This year is on the older side but it's so beautiful not to share. When Clara, the orangutan gave birth to baby Clarita, Clarita was kidnapped by a dominant male. At the Orangutan Jungle School, caretakers reintroduce Clara to her stolen baby but worry she will reject her.
But Clara was impatient and wanted to hold her baby, that much is obvious. Just looking into the eyes of this mother as she finally holds her baby... it's enough to make a grown man cry.
They're kind of all amazing, in their own crappy, adorable way.
Meet Hercule Van Wolfwinkle, the acclaimed pet portrait artist, who has come up with a creative and fun way to help raise money for the charity Turning Tides Ending Local Homelessness, a homelessness charity local to Hercule. The charity is described in the fundraising site as, " local charity that believe everyone has the right to a home, regardless of the difficulties and issues they may face in their lives. They believe in showing those who need their help, that the wider community are there to support them too!"

Happy International Rabbit Day! Usually celebrated on the last Saturday or Sunday of September, International Rabbit Day is about celebrating rabbits in all their cuteness, and celebrating all the joy they provide for this world! And, of course, to educate people on the protection and care of both domestic and wild rabbits.
Did you know that there are more than 30 species of rabbits around the world? Oh, you did? Then how about this odd fact, baby rabbits aren't called bunnies, they're actually called kittens of kits! How strange is that?
For those who need a low maintenance pet, rabbits are wonderful. They're even more independent than cats, don't make too much noise, easy to housetrain, and can bond well with their humans.
This one goes out to all you buns lovers out there! Hop right into this rabbit-loving gallery:
Hyenas can be super duper cute! And a hyena cub? Always cute.
Here's a mother who loves her baby and shows it by grooming and snuggling with the sweet cub. That moment when the cub flops down onto her.. endless squeals! Animal relationships with their mothers are just so gosh-darn special, we can hardly stand it.
If you look closely, it almost looks like the mom is sleeping throughout the whole video. As if our hearts could handle any more cuteness.
Things are looking up! It's officially Friday, we've reached Autumn, Halloween is near, and there are so many adopted faces of the week!
Our hearts can barely contain themselves from exploding, after seeing so many adorable adopted faces! We would like to thank all those who have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, or will be doing so in the future. These lovely faces wouldn't have a loving home without you.
And a special shout out to those who adopt any animal in need of special care or any senior animals, You guys are our heroes.
Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for -- get ready to meet the adopted faces of the week! And if you're planning to become a pet owner, please consider adopting and not shopping.

These adorable, and very squeaky, flamingos are on the go and they aren't stopping!
Last year, five baby flamingos learned how to walk at the Oregon Zoo, and it was the cutest. These 2-week-old "muffin-sized" chicks, were the first of the greater flamingo species to be hatched at the zoo.
Get ready, because we weren't prepared for this level of cuteness at that adorable little fluffy butt shake!
Chirp up, everyone! We know, it's the start of a new week, and that's always extremely difficult to acknowledge and accept. However, with this abundance of birb memes, we believe your inner spirit will take flight and will be rejuvenated with birby meme goodness.
Birb memes have definitely come a long way over the past years and have somehow climbed the animal meme list status. We would say that birb memes comfortably sit right on top besides cat and dog memes. You may feel otherwise but first, take a gander of the humorous memes and tweets below before making up your mind.
Let's see those Bengal fur babies! While it's no secret that we adore all cats, every so often we like to celebrate a certain breed and dedicate a whole gallery to that breed. We've dedicated galleries to tuxedo cats, calico cats, siamese, and more. This time, the Bengal cat is our star and we're all here to admire their shine and beauty!
Do you know how we always say black cats are house panthers? Well, Bengal cats are house leopard. Seriously, they are domestic cats with the coat of a wild cat. And they were bred to be that way. And just like leopards, they have an insane amount of energy, which results in them needed a lot of exercise and play.
Bengal cats are everywhere these days, and we can't help but paws and admire their obvious beauty. Here is a collection of pics, memes, and some vids to help us honor them! If you have a Bengal, share a pic in the comments below!
It's officially Autumn and the cat snaps have been growing so splendidly all year for the big harvest! We've been watering them, nourishing them, and even speaking to them in a calming, and loving voice.
Basically, we've been doing all things one does to help things grow until they're ripe for the plucking. And now the moment has come and we're preparing for a major cat snap feast. So, grab a plate and wait in line, we promise you're in for a delicious treat!
And if you missed last week's scrumptious treats, you're in luck! We've got leftovers!
Happy humpday everyone! Just think, you're halfway through the week and we're here to give you that extra push to get you to the weekend even sooner.
Cats. Nothing warms up our hearts more than seeing wholesome images of cats. Or images of cats being ridiculous and hilarious. Or just images of cats. They are all so beautiful and these cats all belong to someone who loves them to the moon and back. And beautiful of that overwhelming love we feel for them, it's always hard to say goodbye whenever they do leave us.
Besides these cats being so amazing and adorable, quite of few down below have sadly crossed over the rainbow bridge. We're here to appreciate all cats but also all those who have recently left. They may be gone but never forgotten.
Klarieke, a cat owner from Greece, has three adult cats: Jack, Louis, and Stavros. She and her family adopted Stavros just one year ago, Klarieke tells Love Meow, "Stavros lived on the streets and was very ill. He was rescued by a Dutch girl who stays in Zakynthos every summer. She was looking for a home (for the cat) in Holland, so we decided to adopt him."
"My husband and I said to each other, 'this is the last cat, three is enough," she added.
That is until Stavros befriended a stray kitten and brought that kitten home.

We were first introduced to this adorable orange kitten, Pixel, in the 'most dangerous kitten in the world' video. After realizing that title was dead on, being that Pixel is so overwhelmingly cute that he can kill us due to cuteness overload, we then saw this munchkin meet a baby chick and interact with it.
It's safe to say Pixel has stolen our hearts and has no plans on returning it.
And now, we have the pleasure of viewing the cutest naptime video of all, Pixel and baby chick. Soak it in, folks, it doesn't get any better than this.
Last week, we made it one hundred weeks of cuteness! And as a reward, we decided to keep the party going!

After scouring the internet for the cutest of the cute, we discovered this hearty and wholesome gallery below and deemed it fit enough to be presented to you. Enjoy!
They say a picture can say more than 1000 words, we say that a picture of a cat can hold an immeasurable amount of sass.
Cats are the epitome of sass. Don't think so? Then you've clearly never had or met a cat before. Cats are so unbelievably sassy, that 'Sassy' is actually a common cat name. You can see they're sassiness peaking through at all times, and sometimes you're able to capture an image that is pure sass. Prepare yourself because the following images below are so sassy, yet classy, that we have no choice but to admire them.
Make way, make way! We've got a sizable load of the newest doggo rates from everyone's favorite Twitter account, "We Rate Dogs," and yes, it's just as precious as ever.
When we think of the word "wholesomeness," it always goes hand in hand with "We Rate Dogs" Seriously. It's the ultimate uplifting source there is and we will never get enough of this delight platform. A world that's all about doggos and all the wonderful doggo things they do.
