Tweets About 'Impurrfect' Cats Getting Adopted For Anyone Who Needs Something Pure And Uplifting To Give Them Faith In Humanity Again

There are some days… when the news are too overwhelming. Everywhere we look, something is happening, and everything is overwhelming. On these days, we kinda feel hopeless about humanity. And it's exactly on days like this that we need something to make feel better - something pure and uplifting that will restore our faith in humanity. And that's exactly what we have for you here. We promise that by the end of this listicle of the most wholesome cat adoption stories, you will feel ever so slightly better about the world.

So many cats out there need forever homes, and so many of them get skipped over because they are "impurrfect". Whether it's sick cats getting adopted or if it's senior cats finally finding their forever homes, each and every one of these stories is special to us - because it's about people taking in an animal who needs them, needs their help, and they're doing it knowing that the journey might be the longest or the easiest, but that it will be worth it.

    Font - Catturd TM @catturd2 Subscribe I was at a job in Shreveport Louisiana 10 years ago. I was actually staying at a campground just across the state line in Texas. Someone at the campground had a little sickly kitten they were trying to give away. They told me they didn't think she would live. She was in such bad shape. I told them I'd take her. I was there another 6 weeks and kept her in my little cabin I was renting. She was so sick and had the worse stomach and was stinking up the place so

    We love so much about this story, but we have to say that our favorite thing is the name of the cat. Pootie - purrfection. We can imagine that this name reminds you - every day - both of the amazing thing that you did to save this cat and the silly, stinky, precious furball that you helped them transform out of.

    Font - Louise Simpson @LouiseS22708842 ... OMG You're as bad as me. I purchased an under-weaned kitten off a reputable site 10years ago. I nursed him back to health after reporting the sellers. I made such a fuss, they implemented stricter rules. He was my life. I lost him through illness, but have two rescued cats and two dogs. Looking for another kitten now. 4:55 AM.

    It's this kind of people that we are the most thankful for. So many people wouldn't blink twice at an animal in need, and from the people who do, so many wouldn't go this far to help the animal - they'd try, and that's worth something, but they probably wouldn't make such a fuss. But people like this… you're the kind of people who truly give us hope for humanity.

    Font - Marlo Franson @MarloFranson ... How cute. I just saved my upper floor roommates cat. He kept it in his room for 3 days and the wound on his leg seemed ok when I saw it. A week later he looked like a bomb went off for a wound. They called me what should we do. I said take him to the vet. The next day I took him to the vet. I'll be taking him with me when I move next month since they did not pay a dime of the $900 it cost to save his leg. Nice cat. 6:34 AM. Aug 20, 2023 174 Views

    Font - Riley Jane Meli @oldwomaninwoods I don't live far from that area. The only cat I ever wound up with was Stray Serial Killer Kitty John Wayne Gacy Sir. He got his name because he insisted on burying dead things under my cabin for the nearly ten years he was with us. This was the pic of him when he first showed up one evening just as it was getting dark. The dogs and I barricaded the door. He was possessed. ...

    Font - Jericho @JerichoXVI : She looks just like my rescue cat Angie, who would run and hide whenever she heard paper being wadded up or just a newspaper rustling. We figured someone rolled one up and smacked her around. We had her about ten years, and we could never convince her that we wouldn't hurt her. People are cruel, and fur babies are much better to be around. 3:47 AM. Aug 20, 2023 1,565 Views

    Font - PALIC MOGOSONICUT SoulPhilosophy @SoulPhilosophy Annie ... Awww, so touched by that story. Our current cat (we adopted 3 older cats & one is left now), has similar issues. If she hears us raise our voices in celebration or whisper in a hushed tone, she hides. I'm certain she was not treated well by someone. We adore her. 4:30 AM. Aug 20, 2023 785 Views
