Jarvis P. Weasley, a 5-year-old adorable moggy, has an impressive story to tell. Although he now looks happy and spoiled, that wasn’t always the case.

The cross-eyed cat was abandoned by his owners on the side of the road when he was only four weeks-old, says Daily Star.

Luckily for him, he was rescued by Oakland Animal Services in California and ended up at Saving Grace Rescue. He was later adopted by cat-lover Daria Kelly, who was volunteering at the animal center.

“Jarvis came in a cross-eyed, snot-nosed, squinty yet adorable mess, but sadly kittens with an upper respiratory at a government shelter do not last long,” said Amber Holly, one of the veterinary technicians at Saving Grace Rescue.

Although Daria only meant to take him in temporarily, Jarvis' joyfulness and enthusiasm convinced her to keep him as a permanent member of the family.

Just as memorable as Jarvis’s facial expression is his name. The adorable pet was named after glasses-wearing Pulp front man Jarvis Cocker and ginger Harry Potter character Ron Weasley.

He may have a lazy eye, but he is happy and absolutely loves life, that's why it's really hard not to fall for him. He's adorable with that dopey-looking expression on his face.
