‘Please Help, I Can’t Bring My Scared Shelter Cat Out Of Her Shell’: 17 Heartwarming Adoption Stories Of Cats Warming Up To Their Pawrents

On Caturday we often celebrate the extroverted kitties out there. The cats that are brave enough to climb on our faces while we sleep, yell at complete strangers for food and sit on and wherever they see fit. However, we often forget about the scared kitties who are yet to come out of their shell and the struggles that their pawrents go through to make that happen. So with this list of heartwarming adoption stories of cats warming up to their pawrents, we give the spotlight to the pawrents who are rouging it on their own this Caturday, still waiting for their cat child to creep out from under the couch.

From the fortunate feline who was scheduled for the eternal sleep who was scooped up by a heroic hooman who read him stories until he came out of his shell, to the feline who was fostered for five years and took another five months to warm up to his forever pawrents, to the fussy feline who was big on personal space when she first moved in with her pawrent but slowly shed the lining of her personal bubbles. These wholesome cat stories are the pawfect partner to a heartwarming Catruday.

Cats are one of the most abused creatures on this planet. Perhaps due to their size and quiet demeanor, they are undervalued and that leads to a number of problems. Which makes adopting a cat a difficult task when you bring them home. The key is patience and these feline pawrents are nothing if not patient.

Sometimes it is not the cat, but the environment that they are in. animal shelters are stressful places for even the calmest of cats. But for a nervous cat, it can be their personal heck. It just goes to show that you can never judge a book by its cover.
