TGIF, everyone! It's been a difficult week, but we're about to make sure that your weekend starts on the right paw by making sure that it starts in the most purrfect and pawsome way possible. That's right, friends, get ready to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every week, we gather up the newest and most wholesomest cat adoption stories on the web, because they always deliver all the best feels. Whether it's the story of a kitten getting adopted or a gorgeous senior finding the pawfect house to spend its final years in - seeing it makes us so happy.

As we do every week, we want to wholeheartedly thank all those who have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, or will adopt in the future. These beautiful kitties wouldn't have their purrrfect forever home without you. And an extra large and loving shout out to those who adopt senior cats, sick cats or any of those other cats who need a little more care and attention. You are their forever heroes, and we are eternally grateful.
