Quilty has become a beloved figure at the Friends For Life shelter in Houston, Texas, thanks to his adorable habit of liberating his fellow cats from their well-appointed room. However, this penchant for playing the feline version of Robin Hood has landed the clever cat in hot water, as the shelter staff has had to put him in “detention” to keep him from opening the door multiple times a day. Nevertheless, Quilty remains a plucky freedom fighter, protesting his confinement with aplomb. In order to outsmart him, the staff has temporarily removed him from the room and made it “Quilty-proof.” Despite his brief setback, we have no doubt that this delightful little rebel will find new ways to assert his independence.

He frequently expressed his dissatisfaction with being put back in his cell, and his sour demeanor was often so unpleasant that the staff nicknamed him a “spicy A-hole.”

The outpouring of love and support has been amazing. But, did you know that Quilty has a history of misbehaving? In his previous home, he would frequently open the doors and let the other dogs in. Despite being a repeat offender, we can’t help but adore him even more because of it.
