This Week’s Heartwarming Helping of Newly Adopted Cats for Fresh Feline Pawrents (January 10, 2024)

• 01

  “First cat adopted from our shelter in 2025. Picasso!”

  

• 02

  “Kitty that came into the shelter I work at… Needless to say she didn’t stay very long before getting adopted in”

  

• 03

  “Does anyone know why my recently-adopted kitty’s ears have notches in them? I’ve had five other cats before, and have never seen this. Is it his genetics?”

  

• 04

  “Adopted a black kitten. His paws are bigger than his head.”

  

• 05

  “I adopted a stray cat over New Year. Now she has a home :)”

  

• 06

  “I decided to maximize my chaos and adopted another tangerine”

  

• No, this really is a risk. For those of you who have never had an orange kitty before… take it from us, the level of chaos is different. It’s unique. It’s pawerful. And having two of them at the same time… All we can ask is that you do the world a favor and tell us about as many of the shenanigans as pawssible.

  “I adopted this little guy. What breed is he?”

  

• 08

  “Rescued this sweet but incredibly skittish boy 3 years ago. Today he finally sat on the bed with me for the first time”

  

• 09

  “adopted these adorable siblings”

  

• 10

  “Adopted my first void!”

  

• 11

  “I’m adopting him today (and idk if I want to keep his name or find a new one!)”

  

• 12

  “found my recently adopted cat buried in my stuffed animals”

  

• 13

  “Just adopted this little guy”

  

• 14

  “Four years ago today, I was chosen.”

  

• 15

  “I adopted this baby today! His name is Gabriel and I love him so much already”

  

• 16

  “Brought home our new guy, Sushi, but he is absolutely terrified and won’t come out.”

  

• Don’t worry. This happens. And it’s just a matter of time. Cats are not great with moving in general, and moving on top of having new humans around can be scary as heck. But give him enough time and space and respect (and snacks) and eventually, not only will this kitty come out of its hiding place, it will also be purring in your lap in no time.
