It's a known fact that cat adoption stories are equally wacky and wholesome, but this one breaks the record with 100% laughs and love with how she found her forever home.

The more of these silly adoption stories we encounter, the more we're sure the Cat Distribution System operates a comedy-based department that covers all the silly billy cats who find their way into their new homes in the funniest of ways. There are plenty of hilarious cat adoption stories, like cats who decide to domesticate themselves, just because. But it was a long time since we heard a truly funny adoption tale, such as that of this one tortie queen who totally fooled an old man to make him find her a home.

We already know of cats who refuse to leave home, but cats who refuse to leave cars are a different sort of brave. Which makes for seriously silly situations. This tortie cutie literally made an old grandpa stop his truck in its tracks, and while he took his time getting out to look for her - she was already gone, waiting for him… back in his truck. But once you see her pictures - full of totitude and actually striking beauty - you can totally understand why he insisted on finding this pawdorable girl a home. Which she has definitely found.

Another cat finds her furrever home. Success!

Even before the story begins, just… look at that stoopi face. What a delightful display of dumb adorableness. We love a tortie cat who's full of tortitude, and fills the world with more silly and whimsical vibes.

These exactly 0 brain cells are dominated by her orange fur parts. It's a given that orange cats have literally 0 brain cells between their triangle ears and behind their silly eyes. But torties? They are a little different. You see, some might call them “brown”, but their fur is a blend of orange, black, grey - it's a soup of fur colors that appears almost always in female cats. Now, most of the orange cats are male, so where are all the 0 brain cell ladies, you might ask? That's where torties come in. The orange in their fur takes away their big brain capacities, leaving them blissfully dumb, but full of attitude. Hence their “tortitude” label.

Her plan to get adopted actually does sound smart! But if you really think about it - it sounds like the plan of a mad genius. Because just like orange cats who wait patiently for their turn with the single brain cell they all share, so do the tortie ladies. And it seems that the CDS gave her the brain cell just in time - suddenly, in a streak of genius, this cat knew exactly how to plan her adoption from start to finish. The charm was already in her, she just needed some CDS-instilled meowtivation and pathfinding.
