Happy morning, cat people! And welcome back to the cutest, most wholesome and heartwarming thing you will see on the internet this week - a collection of adorable cat adoption stories. These are the most wholesome stories that we could find, stories that people like us cannot help but smile at. That is right, it is time to meet the newly adopted cat faces of the week!

Every single Friday, we bring you a brand new collection of adoption stories like these ones. Because we want to finish every week on the right paw, and smiling first thing in the morning is the best way that we know how to do it. As always, we want to say a huge thank you to every single person who adopted a cat this week and any week beforehand. And of course, an extra large thank you goes to everyone who adopted sick cats, cats with behavioral issues, cats that have been rehomed in the past. This is one of the best decisions that you have made in your lives, we promise.

Yes! Thank you! Finally, people are starting to phrase this sentence correctly. That's right - it is not you who adopted the cat but the cat who adopted you. And you need to understand that. You need to be thankful to have been chosen.

These are the kinds of humans that we love the most. Sure, you thought that you were getting one cat, but you ended up getting five? Well, who said that was a bad thing? In fact, it seems like a great thing to us. Five times the cats means five times the purrfection.
