Short Stories Of Cats That Left Their Hoomans With No Choice But To Adopt Them

Hi, friends! Happy Caturday! How is everyone feeling today? Any special plans for the weekend? While you decide on your weekend itinerary, we thought we'd bring you a wholesome little listicle to warm your hearts and inspire your souls. There's no denying that we're suckers for a good ol' adoption story. There's just something about the 'from rags to riches' narrative that's incredibly satisfying. Most of these stories have a sad beginning with a neglected and/or abandoned cat or kitten. They go through abuse, and lack of food, and basically have to fight for their lives on the streets. 

But while most of these stories have a sad beginning, they also have a happy ending where the cat is rescued by a prince or princess hooman and is taken to its furrever castle. But then again, that's not always the case. Many times it's actually the cats that end up finding their own hoomans. And that's exactly what we have in store for you guys today! We hope you enjoy this collection of short stories about cats finding their homes.

    "…They passed my contact info to the previous owner who was relieved to hear Mr Cat was ok but wasn't able to take him back due to a change in living situation. Which worked out for me, because he is NowMyCat. Previous owner brought me all his vet records and cat trees and gave him a hug."
