Adopting an animal is one of the most selfless and loving things one can do!

Some of the most beautiful things in life come as a surprise. When you least expect it, the universe can send you a gift that you didn't know you needed. And with pets, it can happen exactly that! 

In this case, some people were walking around a parking lot when they heard a sudden meowing. Turns out, there was a little orange kitten hiding under a car! They decided to take him home, even though they were completley unprepared to receive a kitten. They didn't have cat food, a litter box, or any toys, but they chose to figure out the specifics later, and simply take the fluffy baby with them. They were debating whether they should give him up for adoption, but the little feline fell asleep on one of his rescuers' arms. He looked so cute and so comfortable that they decided to keep him. They took him to the vet for a checkup, and he was mostly okay, so nothing to worry about. Now he's perfectly installed in his new home, and he has his own cup, his food, a litter box, and many toys to keep himself busy! 

What these people did was a wonderful act of love. They found a furry feline alone and without anyone to take care of him, and instead of worrying about all the details and the things they didn't have, they just pushed their worries aside and chose to help. They could have said it was too sudden, that they didn't have enough space, or given a hundred different excuses. They didn't. They chose to do the right thing: to help the baby with whatever they had and however they could. Most of the time, some food and a warm, loving home are more than enough to make an innocent animal happy. Of course, some other times it will be necessary to give more specialized and urgent care, but thankfully this wasn't the case. This kitten only needed a family and some love to be happy and protected. 

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!
