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. Scroll down to read the full story and see the video below!

    Well, that's it - we're officially in the market for adopting a baby puma. Yes, we know that they are large animals that should not be kept as house pets. But, but, but….if not friend, why friend-shaped?

    scaredofmyownshadow 5h ago • Before people start hating on this, here's some important context on the situation: This is Messi, he was born with congenital birth defects and wouldn't. survive on his own. His current owners adopted him from a zoo that was going to euthanize him. The owners built a sanctuary and have since brought in other animals that need rescue. They live on a large property in Russia with enough room for all the animals they've rescued. He's full grown now and as mature as he
