'Adopted an incredible cat and feeling so guilty': Grieving cat owner rescues friendly feline from animal shelter, then discovers that her previous pawrent was forced to give her away

Every cat has their own unique story, feline fam. Some were born from purrfectly floofy Persian cats and have only ever known tuna, treats, and the spoiled indoor cat life. Others were born behind a dumpster and lived on the streets until some wholesome, heroic hooman came and rescued them. The shelter cat you saw last week was given to the shelter because their pawrents moved away and left them behind. What we're trying to say is, each cat has a past, but that's not something we can change - we can only focus on the future we can purrvide for them. 

After their beloved cat passed away, one purrfectly sweet cat owner went to the shelter to adopt a new baby to love. They took their new baby home and immediately bonded with them, until she learned that the cat's previous pawrent was forced to give her fur baby away. They then got into a moral dilemma - do they keep the cat they currently love, or try to reunite the two? Scroll down to see what happens below!
