Happy morning, cat people! And TGIF. Soon, this workweek will be over, and Caturday and all of its meowgic will be upon us. But first, we have to get through this Friday, and we want to do it with pawsitivity. That's why we are here. Because nothing fills us with wholesomeness more than meeting the newly adopted cat faces of the week!

Each and every Friday morning, we bring you a brand new collection of the cutest cat adoption stories on the web. We scour every corner in search for the best ones, the most heartwarming ones, because smiles are in order on a Friday, and nothing makes us smile more than seeing kitty cats find their furrever homes.

As always, we also want to say a huge thank you to the people who adopted this week. And an even bigger, warmer thank you goes out to everyone who adopted sick cats, senior cats, rehomed cats and every other cat who needs a little more care than most. You have made the best decision of your (and their) lives, and we wish you all many happy years together.

Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to start your Caturday with the funniest felines on the internet!

Every time we see a story about someone adopting a cat like this, it warms our hearts so, so much. People don't give these kinds of cats chances very often, no matter how much they may deserve them, so when they do, we're thankful. And we know that you are not going to regret a single second of this decision.
