‘The kitten that I thought was meant to be mine... is going to a stranger, and there's nothing I can do about it’: Rescuer’s soul kitten is adopted out to another family due to a shelter mix up, but kind commenters come to help handle the heartbreak

Feline rescues are tough, and seemingly so, even tougher when it happens that the rescuer tries to do things the right way, or shall we say the shelter approved way. The problem with this method being that you put yourself at the whim of people who are overworked, understaffed and have immense pressure to rehome the cattos in their care. Which, as it happened to our heroic rescuer, can mean that your innocent attempt to find the cat child's true pawrents, ends up in a clerical error that gets your soul kitten adopted out to another family.

So take this story as a cautionary tale that proves that if you are chosen by the Cat Distribution System, that only thing you need to do is love and cherish that catto until the end of its days, no more, no less. The rules and regulations of the hooman world do not apply to cat culture.
