cat, spent 136 days at the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society before being adopted. The shelter had noted that she was their longest resident, a title she held until a carrier finally carried her home.

The shelter’s social-media campaign kept Dolly’s story circulating, hoping the right person would see her. After 136 days, the shelter announced that Dolly had been adopted and thanked everyone who helped keep her visible.
