adopted

So, listen. We love our siblings. Yes, we do. But, there are some moments in everyone's lives when we kinda wanna throw something at them. That's fine. It's part of siblinghood. And apparently, doggos feel the same way. Hey, don't judge. Sometimes, even animals ruin family photos on purpose, and it just annoys everyone. 

Doggos can feel pretty heckin' done with their siblings too - especially when it's a new sibling that has just joined the household. They're patient, yeah, and doggos are indeed the best boys and girls no matter what. It's just that it takes some time to get used to this wiggling and zooming ball of energy that doesn't calm down until it passes out. But hey, at least the pictures are funny. 

To all those who clicked on this list: prepare yourselves. You're about to be overcome with so much cuteness, wholesomeness, and love you won't even know what to do with yourselves. It is time to celebrate this week's newly adopted faces. 

Every Friday, we scour the internet, looking for all of the most awwdorable pooches that got adopted this week - from cats to dogs and even to the very cutest axolotls! Seeing all of these lovely animals finally find their forever homes, happy and content, is the one thing that we absolutely cannot withstand smiling about.  

To every person who adopted this week, we give the biggest thank you! Giving these animals a place to live and be loved is the best thing to do for them. A extra special thank you, as always, goes to the ones of you who adopted senior pets, pets with behavioral issues, or sick pets. We know it's harder to take care of them, but it's so, so worth it, and we are grateful.

There can be many reasons in the wild for which even the most loving animal mommas would reject one of their babies. Nature is cruel like that. And though we don't know the exact reason behind the abandonment of this itty bitty kitty in this story, we can only be thankful that it turned out the way it did. 

Abandoned by its mom, a newborn kitten with its eyes still closedand the umbilical cord still attached to it was thankfully found by YucateCosa's neighbor. Following that, after getting lucky approximately 53 more times, this kitten found its new forever home. Thank you to YucateCosa for taking care of her and giving her the love and care that she deserved. Few could have and would have done what you did, and we are so, so thankful. 

A lot of us in this community have pets - cats, dogs, parrots, and all the animal in between. We love animals. And we have animals because we love them and want to give them the best lives they can possibly have. But how far would we really go to take care of an animal? It's not easy, even if they're young and healthy. But adopting a senior pet, a blind pet, a deaf pet, or a sick pet is whole other kind of challenge. 

And what if one pet is all of those things together? Meet Nannoo. 

Nannoo's owner has recently passed away, and her family surrendered her to Nashville Humane. The shelter attempted to give her the best life they could, but nothing can really replace a forever home. Honestly, we are not sure that we would have been able to take on the task of adopting this dog, so we are truly thankful to MrPuckett for doing it and sharing the story with the world. 

We hope this wonderful senior doggo lives a long life, as healthy as can be, getting all the pets and snacks it could want. 

Gooood morning, friends, and welcome to the cutest, most wholesome and most heartwarming collection of adorableness you will see all week long: it's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week.

Every Friday, we start the day off by putting a spotlight on the most awwdorable animals that were adopted this week. From the smallest itty bitty kittens to the largest, most distinguished and regal senior puppers. We love every single one of their stories, and knowing that they have all found their forever homes and are about to live the happiest lives simply makes us happy too. 

Thank you, as always, to every single person who adopted this week. For those of you who adopted animals with special needs, like senior animals, sick animals, or animals with behavioral issues, we say an additional thank you. Providing a home to an animal in need is an amazing thing, and you all not only have our gratitude, but you have also gotten yourselves a life-long friend. 

Pet adoption stories are always the most wholesome stories to read. Walking into a shelter and falling in love or helping a friend by taking a kitten from a newborn litter... it's our favorite kind of stories. Well, second favorite. Because what takes the number one spot for us are stories of the opposite, not of us humans adopting a pet but stories of pets adopting humans.

The story of the no-longer-feral cat that you're about to read is just like that. All it took was some love (and a little food) for a totally feral cat to decide that this human is its now. And being that we are too in love with cats for this world, this person had simply no choice but to take this kitty into its home. The rest... well, it's history. Very wholesome history. 

It's not an easy feat to grain a cat's trust. Many times, cats are aloof for a while before finally choosing their human. They're defensive by nature, and they're even more defensive when they have babies. To have cat moms trust their humans with their babies is an even bigger accomplishment. It's just that sometimes, even while they're still scared, cat mommas have no choice but to look for help with the human predators that scare them.

Such is the case with the cat mom that brunion has been feeding for a while. Maybe becoming a domesticated cat wouldn't have been her first choice, but in an attempt to help her babies, she went to the food-providing human anyway. It's safe to say that, now that these kitties are living in brunion's house, brunion is not the one who fostered them, the cat is the one who fostered this human.

Every single one of us, cat owners, has a story to tell about how we chose and adopted our fur babies. Some of us rescued our cats from terrible lives on the street, others went into a shelter to pick up a kitten then ended up changing our minds and adopting a senior pet. and some of us... well, some of us didn't choose at all and were instead picked by the cats. 

Last week, our purrfect ICanHasCheezburger users shared some of their stories with us - stories of cats adopting them, and they were so cute and wholesome, we simply had to share them with all of you guys as well. Thank you to everyone who shared, and we hope that your cats have the absolute best lives living with their humans of choice. 

Welcome to yet another Friday, friends, and get ready for this week's collection of the most wholesome animal posts you will see on the internet. That's right, it's time to meet this week's newly adopted faces. 

Every week, we go through the internet in search of the most wholesome animal adoption stories we can find. From humans adopting tiny pawdorable puppies or older cats all the way to animals choosing the humans they want to adopt. Every one of their stories warms our hearts and makes us incredibly happy. 

We want to thank every single one of you who adopted this week, of course, you have done something absolutely beautiful. A special thank you goes to all of you who adopted sick pets or distinguished senior pets or pets with behavioral issues. You have chosen a pet more difficult to take care of than most, and in our minds, that is something incredibly praise-worthy. 

We wish all these new adopters the best of lives with their new companions!

Sometimes, even in the animal world, unlikely interspecies families come to be. And Bertie the Labrador became one such father to no less than 7 orphaned kittens. 

As reported by Metro, Bertie is a rescue pup himself. He was given a forever home by head nurse Rachel, and Rachel, being the amazing animal momma that she is, did not merely stop once she had one pet in the house. Suddenly, after she had fostered these 7 kittens, Bertie found himself surrounded by itty bitty fluffy bundles of joy, and incredibly, he became they mom that they lost.

Not every kitten is born the same as the previous one. Some cats are born blind, other cats are born with extra toe beans, and this kitten was born with a few issues in his legs. Meet JD, the three legged kitten whose back left foot was curled under and who couldn't walk. 

As reported by Love Meow, JD was a three year old tabby cat who was found abandoned alongside his siblings. A Good Samaritan who came across them on the street could not help but pick them up and try to help them, but unfortunately, she soon realized that she was not equipped to give them the kind of special care that they needed, especially JD. 

Not giving up on them, she reached out to people who could help. Today, JD is happier than ever, adopted and living with another "impurrfect" cat with three legs.

Get ready for one of the most incredibly heartwarming adoption stories ever. A family with no less than 9 cats has come across a 10th, and even though some would say that 9 cats is quite a lot, for this family, 9 cats are fine, it's number 10 where the line is finally crossed. So, with a sad heart, the kids in this family realized that the 10th kitten needs to go to someone else, and the person who adopted it got a letter from these kids that is so heartwarming, we challenge you not to smile while reading it. 

Adoption stories are always wholesome, but this one is something special. Not only is this family happy to adopt so many cats in need, when they give one away, it is with the hope of making the adopted happier as well. Get the tissues, folks, and say thank you to this momma for raising some amazing kids. 

Most times, adopting a pet is a conscious decision. You make plans, you go to shelters, you choose your new lifelong companion. True, you may change your mind and adopt a senior pet instead of a baby pet at the last second, but it's your choice. Except when it isn't. Sometimes, it's the animals who adopt their humans, and we can do nothing but give them the love and affection that they ask for. The following story is one of those times. 

A guy who had no plans whatsoever to have a cat could not help but give the cat food when he saw that the cat needed it, and the rest.. is history. Now, this beautiful stray cat has a forever homeof its own with the man who rescued it, and we are so happy for both of them.
