We're purrfectly thankful for all of the wholesome hoomans who go out of their way to rescue homeless street cats. Who knows how they got there, or why, but we here at I Can Has Cheezburger firmly believe that every cat deserves a warm, safe home to live in, no matter how old or feral they are. We spend our days combing through heartwarming adoption stories and each one touches our feline-shaped hearts in beautiful ways, but especially the ones where the family gets to stay together. 

Many times, kind people will rescue the kittens and not the momma cats. But if that's the case, then the momma will probably keep having babies on the street, and that doesn't solve the problem. Today's hooman was able to rescue the whole fluffy family, and they fell in love with them at first sight. Especially one of them - the "black sheep" of the family. As a fellow "black sheep" family member, we can relate to this adorable outsider, but we can assure you that they're just as loving as the rest. Scroll down to read the rescue story below!

  • All of our brothers and sisters also look different than we do. They all have fair skin and blonde-ish hair, whereas we have darker skin and nearly black hair. Quite literally the black sheep. People always used to make jokes about us being adopted, but we paid them no mind. We loved our uniqueness, and it helped us be the strong, compassionate purrson we are today!

  • We're waiting for an update from this wholesome hooman hero, but we secretly hope that they kept them all. When the cat distribution system works overtime, you have to start making some adjustments. If the universe wants us to have four cats, then by golly, we'll adopt all four cats.

    katiehatesjazz • 22h ago I years ago I was looking for a white cat for a companion for my black cat because we had just moved to a new city/new apartment. The adoption place put me in touch with a postal worker who was feeding stray cats on his route, and one day this mama cat was gone & left her 3-week old

    was gone & left her 3-week old white kitten behind. Turns out he was deaf and didn't hear everyone move on or something, so the postal worker took him home, but he was highly allergic & couldn't keep him. I picked up Merlyn and he was my buddy for 19 years
