"The cat I adopted jumped on my lap for the 1st time and I cried"
"I adopted Fey (8) about 3 months ago. It was love at first sight and I honestly do not understand how she didn't get adopted in the past year and a half she was in a shelter. (Apparently lots of people find 8 years too old) I was looking for an indoor cat that needed a safe, quiet place to grow old and be spoiled. Since I brought her home she slowly started trusting me more. From laying next to me to get pets, to greating me when I came home, sleeping on my bed and today where she jumped on my lap and fell asleep. I cried."

"Found her this morning (someone obviously dumped her) shelter wouldn’t take her so I guess she chose me?"

"Got this one eyed beauty today. Meet squid."
"Been at the humane society a few weeks. He's had no application interest. All his siblings were adopted. He was found as a stray. He has to have his eye removed. I'm not really sure if it was from a infection or what. He does have a slight eye watering and a slight sneeze. He's being kept from my other cat. He's already fitting in. Sleeping with my dogs. I'm going to try to get him to the vet Monday to see about his sneeze and eye drainage (it's very minimal, but I'm still concerned)."

"We adopted this old gentleman!"
"Ignore how red his nose is, he rubbed it raw on the way home :(
His name is Brock, but that will change (my mom hates that name). He was rescued from a hoarding house, and unfortunately lost all of his teeth. The shelter estimates that he is about 10 years old.
He was being spicy at the shelter, but a couple of Churus later, and he's proven himself to be an absolute sweetheart!
Also, this is my PSA that many old cats are in need of loving forever homes! Brock is one of the unbelievably lucky ones who got adopted within a couple weeks, but some live for years in shelters, or worse are euthanized because there simply isn't room to house cats that won't be adopted. If you are willing and able, please consider adopting adult and senior cats!"

"My special needs kitten got adopted by the vet who's been seeing over his care"
"This is 9 week old Speedy who over the course of his life, has earned the nickname Poopless (think Toothless from HTTYD) due to his chronic constipation. It's been a struggle since he was born with constant back and forth vet visits. Dropped him off at the vet on Monday and he's been staying there ever since. He was supposed to come home today or tomorrow, and that's still true, he's just not coming home here. He's going home with the vet who has been taking such great care of him."

"Adopted 1 braincell"
"Acquitances found this orange kitten near their house which they couldnt keep.As me and my partner always wanted a cat we adopted him and named him Dexter! Vet told us he was about a month old baby. Very shy and scared at first, but within a week he became our best companion. He loves to sleep and fight vacuum cleaner. He sleeps so deeply you can do whatever with him. He loves when you stroke his head and when we come back from work to him he wont leave you alone unless he receives his daily dose. Last pics are 2 months after we got him and he is growing very fast"
