Twitter Thread: Adopting Pregnant Cats And Wholesome Stories Of People Keeping Their Babies Too

There is nothing quite like the feeling of rescuing a cat - giving them a warm home, a place they can feel safe in, an environment in which they feel comfortable enough to turn around and show off their floofie belly. These stories of rescuing street cats or abandoned cats often start with the humans saying "oh, we'll just keep it for a while until we find it a home", and then, almost as often, those cats choose their humans, and said humans get attached so hard, they absolutely cannot let go.

Now, what happens if said cat that you rescued is a pregnant cat? If a pregnant cat comes up to you and asks for help… it's impossible to say no. And then you get attached, and then the kitty gives birth, and then you have approximately 5 kittens that you also get attached to. Some people give those kittens away, find them homes, but not this person. This person decided to keep them all.

Personally, we think that this is legitimately a heroic thing. Keeping a family together, giving all of them a home… taking care of 6 cats is difficult from every perspective - emotionally, spatially, and financially as well. We are thankful to you, we really are, and we hope that more people with opportunities like these take the path that you've taken.

We agree - it really is a rare thing, and that's why we felt the need to showcase this even more than other stories. We also love that this one person's story prompted others to tell theirs as well - to encourage more people to do as they've done. We are thankful to all of you guys.
