‘She acted like I was her human she’d known forever’: Heartbroken adopter arrives to bring home her soul-cat, only to learn the shelter gave her away despite calls, emails, and hours of bonding

Adoption is tricky business, you can never quite tell what is going to happen. For some it is the surprise that the animal their intended to adopt is not the one who spoke to their soul in the end. For others, it is the too late realization that they have unwittingly brought home an agent of chaos who will massively depreciate their house's value.

And for some, like the lady in this story, it is the purely painful missed opportunity to bring home what she oh so rightful calls her soul cat. While this is not to say that their life would have been purrfect, the cat could have turned out to be super clawminal and used emotional manipulation to coerce and unwitting hooman into bringing them home. But the circumstances of this story truly highlight the harrowing experience of a person who found a soul connection in a cat.
