adopted

Welcome, animal lovers! And welcome to our original weekly segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! Our hearts are simply bursting at all this love! So many adopted faces this week, we're just melting at the sight of it all. 

Once a week, we search through the web to bring you all the recently adopted faces we manage to come across. We would like to take this moment to thank all those who have recently adopted a pet, to thank all those who adopted a pet in the past, and to thank those who will adopt a pet in the future. You guys rock. And, of course, a mega-heartfelt shoutout to those who adopt a senior pet or a pet that requires a bit more tender love and care. You are our forever heroes.  

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. So many animals out there are in need of loving homes such as yours. 

If you recently adopted a pet share an image with us in the comments below or send us a DM on Facebook to be featured on next week's list! You can also share your adoption on I Can Has Cheezburger's new Facebook community group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a place where everyone can share their newly adopted pet with the entire community! 

Bring the tissues, everyone, because this one is a tearjerker. Meet Baldr. This poor pup has spent the first year and a half of his life chained up before he got rescued. He never even had a name, and it has left him afraid of trusting people. Thankfully though, his life changed when imgur user, poorschmuck, opened up their hearts and took him in. 

Baldr is now the happiest he's ever been. He's found his forever home, and he knows it. In this home, he will get nothing but love, and as poorschmuck said: he's "[n]ever going to see a chain again." And nothing could make us happier. 

If you have your own heartwarming pet stories, come share them in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Pets with behavioral issues are never easy to take care of, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve the most amazing forever home. What happens though, when you find out that the pet's behavioral issues most likely stemmed from fear rather than anything else? You get the story of Cheddar Kevin the cat.

bythezu, on imgur, shared their kitty's story, and it first broke our hear then put it right back together. Because this poor kitty has been re-homed 5 times since he would pee everywhere. Yet, when he got to bythezu home, he didn't have an issue. It seems that the reason is that the poor guy kept being put into busy home which were simply too scary for him. 

He's happy now though, and will be happy for the rest of his life, and that's all that matters. If you have your own heartwarming pet stories, come share them in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

We would like to take this moment to thank those who have recently adopted a pet, thanks to those who have adopted a pet in the past, and a thank you to those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You are the reason these beautiful animals have such wonderful lives. And, as always, a mega-huge-shout out to those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra care and love.

If you're anything like I was before I adopted a cat, you know three things: you loves cats, you want a cat, and you don't know the first thing about taking care of them. That shouldn't stop you from adopting a cat, not if you want to give it love and cuddles and the best life it can have.

Of course, you can always go on the internet and look for information about raising cats, that's what I did, but the information is scattered, and it can be hard to filter through what you really need to know and what you don't. Thankfully, carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory on tumblr decided to collect all the information that you need and put it in one place, creating the ultimate guide to cat adoption that will answer most, if not all, of your questions and make the process of getting a cat a much less scary one.

Happy Friday, everyone! And welcome to our original weekly segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! Each week, we are so overwhelmed by all the beautiful stories and faces that have been recently adopted and this week is no different. 

We would like to start off by saying thank you. Thank you to those who have recently adopted a pet, thanks to those who have adopted in the past, and a thank you to those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You are the reason these beautiful animals have such wonderful lives. And, as always, a mega-huge-shout out to those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra care and love. You are our forever heroes, we couldn't thank you enough for providing these animals with a second chance.

There's absolutely nothing worst than hearing a story about cruel abuse of pets, so when an unfortunate pet like that gets adopted and taken care of, we are all the more grateful. Everyone, say hi to Sweet Potato, a previously abused sweetheart who got adopted by a new veterinarian mom, went through surgery bravely like the hero he is, and got his broken leg fixed. And deservedly went viral on top of it all. 

We want to thank thecomfycat for sharing the story of Sweet Potato and for taking care of the little guy. We hope that he will have an easy and quick recovery after the surgery and that he will be happy with you for a long, long time. 

It's time for a big change in Earnie's life - a new sibling, a new baby, someone to love and mentor... right after hissing at it the customary two hundred and twenty seven times. Don't question it. That's the only responsible way to accept a new kitten into your home.

Cats, being relatives of some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, had to have gotten to the point of being house kitties somehow. Self-domestication seems to have been the way they did it- coming in and deciding that it's better to get pampered by these puny humans than to go through the hardships outside alone. And apparently, this act of domesticating oneself is not a thing of the past.

Everyone, say hi to Ghost, the cat who was born into a feral cat colony, walked into tchaikovsgay's life (and house) one day and simply never left. She's adorable, she had the cutest toof, she loves belly rubs, and we are probably almost as happy as she is for having found her forever home. 

Most times, you decide you're ready for a pet and that it's time to go out and finally get one. You prepare, you think of what you want, you look at pictures and learn, and then you hope that the one you choose will be happy to be with you. But other times... you don't get to choose. Sometimes, it's the pets that choose you. 

The little stories you're about to read are so heartwarming they'll make you melt. Thank you to imgur user Rammsteinstochter for collecting them. "Heartless" and "unfeeling" cats choosing the humans that they want to keep for themselves. "This one," the cats say. "I think this one is cute enough... and will give me food."

If you have any heart-meltingly cute stories of your own to share, come tell us about them in our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime.

Special needs cats are always a challenge to take care of. But for beautiful and terrified cats like Kyrie, finding a forever home is an extra challenge. As adrianontherocks, feline behaviorist imgur user, explains: a lot of times, with pretty cats such as these, the adopters will take them without being ready for the challenges ahead and return them not a month later. 

Luckily, Kyrie found the forever home he deserves. Not only that but ended up totally falling in love with his new adoptive family, and he even became best friends with the family dog! No ending could have been better, and we are overjoyed to hear about it and are thankful to adrianontherocks for not only taking care of Kyrie but also sharing his story!

Meet Sorsha, a hero that we are all going to be celebrating. She's a rescued dog who was cruelly shot by her previous owner, got adopted into the most loving forever home and, later in life, turned into a guide dog. Then, she outdid even herself by becoming an actual hero and saving her owner's life. 

After her owner fell on an icy road, the amazing dog ran in front of an oncoming car, grabbed her leash in her mouth and physically dragged her owner away from the path of the car, having never been trained for it.

We would like to thank Melissa Amos, one of ICanHasCheezburger's animal loving users for sharing her and Sorsha's stories with us. Continue reading her incredibly story and giving love to Sorsha below, and if you have your own stories to share, come tell us about them in our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime.
