Hello feline fam, you already know us so well that we almost feel like we don't need to say it, but we'll say it anyway - wholesome cat adoption stories melt our hearts faster than the heat wave outside melts our brains. We're sure it's true for you too, otherwise, you won't be right here, in this corner of the internet. Because here? We're about to witness adoption stories that are out of the ordinary - they're double adoption stories. Well, mostly.

You see, when you adopt one cat, you've already made sure to get a little piece of heaven. Adopting a cat is the most wholesome thing a person can do for themselves - and for the cat. But what's completely heart-melting about these stories below, shared by the lovely global cat community, is that their adopted cats adopted a kitten! That's, like, double the wholesomeness of an adoption story.

Seriously, we cannot even. We just cannot even, and now we're sharing these heart-melters with you, so we all won't be able to even together.

    My cat adopted this feral void kitten. She's the only one allowed to pet her.

  • You already know how true that is. Just as when humans adopt a cat, which is amazing for both the cat and the person, so is a cat who adopts a kitten. It's not just a kitten who's rescued - your cat also gets so much out of it, with love, affection, and care.

    Terrified of people but we have socialized her enough to not run from us anymore. She still doesn't like for us to pet her. We're still working on it. We are "fostering" her right now.

    Similar thing but Sam was very protective of his adopted daughter. We can pet her but he gets mean if he is separated from her for too long ✰ Vote ○ Reply

  • It's ameowzing to see these bonded pairs of cats, especially knowing one cat adopted the other. It's bonding by choice and acceptance. This makes all these bonded pairs of cats even more wholesome than usual (if that's even possible).

    metaphoricalgoldstar ⚫ 16h ago • Edited 16h ago I had this happen once. The feral void was my cat's cat until he passed, then the feral void was like, "yeah okay, i guess I'll snuggle you now that he's gone." I miss both of them every day. (Feral void has passed now too.)

    (he really likes her and gets excited when he can get close to her). We really don't need another cat but who am I to refuse the cat distribution system.

    These two quickly became obsessed with each other when I finally integrated the gray one into the mix. My girl, the siamese floof, loves this little one eyed boy so much it's hilarious sometimes. She's got two boys that love her so much
