    'I looked at her and realized I couldn't part with this baby': A friendly stray shows up uninvited and turns a temporary foster into a furever home as the family's fifth kitty

    Moving into a new home is already an adventure, but this family barely had time to settle in before fate delivered an unexpected housewarming gift. Just a month after moving, a half-grown kitten came sprinting across the street, ran straight to the husband's feet, and purred like she'd known them her whole life. The moment the front door opened, she invited herself in, as if she already lived there.

    Since they hadn't planned on taking in another cat, she stayed on the patio at first, complete with a warm bed, heating pad, and litter box. The door was left open so she could leave whenever she wanted, but she didn't budge. Instead, she curled up, stayed put, and waited for her new life to begin. The vet confirmed she wasn't chipped or spayed, so they took care of it all and prepared to foster her… at least until after the holidays.

    Then New Year's Day arrived, and with one look, her family knew fostering wasn't an option anymore. Phoebe wasn't just visiting. She was home. And with that, she became their beloved, fifth kitty.
