Feline Foster Family Rescues Purrfect Puma Kitten Outcast By Zoo, Give the Wholesome Big Baby a Second Chance at Life and Love (Video)

Hey I Can Has-ers, we hope you're having a purrfectly ameowzing day. If not, happiness is only a few scrolls away! We've all succumbed to the cuteness of a foster fail before. We always say we're going to give them up, but we know that in the end we're going to fall in love with them and keep them in our homes. One family, however, adopted a kitten with birth defects, but this wasn't any ordinary kitten, it was a baby puma! They adopted this wholesome big baby into the warmth of their homes and gave him a second chance at life and love.

The puma "Messi" had birth defects, and was going to be put down by the zoo. This feline foster family decided to scoop him up, take him back to their home, and try to give him the best life pawssible. Needless to say, we are extremely jealous of the kitty snuggles that this big, fluffy baby must give, but we'll leave the pumas to the professionals.
