'Before and after adoption': 23 Cutest Cat Adoption Stories of the Week for a Pawsitive Day

Gooood morning, people! And it is a good one. Not because the rest of the week has been good. That doesn't matter. It's because we are going to start this morning in the most pawsitive way possible and make it a good one. That's right, it is officially time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every single Friday morning, we bring you a whole bunch of new, heartwarming cat adoption stories - so that you could start your last day of the week on the right paw. And it works. Every time. Because not a single cat person can't hold back from smiling when seeing a bunch of kitty cats find their forever homes.

And like we always do, we want to give a huge, huge shout out to each and every person who adopted a cat this week. And of course, an even bigger thank you goes to everyone who adopted a senior cat, a sick cat or any other feline who needs a little more love and time than most. We wish you all the best time with your new best friends!

We don't think that we have ever related to a person more than this woman. She is us. We are her. This is going to be what we do when we get to retirement age, just going around adopting as many senior cats as we can so that we could live out our retirements together. We love her. So much.

This is what a little love and attention and time can do. They can change an animal's life. If you're debating taking a cat in, this should be your reason for doing it, not anything else. It's know that it's not only your life that will improve but their life that will be changed forever. Adopt, friends. Adopt.
