It's Time To Meet The Newly Adopted Faces Of The Week: 20 Wholesome Cat Adoption Stories

Gooood meowrning, cat people! Friday is finally here. We only have a little bit left to go until Caturday will bless us. Just one more day. And we should really start this day on the right paw. It's a good thing you're here then, because it's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

There is no better way to start any day than with a collection of wholesome cat adoption stories, but it's especially impurrtant on Friday. That's why we bring you this segment every single week - to put smiles on your faces and to help you get through this day strong.

We want to say a huge thank you to each and every person who adopted a cat this week, and an even bigger shout out goes to everyone who adopted a senior cat, a sick cat, a rehomed cat, and every other "impurrfect" cat who might just need a little more love and care than most. It's the best decision you all have ever made, we promise you.

"This is my baby Doj (I named her Doja Cat, but she just became Doj/Doji). She is all white with blue eyes, and she's not deaf (I hear most blue-eyed white cats are). She was on a euthanasia list in Kentucky but an Illinois shelter rescued her and she found me! She's unlike any other cat I've ever met; I really believe she's my soulmate cat."
