"Adopted My First Cat Today"
"Meet Anabell. She was at our local shelter and I took off work just go there and bring her home. I've never had a cat before and I am so excited for this journey with Anabell. She's a Seal Point Siamese"

"Just adopted today"
"I'm a martial arts teacher, and one of my 6 year old students told me his family was fostering a momma cat.
He said he picked out one for me, so of course I couldn't say no. He said he picked "chocolate chip" (the kitten) for me because it's sweet like me (adorable)
Went to go meet them, the momma cat came right up to me and decided I was hers as well.
Long story short I now have two cats I've already spent 400 on. I'm obsessed"

"First time adopting a cat, and I adopted sisters!"
"Fell in love with Pixie (cat in front) at a local pet store. Turns out, she had a sister! Ended up adopting both to keep them together. Any advice for a first time cat owner is greatly appreciated! FYI - Have an 11 year old dog who is amazing, a wife and 2 school aged kids. So, full household!"

"After 10 - 15 years of wanting a cat…"
"… I was finally in a better moment life to adopt one. Willy Pete is a 9 year old sir. Coworker couldn't keep him anymore and was going to try to make him an outdoor cat again (!!), while give his younger sister to a shelter. I couldn't take both, but they were going to get split regardless (and maybe another coworker is getting her, so they'll still see each other from time to time). So priority was preventing him from ending up outside again at least. Brought him home yesterday and only now he's started to come out from under the couch."

"Thanks to Reddit I adopted the best cat ever (sorry everyone)"
"I mean yall can check my post history, I was terrified about adopting a kitten. I was so scared she would hate being an indoor cat, that she would hate us, that she would fall and injure herself and cost us thousands in bills
But no, she's been the absolute light of my life since we bought her. I'd never considered going to a breeder and always wanted to adopt but since my boyfriend is allergic we decided to get a hypoallergenic breed through a breeder (he's still allergic but loves her to bits)…"

"I adopted a cat today!"
"I adopted Pumpkin today from a local shelter and she is the absolute sweetest baby. She's my first cat and I couldn't be happier with her. She has wobbly cat syndrome and is such a cutie to watch walk around. It was only fitting that I adopted Pumpkin on October 1st."

"Just adopted this tiny senior lady!"
"Meet Palmerina, aka Pom-Pom! She's a sweet, shy, and surprisingly spry 13-ish-year-old gal, and my very first cow cat!
I'm notoriously powerless in the face of senior cats in need, so I adopted her a couple of weeks ago with very little notice.
Her purrs vibrate my whole couch, and her scratchy little meow greetings sounds like a retiree who's smoked 3 packs of Virginia Slims per day for forty years, and, darn it, isn't about to quit now. So, basically, she's strange, very petite, and perfect."
