"2 hours since we adopted him... and he is now asleep, purring on my lap. His brother is a bit more shy, but since they now got their forever home together - we got plenty of time"

Sometimes, it just happens this way. Some cats know that it is their time to be adopted, and they are so ready for it. They are so ready to give all of the love that they have in their hearts to their chosen human.

"Update on the cat I adopted from my grandma"
"She's almost fully integrated now. Doing great, she's purring, giving headbutts and love bites.. I want to thank you all for the nice comments, and awards even! I never imagined that. It's been a rough week, but we're both healing. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Newly Adopted: Butter and Scotch"
"I saw these two brothers cuddling at PetSmart and was told by the rescue they were taking longer to get adopted since they're adults/a true bonded pair. They've brought a lot of happiness to my home already, they're SO goofy, loving, and sweet. Butter (chonkier, calm/shy) and Scotch (long arms, a social butterfly) they share one brain cell"

We believe in this cutie. There is a healthy, energetic little kitty under all this chonk, and in a good home, where he will be taken care of and loved, we are sure that he is going to be so, so happy.

"I found this guy in a bird cage with no food or water"
"This is Fig or Figgy! I found him at 3 weeks old living in a bird cage with no food or water. Infested with tape worms and fleas. I didn't want a cat but I was scared he would never get adopted for superstitious reasons if I gave him to a shelter :( He is 1 now, and a VERY good boy. He is the most tolerant cat I've ever met. You can't tell from the pictures but he is a monstrous cat. He's a lean 15 pounds. Fun Fact: His Vet adores him as she only rescues black cats!"

"Recently adopted"
"My son (19y) adopted this cat from the ACC. He was a stray, estimated to be about 10y. Olive is the sweetest cat, always chirping and purring. He's still not very cuddly but is always hanging out and loves to come get some pets. He has the most beautiful, minky fur I've ever felt. Last picture is when we first got him, he was all skin and bones. First picture is now , we might need to cut back a little on food. Weird thing is, his eyes never dilate to slits. They're always mostly round even though they dilate a little smaller. He seems to see fine."

"Adopting this angel was was the highlight of my year"
"After weekly visits to the adoption center for months, seeing this 10 year old kitty with FIV and 'behavioral issues' was love at first sight. Dearest Sophie is my first cat and she has made this year so bright. I can't wait for many more together!!"
