Caring couple rescue a malnourished cat, yet neighbors claim she's theirs despite obvious lack of care: 'They'll have to fight their way inside before I let them take our cat'

We always love a heartwarming cat adoption story. It's usually a wholesome moment when the Cat Distribution System decrees that you should have a cat, and then - lo and behold - you find your fluffy feline soulmate in the most unexpected time and place. But this is how CDS adoption stories usually go - wholesome, cute, and it fills your heart with the warmth and fuzziness of a purring cat that's making biscuits on your lap.

But sometimes, the cats don't just appear for a wishing heart like it's a meant-to-be Disney princess story. In some cases, like this specific story below, is about saving a starving soul. It's not about people making wishes for kittens and life of fluff - it's about the Cat Distribution System sending a kitty in dire need to the right person, a compassionate human spirit, to nurture them back to health, and adopt them for the best feline life they could have.

We adore a happy ending, and we wish nothing but the best life for this sweet cat and the couple who defended and adopted her.
