If the list light cat shelter had an ending similar to the IDW comic's ending, it would go something like this:
Rung unexpectedly pulls out all the stops, and manages to get all of the cats adopted out! Unfortunately, you can't have a cat shelter with no cats, so the Lost Light is forced to shut down. A few notable fates of the kitties:
Drift and Ratchet get adopted out together. However, Ratchet sadly passes away not long after. He dies in a warm, loving home with Drift by his side.
Tailgate and Cyclonus get adopted out together, and live quite happily. For a long time afterwards, Whirl the goose can be seen loitering around where the shelter used to be. He seems sad and confused about where everyone went. One day, however, he appears in the yard of Cyclonus and Tailgate's new owner, and refuses to ever leave after that.
Rodimus is adopted by Thunderclash. Thunderclash loves him and gives him all the best treats and toys, but he has no other pets, and he often works long hours. Rodimus eventually becomes depressed from the crushing loneliness, his spark completely gone.
Nautica becomes the star of a pet blog.
Chromedome and Rewind are adopted together, however Rewind develops a degenerative disease that eventually leaves him blind. Chromedome spends long hours grooming him after he can no longer groom himself.
Swerve is adopted, surrendered to a different shelter, and then adopted again.
Ultra Magnus' new owner renames him "Minimus Ambus," and brushes him regularly, so he no longer appears as massive as he once did. As it turns out, the newly christened Minimus Ambus is not so grumpy when he isn't drowning under mountains of fur.
Ravage goes away to college and isn't heard from again for a very long time.
I said that all of the cats were adopted...but I lied. One cat simply couldn't find a new home. Unfortunately, the shelter can't stay open just for a single cat, so Megatron was transferred to the only shelter that could take him - a pro-euthanasia shelter. As he is handed over, the shelter worker there says that they don't know how long they'll be able to keep him - they'll try to find another no-kill shelter that will take him, but it's just as likely that they will have to put him down. No one ever finds out what became of him.
The reason Rung suddenly decided to make a big push to get all of the cats new homes? He himself has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. He wanted to make sure all of the cats had a place to call home before he was no longer around to take care of them. When he eventually dies, the world doesn't seem to notice. An obituary in the newspaper is the only sign that marks his passing, which reads: "The world may forget him, but the cats he saved never will."
Hey so this broke my heart into five bajillion pieces can you cut that out /lh
This has been living in the box for a while and I didn’t know if I wanted to let it out, but I feel like it would be a shame to keep it to myself.
As I keep writing more and more for the Cat Shelter AU, it’s hard to choose what kind of “ending” i want for it, if it would even happen. We all want the adventure to go on forever, right?
In the end, I decided I wanted to make a happier ending for the kitties. However, if the ending did go with the one that happened in the original MTMTE comic, it would probably look a lot like that.
