"Owners move without their cat, she finds shelter from the rain with a nearby neighbor who adopts the feline into their family"
Abandoning a cat is heinous. We don't have any other, more fitting word to describe this deed. Adopting a cat in the first place is like adding another, floofier member to your family. And when you adopt someone into your family - it means you also "adopt" all responsibility for them. Their well-being, their health, their safety - all are in your hands. And if you break that promise after you adopt a cat, you break something deep in their soul - and probably also in yours. You don't just "let go" of something when you leave a cat behind, you leave part of your soul with it.

American dog person leaves home for Europe to unknowingly become pawrent to two cat children and fall in love with the species they once feared
Dog people, they just cannot seem to stop falling in love with cats. Honestly, to begin with we were happy to see them convert to the right side of things. But with time, we have begun to feel as though we might need to implement more screening processes or at least make them pass some sort of test before they become feline pawrents, because the sheer numbers of them that make the conversion from canine connoisseur to feline fanatic is getting out of hand.

Kind rescuer fails to catch stray ginger tomcat for 4 years, one day finds an adorable note attached to their fence saying: 'Folded ear cat has been rescued, $2000 vet bill, is safe and sound, and is living the good life'
Catching stray cats for TNRs is not nearly as easy as it may sound. We speak from experience. You, as the rescuer, know that your intentions are the absolute best. You know that if you catch the sick stray kitty that lives around your apartment complex, TNR it, take care of it, possibly get it adopted or adopt it yourself, then the cat will live a life better than it has ever known. You know it… the cat doesn't. And so the cat runs, and the cat gets older, and the cat possibly gets sicker, and you can only hope that one day, you will be able to catch it and give it the life it deserves.

Feline pawrent takes to the forums to find help for her hissterically potato-possessed cat, she finds out it's more common than you think
One of the reasons why we love our cats so much is because they are so weird. On the outside, they look like fluffy little angels, you would never guess that one of them will spend hours sticking her face in our shoes, and falling asleep with her head inside. What a lovable little weirdo! The other is slightly less strange, but he does fall asleep in some truly ridiculous pawsitions. But if you thought our cats were weird, just wait until you read what this pawrent below is going through.

Rescuers introduce tiny orphaned kitten to a heartbroken momma cat who had tragically lost her babies, and she hesitates for only a meowment before adopting him
We know, just as a fact, that there are people in the world who truly believe that cats are aloof, unsociable creatures. Of course, we, as cat owners, know that is not true. We know that cats not only love, they love hard. And still, even know we know this, sometimes, the things that we see cats do, the affection that we see them showing, takes us off guard and hits us right in the feels.

Lonely tomcat turned stray finally finds his family after three years thanks to a caring couple who found him 8km from home
While we cat lovers might not like to outwardly admit it, our feline friends are emotionally complicated. Well, usually anyway, and when they go off for prolonged periods, seemingly never to return their stories tend to be filled with feline fueled turmoil. But today we bring you a cat rescue story that is so sweet, so simple and so heartwarming that it has far more business being a made up Disney story than it does a real-life story sourced from Reddit.
