This Week’s Heartwarming Helping of Newly Adopted Cats for Fresh Feline Pawrents (October 4, 2024)

The only thing better than Friday is a Friday with our weekly segment of adopted faces! Let's be honest, it's been a crazy week, and we so deserve some pawsitivity in our lives, and we cannot think of a single thing that can do that better than all of these cats finding their furrever home.

Every single Friday morning, we bring you a new collection of the cutest cat adoption stories of the week. Because crazy as our week might be, we need our weekend to start on the right paw, and that's exactly why we bring you this segment consistently.

As we do every week, we want to say a big heartfelt thank you to those who recently adopted, have adopted in the past, and will adopt in the future -- we love you guys. And of course, an ultra-mega shout out to those who adopt senior pets or pets that require more attention and care, you guys are their forever heroes, and we are thankful.

"So happy to have him. We adopted him from the shelter. He's just under 3 months and had his surgery last week. Has anyone had good luck with a small foam staircase for your blind kitty to get into and out of bed?"

"Can't wait until it's his turn with the brain cell… This is Charlie. A stray for 9-10 years, he tried one home but the other cats bullied him and he was very nervous. Now he's with me and I'm hoping to give him a forever home."

"He adopted us"

via Stawberrrybimbo

"Hi! On the night of June 12th this adorable lil guy walked into our garage! Not chipped, no collar, not fixed, and no one next to him. Me and my husband decided to keep him! We named him Binx, he looks about 6-9 months old and he will be getting his first round of shots this weekend. I've never owned a cat and I already adore him. Also, can anyone drop any tips on how to introduce a high prey driven dog to him? My dachshund hates cats unfortunately but we're willing to work on it"

"like the title says. i've grown up with cats my whole life but when i was around 11 we adopted a dog that instantly became my best friend and emotional support animal. it wasn't until moving into my first solo apartment and adopting a cat to serve as my emotional support that i truly fell in love with the animal…"

"My bonded pair that I adopted last summer is not only adorable; they have the best personalities, so different from each other. I wasn’t sure if they’d be so close as they aged, but they are. I’m lucky to have them in my life."

"The cat distribution system gave us wee cow kittens in our garden shed"

via umm_s

"Coming up 3 years ago, my SO and I were sitting on the porch when I spied a wee black and white kitten lurking around our garden shed. Told my SO "I'm going to get that cow kitty," to which he said, go for it. Ended up with 4 wee babes plus their momma. Adopted out one brother and sister to wonderful cat people, momma to another a couple who had a docile old doggo who always wanted a cat friend (momma is queen of that house), and kept a brother and sister to add to our cat menagerie. Brigadier Alister Gordon Lethbridge Stewart (aka Stewie), and his sister Ace McShane - Stew is the middle cat on the first picture, and Ace is the far right."

"Just adopted these two maniacs"

via vstormborn83

"Adopted these two brothers after they were dumped in a box by the side of a road. They are the cutest, funniest little guys, and our older tuxedo boy and tabby girl are getting used to them clambering all over them and being insane! We've named them after two wrestlers, not realising it would be prophetic! Please meet Edge & Christian"
