Happy Friday, everyone, and congratulations for finally making it to the weekend! It's been a tough week, we know. It seems like every week this year gets crazier and crazier. Well, we're here for a break from all that. We're here for some wholesomeness. It's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Each and every week, first thing on Friday morning, we make sure that you wake up to something purely pawsitive - to a bunch of stories of cats finding their forever homes. And we thank you - every one of their adopters - for bringing them to the forever homes that they deserve. And of course, we have to give an extra special thank you to every person who adopted an "impurrfect" cat this week. The senior cats, the sick cats, the cats that have been rehomed for behavioral issues, and every other cat who needs a little more care than most. Every one of these cats is thankful to you, and we are thankful to you as well. You have done an ameowzing thing.

We are just so, so happy to see it every time a person gives a senior cat a home. It happens so rarely, despite the fact that senior cats make such amazing pets. We hope this old lady lives many more years, but however long she may have left in this beautiful life, we know that her retirement is going to be a happy, peaceful one.

Velcro cats are some of the most amazing cats that you can have. Trust us, having your laptop knocked off your lap every once in a while because your lap is your cat's favorite napping spot is going to be so worth it.
