And he has no shame.<\/em>\u201d The animal shelter wrote in a now-viral Facebook post last month.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FFriendsForLifeHouston%2Fposts%2F10157943193687112&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"725\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The unruly 6 years old cat is named after a character in Vladimir Nabokov\u2019s book \u201cLolita\u201d. He was originally born in the shelter but was returned a few months ago after his adopter had to move and could not take him along. And so Quilty came back to the shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after his return, Quilty began his nightly prison break activities.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe would come in in the morning and have to collect all 15 of the cats who had had a blast during the night,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jennifer Hopkins, the spokeswoman for Friends for Life told CNN.<\/p>\n<p>A review of security footage showed the culprit was Quilty, who would jump up and pull the handle down on the door. Three times, he managed to free himself and the dozen or so other senior cats. This led the staffers at the shelter to put him in \u201csolitary confinement\u201d in the building\u2019s lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures of the cat soon erupted on social media after the shelter\u2019s Facebook post which shows Quilty looking forlorn in the lobby to which he had been banished.<\/p>\n<p>A #FreeQuilty movement kicked off on social media through an Instagram account created (by the shelter) for the cat, @free_quilty. His fan base grew larger thanks to the shelter\u2019s frequent updates of his antics.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The shelter had his face on shirts and stickers and began selling black #FreeQuilty wristbands. They also held a mock news conference on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to the latest update by the shelter, Quilty is now on a sleepover (a one-week \u201ctrial\u201d period where a potential adopter takes an animal to their home to see how it\u2019s going to work out). Here\u2019s the latest update received by the shelter from his adopter:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cHi! I just wanted to give you a Quilty update! He is doing really well. He hasn\u2019t tried to hide at all and loves to be in the bed or on the couch snuggled up with one of us. He sleeps under my covers with me like a dog lol. He doesn\u2019t really like the 2 dogs but they leave him alone so there aren\u2019t any problems really, he just doesn\u2019t want to have anything to do with them. I am hoping with a little time, he will get used to them. He hasn\u2019t shown any slickness at all yet; he is the most loving and affectionate cat I have ever met!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('init', '247107802609931');\n\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v4.0\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shelter Cat Sentenced To Solitary Confinement For Jail-breaking Other Cats.
