Good meowrning, feline fam. Can you imagine living your whole life in an animal shelter? It must be pawsitively terrible. Her meowther gave birth to her and her siblings while she was in the shelter, and ever since then, she's been waiting to be adopted by her furrever hooman. Spending most of her day in a cage, she didn't know anything except rescue life and the few times they let her out to play. That is, until 7 years later, when she and her hooman finally met.

She finally got adopted by the kind man in this post, and now they go everywhere together! She climbs on his shoulders and struts her stuff while he walks around and does his hooman things. It's a clear case of true love, and we're here for it. For all of you out there who are considering getting a new cat, please give the long-time residents a chance. They've been waiting just for you!

    Historical-Kick-9... I used to work at a 200+ no-k cat shelter. We had the hardest time getting people to give the long- timers a chance. Thank you for giving Luna a happy home!

    cyankitten Heartbreaking that she waited so long but heartwarming that you met Luna and she now finally has her furrever home.

  • Our next cat is going to be a senior cat from the shelter. Not that we're saying that Luna is a senior, but she's no spring kitten. We're maxed out with cats for now, but soon enough, we'll be ready to welcome another feline to the family!

  • Sir, we have to inform you that you may not have adopted a cat, but purrhaps, a meerkat. Or maybe an otter. Either way, it's very cute, and all of them love fish, so you're fine either way. Better stock up on tuna just to be safe, though.

    I remember when I adopted my first cat, they had placed all the cats and kittens in a colour-coordinated system at the pet store. All the dark or black cats and kittens were put at the bottom, where you

    could hardly notice them. I adopted one kitten, but I felt so bad for all the others I left behind, especially the dark- furred ones placed at the bottom. Those with darker fur were older than all the other kittens I saw. I walked out of that pet store feeling so sad and sorry. I wanted to adopt all of them.

    GatorNator83 The white part on her belly begs for scratches. You'll get stitches of course, but it's worth it.

    OsitaMaria I have had 5 black cats. All them very loving and beautiful. It is so sad that some people do not like them. They are usually the ones left behind. My last black kitty happened because our vet called us cause they knew we would adopt her and love her. Nobody else wanted her. Their loss !
