stray

There are so many ways for an animal to come into your life. Sometimes, it's planned. You go into the shelter to pick a companion. Maybe it doesn't go exactly according to plan, and instead of adopting a kitten, you end up adopting a gorgeous senior cat. Other times, your cats are the ones who choose you. You see one on the street, helpless and alone, and you simply know that this one is meant to be a part of your life. 

The latter is the story of Church, the stray cat, who was rescued and adopted by FridgePants on imgur. The two of them saw each other, and that was it, fate has been decided. FridgePants did the most amazing, selfless thing in the world by saving this adorable cat and giving it the forever home that he deserved. We want to thank them and let them know that they have made not only this cat happier but they've also put smiles on our faces. 

This one is a unique story: a guy with a heart of gold who feeds the stray cats in his neighborhood has run out of cat-appropriate food to give to the little felines. Yet, because of his pure goodness, because of wanting to help the stray cats, he has done what he could and gave the cats an egg. Yes, a cooked sunny side up egg, but the cats... they were not expecting it. 

Of course, in the usual twitter style - hilarity ensues. It's not the first time we've come across. Once, we saw a thread about a twitter user who was chased by a cow on Valentines day, another time, we've read about a twitter user who resurrected a bird with her breasts. Twitter is full of amazing, hilarious stories, and this egg one is going on the 'Iconic' list. 

All it takes is a little kindness to change an animal's life. This heartwarming tumblr thread proves just that. This tiny kitten, later named Nux, was found at the bottom of violetohara's stairs, and though it was a bit hard to catch the kitten at first, violetohara immediately knew that if they catch the little thing, they'll adopt her right away.

And that's exactly what happened. The kitten was sick, had burrs and sticks in her fur and was clearly unwell, but all it took is a visit to the vet and one day in her new forever home for her to start purring and become of of the cutest kittens in the whole world. Nux is still doing great, of course, because with a forever home as loving as this, who wouldn't?

Well, according to Imgur user, daianaaaa, this beautiful senior kitty adopted her, not the other way around. And sometimes, it is the pets who decide who their human will be, and when you've been chosen, it's the best feeling in the world. To be chosen is an honor. 

Daianaaaa was chosen by Molly. A 20-year-old stray who also happens to be blind. Our hearts feel so warm knowing there are people out there who see older animals in need of some love and providing it for them. 

If you're considering getting a pet, please consider adopting instead of shopping. The animals know you've rescued them, they just do and you can feel their gratefulness for it. 

Thank you, daianaaaa, for giving Molly a loving forever home! 

Every cat has a story to tell. Some stories are more adventurous than others. And there's nothing that we would love more than being able to hear these stories. Alas, cats don't speak (unfortunately), so we can only settle on getting glimpses of their adventures. 

This week, a tweet had gone viral, describing a situation in a which a cat owner went to a neighbor's house and accidentally found her cat chilling there. Instantly, twitter users started chirping in, sharing their own stories about finding their cats in random, unexpected places. It's one of the risks of letting your cat hang outside, we suppose. And the stories... are just as unexpectedly hilarious. 

Awwwee! We love happy endings! 

This gorgeous gray kitten was all alone in the woods when just by chance, decided to bolt out into the road. It just so happened that Brittany, a volunteer of Sparkle Cat Rescue was driving by and noticed something bolt from the trees and flash across the road. 

Brittany told LoveMeow, "I was certain it was a squirrel at first but after I passed it, I saw in my mirror that it ran to a tree and stopped. I turned around immediately to go check it out."

Klarieke, a cat owner from Greece, has three adult cats: Jack, Louis, and Stavros. She and her family adopted Stavros just one year ago, Klarieke tells Love Meow, "Stavros lived on the streets and was very ill. He was rescued by a Dutch girl who stays in Zakynthos every summer. She was looking for a home (for the cat) in Holland, so we decided to adopt him." 

"My husband and I said to each other, 'this is the last cat, three is enough," she added. 

That is until Stavros befriended a stray kitten and brought that kitten home.

What a good boy! 

We love it when we heart a story of a stray animal getting a furrever home -- and job. 

Meet Tuscan Prime, the new "pawfessional consultant" of a Hyundai showroom in Brazil! The staff noticed him earlier this year, a stray that would constantly hang around the showroom. The staff didn't ignore the stray, instead, they gave him love and attention. And after one particularly rainy night, the manager, Emerson Mariano, decided to adopt the dog and named him Tuscan Prime. 

After his adoption, Mariano took him to the vet for all the necessary vaccinations. 

Initially, the showroom took him in just to give him refuge, but it turns out that he's one heck of a salesman! With Tuscan's charm and interaction with the customers, the dealership saw no choice but to give credit where it was due. Thus, earning Tuscan Prime a promotion and his very own ID badge! Tuscan had officially become the showroom's mascot! 

In an interview with Top Motors Brazil, Mariano mentions that "that many customers returned to the store even after having purchased a car just to say hi to the dog and give him gifts."

And according to Mariano, Tuscan is even expected to star in a national advertisement campaign for Hyundai! 

Way to go, Tuscan! You can now follow Tuscan Prime on Instagram!
