Happy meowrning, everyone, and welcome back to the cutest thing you will see on the internet all week. This is one of our favorite segments to write, because it is just so full of pawsitivity and wholesomeness. It makes us happy to make it, and it makes you happy to read through it. Because there is not a single cat person out there who would not smile at a whole bunch of cats finding their furrever homes. It's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week, everyone!

Every single week, we bring you a whole new collection of the cutest, newest cat adoption stories on the web. And every single week, seeing these felines find their homes brings us so much so, so every single week, we say thank you to you guys - to each and every person who adopted. And as always, an even bigger thank you goes out to everyone who adopted the "impurrfect cats" - the senior cats, the sick cats, the cats that have behavioral issues, and every other feline who needs a little more care than most. You have done an amazing thing, and we wish you all many happy and healthy years together.
