Happy Friday, friends, and welcome back to the cutest things you will see on the internet this week. Yes, the cutest. And we that's a high bar. But purrsonally, we cannot think of anything cuter and more wholesome than a bunch of cats getting adopted. That is right, you guys, it is officially time, once again, to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every single week, we put together a whole new collection of the cutest cat adoption stories we could find on the web. Kittens, senior cats, sick cats and every other feline that was looking for a home and finally found one - they're all in here. And of course, like we do every week, we want to give a huge shout out to each and every person who adopted a cat. And an even bigger thank you goes out to everyone who adopted the sick cats, senior cats, rehomed cats and every other feline who had lower chances of getting adopted. You did a meownderful thing - for them and for yourselves.

"Adopted this boy at 3 years old no one wanted him cause of his crossed eyes, hunts better then our other cat who has no eye issues."

It amazes us, the things that make people skip out on adopting cats. Him being cross-eyed is not a deficiency, it's a quirk, it's something that makes him unique and beautiful. Even if he wasn't a great hunter, even if he was clumsy as heck, we would take him with open arms and so much love.

via big-slay
Thank you. People who adopt cats out of bad situations are some of the best people. You never know the exact extent of what the cat went through, but you know that there is trauma, and you know that they will most likely need a little more love than most. Taking them in is a blessing - for them and for you.
