Twitter Thread: The Importance Of Adopting The Unconventional Cats

Picture this: you're at the animal shelter, trying to pick out a new pet cat to adopt and love forever, and you immediately spot a cute and very photogenic kitten. It's so easy to just pick the very first cat that seems perfectly health, right? Now, as cat owners, our first reaction to any cat is "adopt it, love it, such a cutie pie!!!" But... what about the poor souls that no one wants to adopt? Welp, in Twitter user @elle_em's case, the cats that no one wants to adopt are the most important ones to take in, if you can of course.

Elle took to twitter, and of course, and what is twitter going to do other than chime in with their own opinions? It seems that the kitties that no one wants, the old, sick, or otherwise abandoned ones, are the ones who need our love the most, and who can be very loving in teir own wats. All that we know is that every cat seems much more happy in life after finding their furever homes. And also, if this kitty just chose a human for themselves, who are we to argue?

What would you say in response to this opinion? Personally, here at I Can Has Cheezburger we 100% support this sentiment. If you can do this, then please consider adopting a lesser-wanted cat, they can be such sweethearts and 100% worth it for you as well!

We're always happy to see little guys like the ones who are missing a leg or an eye getting the love that they deserve. We hope that, if you have one of these cats, he or she is as happy as can be.
