Over our time writing for ICanHasCheezburger, we have come across some extremely memorable cat adoption stories. Like the story of the story of the extremely handsome firefighter who rescued a cat from the rubble in Turkey and went super viral for it, or the story of the person who adopted the senior 'sick cat that no one wanted' and gave it a second chance at life. We have seen many stories like these, and each and every one of them warms our hearts and gives us hope for humanity, but we have never seen a cat adoption story anything like the one that we are covering today.
A cat with gang tattoos that has been living in a Mexican prison with cartel members lost his owner after said owner escaped prison and was caught… got readopted, and this is his amazing, unbelievable story.

"I named him! And they couldn't give him back to his (deceased) previous owner's family because the tattoos are very obvious signs of abuse. His previous owner was a notorious leader of a cartel, I assume everyone knew it was his due to that."
"In order to adopt him I had to provide all kinds of personal information to the Mexican government. So if they wanted to get him they could find me with or without this post or his Instagram :) I knew the risks when adopting him."
