Wholesome Series Of Cute Cats And Kittens That Adopted Their Hoomans And Didn't Take No For An Answer

We write a lot about some wholesome adoption stories from the human side, but what about kitties that adopted their hoomans? All of these adorable cats and kittens found their hooman and didn't let go in the most heartwarming way. And by heartwarming, we mean they were unreasonably cute and we didn't have the willpower to say no. One way or another, these kitties found themselves a furr-ever home, and we couldn't be happier for them.

Come with us a journey that will bring a tear or two to your eye (and maybe a giggle) about all these hoomans who were adopted by their illegally cute cats. Some wandered right into their houses, some they found on the street, and one of them even climbed a tree to get inside! Scroll down to have your heart warmed with these wholesome cat-ecdotes, and may the cat distribution system grant you a beautiful baby sometime soon.

    This little fellow showed up all alone in my back yard last Thursday night. I heard his cries. When I found him he walked right up to me. No hesitation. His tail straight up. His name is Possum.

    Hi Possum! Aren't you the cutest little thing that ever existed? We're so glad you wandered into the backyard because we couldn't imagine leaving you out there on your own. We hope you like your new furrever home and grow up to be big and strong.

    Imagine you're sitting outside on your porch/balcony on day, and you see a tiny kitten just staring at you from a tree? Then, upon closer inspection, there's not one kitten, but two kittens! What else are you supposed to do except take them in and make them comfortable?
