Newly-adopted cat escapes his owners and adopts a different human, he fairly offers to buy the cat from the original owners, but they abandon him instead, letting the man keep him for free: 'He's such a sweetie'

We have said it a million times before, and we will say it again - cats adopt their humans, not the other way around. Time and time again, this has been proven. Cats showing up out of nowhere and adopting a human, even humans who "hate cats" or "never wanted cats". Cats jumping in front of cars and demanding to be adopted right there, in the middle of the road, leaving their humans of choice no choice at all. 

And today, a cat escaping the humans who adopted him a couple weeks ago because they simply were not the right humans. He escaped and made his way to the right human - to his chosen human. Of course, he got adopted right away, because that is the only way that things can go in that situation. And for the family who gave him up, who didn't look for him, who allowed him to be alone, fending for himself, for days or weeks as he looked for the right human… it is entirely their loss.
