25 Cute Cat Caretakers Convince A Maine Coon Maniac To Go From Shopaholic To Adoptoholic With Heartwarming Stories

We've all heard the term 'adopt, don't shop', but what does it really mean? There are lots of cats out there in the world, each one of them deserving a good home. We hold no judgment for people who buy their cats from breeders, but it's not really like it is with dogs where each dog breed has a different kind of temperament. All cats are just cats, just some are floofier than others. When you pay for a pedigree, you're mostly paying for an aesthetic. Don't get us wrong, we love ourselves a fluffy Persian cat, but there are lots of homeless kitties who are just as cute that need your help too!

One cat pawrent took to Reddit to ask people's thoughts and opinions about adopting vs. shopping because they really wanted to get a Maine Coon. The response was overwhelmingly pawsitive towards finding one or a similar one for adoption, and they did it with love. You should probably get some tissues ready for after all these heartwarming adoption stories!

Look at the variety of colors on this standard issue cat - you could never get this kind of beauty from a breeder! Yes, Maine Coons and Abyssinians are beautiful cats, but the breed doesn't affect their purrsonality so much. They're all still cats on the inside!

We have our own purrsonal opinions on breeding animals in general, but we'll save that for another time. All of our cats came to us through the cat distribution system, AKA they found their way to our front porch and we adopted them. Cats can choose you, also!
