3 weeks after adopting the sweetest stray kitten, her owner finds the kitten's brother in the same spot they found her, and immediately decides they cannot be separated: 'Of course, this happened on the day I told myself to stop searching'

In the cattosphere, here on the internet, we have a specific term to describe pairs of cats that simply cannot be separated. We call them bonded pairs. Because that is what they are. They may be siblings from the same litter or simply two cats that have bonded strongly throughout their lives. Cat owners know this, internet cat aficionados know this, shelters know this. That's why a lot of shelters refuse to separate bonded pairs.

Now, if a bonded pair does get separated, for whatever reason, it is part of your duty to bring them back together. Because without one another, they are not the same, they are not as happy, they will never feel quite complete. We know what it's like to lose someone. Let's not let our cats feel the same way if they don't have to. Make the effort, like the person in this story did, and we promise that, just like in this story, the payoff will be so, so worth it.

Now, this is how we want people to handle adopting stray kittens. Make sure that the momma is not there waiting for them to come back, then go back and look for siblings, because if one got lost, another one might have as well. And this person truly searched.

Thank you for taking the second kitten in as well. It would have been so easy to separate these two, especially with as many cats as you already have, but you didn't, and it's clear that you didn't for good reason. And you deserve all the credit in the world. Thank you so much.
