Adopted Cats That Were Returned To Shelters For The Most Foolish Reasons: Bittersweet Thread With Happy Endings

If there's one thing about us - we can never just pass by a rescue story, no matter how sad or heartbreaking it is. Because the thing about rescue stories is that at the end of the day, the cats do get rescued and do find forever homes. So as depressing and miserable as the story may sound in the beginning, remember that it will get better. Maybe just not right away. Maybe just maybe, the cat has to overcome a few more obstacles before reaching its final destination.

And that's exactly what today's Twitter thread is about. Someone posted a photo of a black cat that was returned to the animal shelter for being too cuddly. Can y'all even believe that? Fellow cat people rushed to share photos and stories of their own felines that were returned for the stupidest reasons. Pardon our language. But at the end of the day, everything seemed to work out for these cats and if you really think about it, those other humans didn't deserve to have cats in the first place.

"I was sad to read one that said that the two kitties were at PetSmart because the parents got divorced and neither wanted them. :-( We adopted a senior kitty that the owner said they didn't have time for her anymore. She sleeps in my bed and likes to be tucked in."
See what we mean about the whole happy ending thing?

"These two were returned because their previous owners were having a baby. We adopted them from a nearby Petco one month after they were returned. Best decision ever."
Thank you for being the best hooman ever! Sounds like destiny to us
