'I don't want to let him down': First time pawrent faces adoption fears to help fluffy feline find his furever home; wholesome cat community lends a helping paw

One hesitant hooman shared the most clawsome story about how she became a pawrent and our hearts can't handle it.

Chili is a 10-month-old kitty who found himself in a tough spot. Adopted to keep an older cat company, Chili turned out to be a spicy boy who didn't mesh well with his fur-sibling (pawsibly due to a ruff kittenhood). After months of hissteria and stress, his current owner realized she needed to rehome him for everyone's sanity, including Chili's.

Enter our reluctant catventurer. She'd always wanted a cat… in theory. But with full-time job and Chili working best as an only child, doubts started clawing at her confidence. Having a cat is a lot of responsibility and what if she couldn't give Chili the love and attention he so deserved? 

But this lil' floof was already leash-trained, knew how to give paw, and, most importantly, completely stole her heart.

So she took the leap. Now they're figuring out the whole cat parent thing together, and it's purrrfection in progress. Sometimes, the best things in life come with whiskers and a little chaos.
