'She hadn’t had a home in a long time': CDS delivers a purrfect match as hooman falls in love with a stray cat while leaving for work and adopts her into their home

Sometimes the Cat Distribution System knows exactly when to deliver, and three weeks ago, it brought pure perfection named Misty. On a regular morning, this sweet gray fluff decided her new hooman was the one. One leg rub, a few confident head bonks, and that was it. She had officially adopted her person. Despite her matted fur and tired eyes, Misty's heart was full of love from the very first moment.

Since arriving, she has been the calmest, most affectionate little cloud of joy, settling into her new home in no time. She is still figuring out the fun of toys, but she already loves her scratching boards and quiet cuddle sessions. At around seven years old, Misty has a few health hurdles ahead, yet she finally has the care and comfort she has always needed.

From the streets to soft blankets and gentle pets, Misty's story is a reminder that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it, and it looks a lot like a tiny gray cat with a big heart.
