21 Wholesome Cat Adoption Stories for a Pawsitivity Day: 'Adopted 2 hours ago and I'm already the side character in my own house'

If we could, feline fam, we would adopt all the cats. All of them. Every single one. Whether they were born from a breeder, surviving on the streets, or caged up in a shelter. We would even adopt all the mean ones (they're usually mean for a reason). If money were no object, we would buy a huge plot of land in the middle of nowhere and bring in rescues until we had a giant cat sanctuary where cats could live peacefully and snuggle with us whenever they wanted.

However, money is an option, so we'll have to rely on all of you heartwarming hoomans to go out and help us adopt all the kitties in need. This week, we found some wholesome stories of people adopting cats, kittens, and even senior kitties! Each one is purrfectly awwdorable and collectively cuddle-worthy. Enjoy all of these happy felines in their new furrever homes, and have a great weekend!
