Wholesome Cat Dad Walks Into Animal Shelter to Adopt a Kitten, Becomes Smitten With Senior Cat, Takes Him Home So He Won't Have to Spend Christmas Alone

It's a Christmas meowricle, feline fam. The cat distribution system strikes again with another wholesome adoption story, although this one is a bit different than our normal heartwarming tails. The CDS doesn't just work on cross-country trips, at work, or meowing outside your window - it works everywhere and is always planning. It purrfectly planned for this wholesome cat dad to go to an animal shelter to adopt a playmate for his young cat, knowing full well that he would walk out with something he didn't expect.

He went in looking for a kitten, but upon receiving several head bonks from an awwdorable senior cat, he decided to take them home instead. See? The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. Turns out that the senior cat's owners passed over the rainbow bridge a month ago, and this new cat dad couldn't stand the thought of leaving him in there over Christmas. So, he adopted him and now they have a full fluffy family ready to celebrate the meowlidays. Scroll down to read the full story below!

We're absolutely sure they will get along swimmingly. The headbutts are always a surefire way to make someone fall in love with you. We did it with our fiance four years ago, and we're getting married next year! Moral of the story is: headbutt someone when you want to show your affection (gently and lovingly, of course).

We love this. Yes, kittens absolutely deserve to get adopted, but so do sweet seniors! Imagine living your last days in a shelter….we can't even stomach the thought. Congratulations on your new cat, and we hope you have a very meowy Christmas!
