Happy meowrning, cat people! Congratulations, you have finally made it to Friday! A tiny bit more to go, and you will be free and celebrating Caturday in its full glory. All you need to do now is make sure to start this Friday on the right paw and head into the weekend with some pawsitivity. It's a good thing that it's officially time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every single week, we start your Friday morning with a brand new collection of the most wholesome cat adoption stories of the week. Because if there is anything that can make any cat person happy first thing on Friday morning, it's seeing a bunch of kitties finding their furrever homes.

As always, we want to say thank you to every person who adopted this week or in the past. And an even biggest shout out goes to those of you who adopted the "impurrfect" cats - the senior cats, the sick cats, the cats who have been rehomed or who have behavioral issues. We wish you and your new family members many, many happy and healthy years together!

Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to start your Caturday with the funniest felines on the internet!

"Please don’t overlook the older cats when adopting"

"He found his home with me 2 hours ago. He's an older cat who's owners fell ill & could no longer care for him. When the volunteer told me he's been there a long time & that they don't get many calls about him, I knew I had to give him his forever home. Please when you go to the shelters. Don't overlook the older cats. They need love & a life outside of a cage & a place they can feel at home, just as much as the next cat or kitten. Again,if you're adopting, please consider the older cats too."

"Just got approved to adopt! First time cat owner - am I missing anything I should prep before I pick him up?"

via u/sh*tty_millennial

"I'm so excited! I get to pick him up on Tuesday. I've never owned a cat before but have been doing a ton of research. He's an f3 Savannah.
I still have rugs and a Litter Robot coming in the mail. I also have a bunch of pads/hanging beds/etc coming that I plan to Velcro to the shelf so he can use it as a jungle gym. The water to the bathtub is shutoff. I removed all chemicals from the bathroom and have child locks ready to install. Is there anything else Im missing?"

"My boy Wilson looking like a convict and labelled “caution” by my city’s animal services department vs a year later after I fostered then adopted him"
