When it comes to adopting a cat, some of us spend months and years thinking about it, considering every possibility, wondering if we can afford it and how we can make sure to make their lives as good as possible. That's some of us. Others… don't get the time to do that. Sometimes, you walk into a shelter, fall in love instantly, and get adopted by the cat of your dreams without ever intending for it to happen. Which is pretty much what happened in this story.

Scrolling through a cat adoption site certainly doesn't mean that you're planning to adopt one. We've done it a million times without the intention of actually adopting, just because we wanted to maybe adopt at some point. And that seems to be what this person was doing, but a cat caught their eyes. The cat with the saddest eyes. And it doesn't matter whether they were intending to adopt or not, they got adopted by this kitty from afar.

Sometimes, you just cannot resist. Some cats steal your heart the moment you lay your eyes on them. And it doesn't even matter if this cat is truly sad or if that's just his face, you took him out of the shelter. That's what matters. Giving this adorable kitty a new, much happier, life.

And yeah, we don't know about anyone else, but we would have had a hard time resisting this kitty too. One look, and we would have fallen in love. We hope this sweetheart wasn't in the shelter too long before finding you, and we wish you both many, many happy years together.
