"Husband went to pet store for dog food, adopted cat."
"Title is self explanatory. I had forgotten to get dog food on my way to work, so my husband went to pick it up when he got off. I got cat pictures of the kitties waiting for adoption. Cue the awww cause I love cats. This little lady kept pulling him towards her every time he got close. He called me and was like I know you've been wanting to add another cat to the family. He thought he was getting himself a cat, she hid until I got home. She came right to me and plopped down on the couch next to me. He said well, I guess I got you a cat. She is long and dainty with tiny paws and green eyes with a tiny raspy meow to match. Still deciding a name, as all of our cats have had halloween or horror names."

"Just got thanked for adopting a small cat and now I’m sad"
"I just adopted this little baby, and named him JiJi because Kiki's delivery service is my favorite movie.
When I arrived at the foster home the woman taking care of him congratulated me because apparently black cats are rarely adopted.
That surprised because they are so cute, chill and also love when I can just see their little eyes."

"Meet Diego - not the prettiest, but surely knows how to pose"
"Adopted him a month ago :) He's 5 months old now and was taken to a foster care with other ~10 baby kittens from one of my city suburbs where stray Scottish fold cats were hiding. One of his eyes is left permanently foggy as a residual effect from cat flu. As he was raised in a very loving foster care since 3 weeks old, he knows his way around other cats and humans, and is extremely loving and friendly."

"Meet Oggy: My first orange"
"Hey everyone! Meet Oggy, adopted this little girl from a friend. She's about 2.5 months old. It's been two weeks and I think she already likes me. I'm blessed. I am her only companion most of the time. However I have a 9-6 job because of which I have to leave her alone for about 10-12 hours, after returning I make sure to spend time playing with her, she's super active. Do you guys think she'll be okay staying alone for long hours?"
