Childhood cat given away during a toxic relationship gets miraculously returned 8 years later as a stray, recognizing her family the moment they call her name
It's never an easy choice to rehome a pet. We'd like to believe that everyone always does it for the "right" reasons, but the reality is that most times, they don't. Rehoming a pet, in our opinion, should only be an option after all the other solutions have failed and the quality of the pet's life is suffering. After you've gone to the vet to rule out any medical issues, and certainly after you've tried making adjustments to the household to make them more comfortable. But that wasn't what happened to Mittens, the wholesome kitty from Reddit's r/cats community, who is the star of our story below.

Woman stops at PetSmart for cat litter, instantly falls in love with a three-legged mama cat who desperately deserves a second chance
The great thing about cat lovers is that they'll always find a place for another cat if they really need to. There are so many cats in need out there that "No more" turns into "What's one more?" pretty easily. The emotional reward you get from giving a cat a second chance at life is far worth the extra work of adding one more cat to your household. It's another litter box, a few weeks of gentle introductions to the other cats in the household, and then you just have an extra cuddle buddy for life that might have spent years in a shelter, or in this case, a PetSmart without you.

Shelter volunteer fosters a litter of kittens with the most unique and rare fur patterns and markings they've ever seen
We say this as people with vast experience when it comes to cat content: cats will always find a way to surprise you. We have been writing for ICHC for a long time. We have seen many, many pictures of cute cats. We have put together whole lists of cool cats with unique features and unique colors. Really, there was a point in time when we thought that we have seen it all. And then, we saw some new and unique cat again. And then again. And after if happened enough times, we stopped thinking that we know everything, and we started expecting the unexpected.

Feral cat named Jeff, who hates everything and everyone, decides it's time to retire and get adopted, picks a family where he's unconditionally loved and becomes the snuggliest cuddlebug
House cats and feral cats are very different. We know house cats very well. We know how lazy and silly and spoiled and simple these cats are. Feral cats are a whole other being. They are fierce, they are independent, and they can handle anything that comes their way themselves. But at the end of the day, feral cats are still cats, and every once in a while, these fierce feral cats realize that it is way more fun to be spoiled and chonky at home than it is to fight for scraps outside. And then these cats decide… it's time to adopt a human. It's time to get domesticated.

Beautiful blind black cat who has been waiting for 9 years in the shelter to be adopted finally gets taken in by the purrfect family, now he can't stop purring and wanting love
Cats who are in shelters for a long time usually have very sad stories. They never deserve to be there for that long. They are never "bad" cats. They are cats who've been dealt some rough cards in their lives. Oftentimes, they are cats who have been abandoned by their previous owners, cats who have lost their owners to old age, or cats who have managed to get old as strays or ferals and have simply allowed themselves to get caught, wanting to finally get off the streets and into a warm home.

Orange cat pulled out of car by firefighters after being cold and alone all night, mother and son adopt him quickly
Orange cats are known for their mischievous behavior. Sometimes they knock things off tables more than other cats, or they might have midnight zoomies a little more than you're used to dealing with. Regardless of their knack for danger, it's important to remember that at the end of the day they're just like other cats. They enjoy the snuggles, a warm home, and feeling loved just the same. Take it from Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, where this little orange kitty was found stuck inside a car one day just trying to get warm.
