Family goes to the shelter looking to adopt a dog, comes home with rambunctious tuxedo cat that swiftly conquers their hearts

Hi there, loyal ICanHasCheezburger readers and fellow feline enthusiasts! We proudly consider ourselves cat people—not because we don't love doggos (we absolutely do), but because we believe cats perfectly embody the mix of silliness, charm, and wholesome goodness that humans need in their lives every single day. That's why we've heard countless stories of families heading into their local animal shelters fully intending to adopt a dog, only to have their hearts stolen by a mischievous, fluffy feline. 

Such was the case in today's featured wholesome adoption story. The original poster (OP) set out to adopt a dog but instead found themselves captivated by a particularly rambunctious tuxedo cat. With his undeniable charm and just the right amount of feline attitude, this little guy worked his magic and secured himself a forever home. We're absolutely swooning over this unexpected love story. Get ready to fall in love with this charismatic tuxie and his heartwarming journey from shelter to sofa!
