We hear so many amazing and heartwarming rescue stories all the time of people coming across animals in need and doing the amazing thing of saving them. From people rescuing a poor underweight stray cat, to someone an unexpectedly heartwarming rescue of a sick 'ugly' fish, all the way to rescuing the same heckin' adventurous seal 4 times in 3 different countries. Humans will sometimes truly go a long way to help an animal.  

Have you ever wondered what such kindness could lead to in the long run? This tumblr thread shows you exactly what that leads to, and it is far more wholesome and magical than you may think. 

One of our favorite things in the world - something that is guaranteed to make us smile every single time - are posts full of animal wholesomeness and cuteness. There is nothing that brings us more joy than seeing animals be happy and reading stories about people helping animals. 

That is why, every single week, we bring you a whole collection of the cutest animal posts on the internet. From cute pictures of animals to stories of animal adoptions to just posts that are so wholesome and so simple, you can't help but get butterflies in your belly.

We hope this collection of cuteness makes you smile and that you have an absolutely pawfect week!

Every so often, inanimate objects have a whole lot of personality. What starts as a leaf or pile of bubbles can look like a really cool guy. Honestly there are some piles of rocks out there who seem like a great hang. Sometimes inanimate objects just look like other stuff. Deceptive little inanimate objects, trying to trick us. Go back to being things, stuff.

There is nothing more amazing in the whole world to experience as an animal parent than watching your itty bitty baby give birth to itty bitty babies. Animal pregnancies are amazing, but they can be really hard to watch, especially when the babies just keep on coming. 

This doggo momma has had a long, long day, and so did her human parents, bringing to the world a group of 9 tiny puppies with the freshest, most awwdorable little toe beans. We want to thank tobeornottobeme on imgur for sharing this amazing story with the internet and continuing to update us on the developments. What you have done and are doing for these dogs is so amazing, and we wish them and you the most incredible life together. 

Now get ready for butterflies in your belly and tears of joy in your eyes and take a look at this beautiful story. 

It is Monday, ladies, gentleman, cats and dogs. It has come around yet again, and that means that we have to get up and start the week. And we know - trust us, we really do - we know how much you want to stay in bed and keep cuddling your cat or go on an extra long walk with your dog. But.. we have to adult, and that means getting up and starting the week, riiight after checking out some wholesome animal memes. 

Every Monday, we make sure you start the week off pawfectly with some positive and uplifting animal memes. It's that little hint of rebellion and freedom that we need before we get into the swing of things. An extra smile and some more butterflies in our bellies - that's exactly what we need this morning. 

Coming across an abandoned tiny and helpless kitten on the street is a heart-wrenching thing each and every time. Our hearts cannot help but go out to them, and yet, as much as we wish we could help, that's not always a possibility. Thankfully, this injured awwdorable itty bitty black kitten has lucked out, being rescued by some wonderful people. 

After not finding the kitten's mom, Covidnineteen on imgur picked the kitten up and took it home, bringing it to the vet, feeding it from a bottle, gently introducing it to the purrfect senior cat and the dog in the house. Not everyone would have undertaken such a task, so we feel like we absolutely have to say thank you. We wish this adorable rescued kitten as well as its family a long and most happy life together. 

Yes, we know, we are all about cats here on ICanHasCheezburger, but sometimes, we show love to other animals as well. We're not mere cat lovers, and one of our ultimate favorite animals are foxes. Foxes are adorable, foxes are fierce, and they are misunderstood to a painful degree. 

Still, we love them, and we wish we had more reminders of how adorable they are thrown around our house at all times. That's why we, the editors, ventured out onto the beautiful world of Amazon and found some of the most pawsome fox gifts ever - for you and for all of your foxiest friends.

Sometimes, we come across a gem in the vast wasteland that is tumblr completely by accident - an animal story so ridiculous and unexpected, we don't even know what to do with it. Stories such as a tiny dramatic opossum infiltrating a shelter overcrowding run, or the jerk peacock who runs around scaring everyone, and today, we have the most amazing story of a delinquent tegu stealing blueberries. 

Thank you, kaijutegu, for sharing this ridiculous story. Never in our lives did we think we would fall in love so hard with a tegu, but alas, here we are. Of course, tegus are not the only thieves in the animal kingdom.

And that's why you're here, about to look through this week's collection of animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

Each of these pictures is amazing in its own right - from adorable and funny pictures of animals to the most beautiful pictures of animal phenomena that show off just why we love nature so much.

Every week, we collect the most purrfect cat posts on the internet for this gathering, to share it with the other cat ladies and gentlemen in the crowd. 

Are you confused? Well, you shouldn't be. Cats exhibit all the characteristics of a rules - cats are jerks, cats do whatever the heck they want whenever they want, cats cause endless mischief and ruin our things. And yet, we keep feeding them and loving them and giving them everything they can possibly want, all in exchange for the tiniest hint of affection from them. It's what we signed up for when we got them, and it's purrfect. 

We have all heard the says that black cats are bad luck, and for some reason, people actually believe that fully debunked superstition - to the point that black cats are the least adopted cats in shelters. It's simply sad, because these people are wrong. Black cats are not bad luck. Black cats are purrfect little black voids of mischief and joy, and today, twitter is on the defense. 

Twitter users have taken it upon themselves to defend black cats by sharing some of the most adorable black cat pictures you will ever see. That's all we need to turn black cats' reputation around, really - some pawdorable pictures that will melt people's hearts and perhaps convince them to give these beauties a chance and adopt them.
