Uniquely Heartwarming And Unexpected Adoption Stories (Twitter Thread)

Every adoption story is wholesome, that's just fact. Every single animal that gets a forever home is something that we celebrate and love. But goodness, some adoption stories hit us extra hard. Like stories of people changing their minds and adopting a senior pet at the last second or stories of cats adopting humans, just choosing them like they were always meant to be together.

Today, we have discovered another kind of extra heartwarming animal adoption story - the unexpected adoption. This collection is full of the kind of stories that are almost hard to believe - pets disappearing and then being found in shelters, pets who ran away being found completely out of nowhere by their owners. Your heart will not just be 'aww'ing reading this, it will be gasping with joy as well.

We remember reading this story when it first came out, and honestly, it is just as amazing to read about now as it was then. This must have been the most joyous moment in the world, and not just for the owners but for the dog as well. We are so, so happy this family was put together again.

A true Christmas miracle. We assume, from the positivity of this tweet, that the cat was brought back home. And we really, really hope that the two of them lived a long and healthy life together after going through such an adventure. Keep an eye on your furbabies, people, it only takes a second for them to slip away.
