adoption

Every adopted pet has a start to their journey. The adjustment to a new home, a new family, a new life - it all takes a lot of effort. We, as owners who adopt with the best of intentions, never really know what that adjustment feels like to our pets. 

Well, allow this adopted cat to explain to you exactly what it feels like. 

Welcome to Meowmoirs - the diary of a cat.

His name is Earnie, he's an older cat, and he's been up for adoption for a little while now. But the day has finally come, and he's found a new forever home. Except, does it feel like a forever home to him?

It wouldn't feel like Friday if we didn't share with you the newly adopted faces of the week! 

So many newly adopted faces each week, our hearts are constantly bursting due to the overwhelming cuteness and love! A huge thank you to those you have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, or will adopt in the future. You are changing the lives of these animals for the better forever. 

And, of course, a special shout out to those who adopted animals that require special care and attention, and those who adopted senior animals. Seriously, we love you guys. 

Without further ado, we bring the faces you've been waiting to meet! 

We're not crying -- you're crying! 

This is beyond heartwarming! Imagine growing up, feeling/looking different than others, and the moment you go to an adoption center to find your new best friend - they look like you. 

That's exactly what happened when sweet 2-year-old Bentley meet his new puppy. Bentley had already had surgeries for the cleft lip and it isn't even noticeable today. Yet, he came across a puppy that reminded him of himself, and they instantly fell in love with each other. 

The Jackson County Animal Shelter, Michigan, shared this beautiful moment between Bentley and his new puppy on their Facebook, which went viral and racked up 33k shares. 

We wish this perfect pair all the best and many years of love and joy ahead of them! 

Welcome back to our weekly segment of the adopted faces of the week! Once again, we would like to wholeheartedly thank those who adopted in the past, are adopting now, or will adopt in the future! And of course, a special shout out to those who have decided to adopt any senior animal, giving them a second chance at life. You guys are the real MVPs. 

If you are planning on adopting in the future, please consider adopting and not shopping. So many little faces are in need of a home! 

We absolutely adore seeing all these happy faces in their new forever home. If you missed out on last week's adopted faces, look no further! 

We hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend! 

It's not crazy if it works, right? 

Twitter user, Christopher Doyle, shared with the Twitterverse on August 25th, 2020, that his daughter made a PowerPoint presentation in hopes of convincing her parents to adopt a cat. 

Her PowerPoint presentation hits a lot of excellent points, such as the pros of getting a cat, how she was promised a hamster five years ago and never received one, and overall, just how happy it would make her. Three excellent points, indeed. And after the overwhelming response on Twitter, Christopher Doyle shared an image of a cat adoption slip! That's right -- his daughter is finally getting a cat! 

Congratulations to Christopher Doyle's daughter, and family, a cat is a wonderful addition always. 

Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to our favorite weekly feel-good stories -- adopted faces of the week! And this week we are featuring a bunch of newly adopted one-eyed beauties! Thanks to those who saw these precious babies and gave them a chance.

We love seeing animals finally finding their forever homes, especially older animals who have less of a chance of being adopted. We would like to thank all those who have adopted in the past, adopting in the present, and will adopt in the future. You all are our heroes. 

Start the weekend off in the best way possible, by seeing these loving pets faces and how happy they are to have a home. 

Love is so incredibly powerful. It can transform anyone and anything, with the proper TLC (tender, love, and care). 

Whenever we come across a before and after images of a neglected animal and the transformation to healthy and happy -- we can't help but get emotional. Do be warned though, some of the 'before' images are quite graphic. We're just so happy someone got them in time to help be their true and best selves. 

We love all adopted faces, and we wish all those lovely animals a loving and happy forever home.

Our favorite segment of the week, and the only proper way to ring in the weekend -- the newly adopted faces of the week! We love seeing all the animals going or already at their forever homes. We want this for all animals and that's why it's important to adopt, and not shop. 

So many beauties are waiting for all our help. We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone and anyone who has adopted in the past and will adopt in the future. And a special thank you to those who adopt the older animals in the shelter. You are all heroes, to us. 

If you missed out on last week's adopted faces, you can catch up here! Trust us, you don't want to miss a single adopted face, they're all so beautiful. 

It's the time again, our favorite part of Friday is gathering up all these beautiful newly adopted faces (young and old) and sharing them with all of you. We're just so happy to see so many pets find their forever loving home, there's nothing better than that.

A special shoutout to those who have adopted a senior pet, giving it a second chance at life. You guys are our heroes.
