There's nothing like a furry friend in our lives. Whether you're a dog person or a cat person, having that kind of comfort is crucial in our time of need. The story here is about someone finding a cat in a central air duct of all places. The poor thing was meowing in there, until this wholesome hooman got the little kitty out of there. She immediately took the cat to the vet, and they saved her life. She claims she never had a cat before, but now knows she has a furrever furry friend. 

She expected that she'd foster the cat back to health, but when she saw how attached the cat was to her she decided to keep her. She claims that the cat never leaves her side, that she's always sitting on her, that they always eat together, and that even her dog is obsessed with the cat. Read the full story below for all the adorable and wholesome details.
