Young boy falls in love with "stray" cat who visits him daily; vet finds his microchip and reveals he's been abandoned for almost a year, so his new family fights landlord to keep him: 'He is the greatest cat I've ever had'

Stories like these are why we both love hoomanity and also think that most of it should be thrown in the garbage with yesterday's tuna.

The good news, feline fam, is that this story has a purrfectly happy ending. The kitty below has expurrienced both the best hoomans and also the worst ones. They've seen what happens to cats when people don't care about them, and they've also seen what true love looks like. We hope their rough days on the streets are finally over!

They thought he was just a neighborhood stray, but he wiggled his way into their hearts, especially the heart of the family's young son. They had daily play sessions in the yard, but they noticed he kept getting thinner. So, they took him to the vet, and it turned out that he actually belonged to someone. Thus began this family's fight to adopt this cute kitty. They fought with the previous owners, and then with their landlord. But in the end… we think it was all worth it.
