    Here is my sweet girl Pumpkin. I was working a random morning shift at the Dollar General in a very, very small town and as I was ringing a customer out I noticed the automatic doors open and in walks cat. I was so beyond confused and after I finished the transaction as quickly as possible I went around to find the cat and my manager to tell her that a cat had just waltzed in the front doors. We found her and tried to give her some wet food but she wouldn't eat and she was cold and very dirty an

    This is just too much wholesomeness to handle in one go but we are going to try to collectively keep it together. This is one of those examples of when cats just seem to know that they are needed, or better yet of when the universe brings together two beings that desperately need one another, and they meet and their lives are transformed for ever more.

    • Avenger717 • 7mo ago ⚫ Edited 7mo ago Saw our girls eyes glowing in an alley one night and I said "c'mon" and she came trotting up to us. Knew the wife was allergic but we were keeping her feed and hydrated when we noticed she was looking a little preggers. One day when I came home from work she was wandering around the living room. The Mrs. couldn't resist and now get regular immunotherapy shots and the cat is fat and happy! Edit: not pregnant anymore. Gave us 7 that we found homes for. Now s

    laurwar21 ⚫7mo ago Was a first semester vet tech student. We spay/neuter all program animals. However, during one routine spay on a cat, vet found a growth in her mouth. Removed it, sent it to the lab. It came back malignant cancer, likely to return and very likely to kill this cat and soon. The cat had an estimated 3 months to live. People who were going to adopt her at the end of the semester backed out because they didn't want to see her die. I, having never had a cat on my own, agree to take

    Sometimes the universe does some wacky things, but curing a cat from cancer because it found its rightful home has got to be one of the most outlandish and heartwarming things that it has ever done. It just goes to show that when cats are in your life, the sun shines upon you and there is no taking that for granted.

    hislittlelady711 ⚫ 7mo ago Prince was my husband's cat. My husband rescued him from a shelter after he was found living in a trailer park. Started dating my husband a few months later and slowly, very sneakily, made him fall in love with me so I could have his cat. It worked. Husband moved in and cat is now mine 155 ↑ Share

    COMPUTERANDY ⚫ 7mo ago I was looking for a bonded pair of adult cats online, I came across a local rescue with a pair named Sobek and Bast, and I had been playing a video game where the main character I used was named Sobek. I was also listen to an audiobook course about the history of Egypt. That was enough of a sign for me and I picked them up that weekend. Ironically I didn't love the names after a day or two, so I renamed them Max and Nala 152 ↑ Share fuckyourguidlines • 7mo ago Assassin's C

    Pyrocantha • 7mo ago I lost my orange manx bobbi in October of 2018, and was heartbroken, thought I would never adopt another cat. My friend was going to adopt a cat at the local shelter and asked me to go with her, I reluctantly agreed. While we were there this orange doofus(Dean) reached out of his cell and tangled his claws into my hoodie and yelled at me. While I was trying to extricate myself his grey brother(hank) kept swatting at my hand to "protect" his brother from me. Eventually, with

A woman heard kitten cries, shut her car off and followed them to the car behind her. He was found at the top of the engine. Finder took him to her work where a friend of mine also worked and he was then brought to me. He was maybe a week old so one of my bottle babies.

The fishtanks were along the back wall, and also on the side wall facing the fishtank aisle in the back corner was an adoption "nook" from a local shelter (those four cubicle with catbox cubbies between them things, we've all seen them at some point). The tanks were labelled that they were under quarantine so we couldn't buy any fish, but while we were there reading the sign my girl (we've named her "Catherine the Great", she go

    Malingo ⚫7mo ago Ginger came into the vets I worked at as she refused to eat at the shelter.Many expensive tests later and the conclusion was, no health issues, she's starving herself for attention. Home she came. Loki and Mani were feral kittens I trapped. I homed their sisters but Loki was immediately mine and Mani stayed so terrified of people that I though we would have to release her and provide food and shelter outside.2 years later she is my biggest cuddlebug.

    KittyTitties666 • 7mo ago Boyfriend at the time took our other cat to the vet for an appt. This stinker was in a crate with several other kittens who were all abandoned in a box at the vet's doorstep. She reached out of the crate and snagged his shirt when he walked by so he had to have her. Despite cute kitten I was not stoked because the boyfriend was irresponsible and I knew I'd get stuck with extra cat costs and care, and our existing cat was very skittish.

    Liu1845 ⚫7mo ago Scrolling on Reddit and saw a plea from a foster mom. A lady was supposed to pick up a bonded pair but had backed out. She wanted two tabbies, and they were a tabby and a tux. My best friend and roommate and I had just been talking a few days before about her getting a tabby and I wanted a tux. I answered the post, and the foster mom was in Chicago. We are 50 miles north. Kismet. Picked them up New Year's Eve Day. Now they live their best life every day. Meet Lucky & Zorya.
