Pay it forward

This is Vincent, a one-eared cat. A Redditor was going to adopt him and announced it on Reddit. An anonymous Redditor found his post and paid Vincent’s adoption fees. The only payment he wanted from Vincent’s dad was to pay it forward. Wow.

Just adopted

At last!

This shelter dog has finally been adopted. He’s so happy, he just had to celebrate!

No more waiting

This adorable little cat has been at the shelter for over six months and was the only one who wasn’t adopted at an adoption event. It’s probably because he was waiting for his new humans who adopted him with open, loving arms. They didn’t care if he was missing an ear, just had dental surgery and had a few bald patches. He was perfect for them.

He’s a warm boy now

They called him Stinky Boy at first because he was wet from the rain. Now, he’s just a warm and fuzzy boy, who gets to snuggle under all the blankets he wants.

Two hours later…

Simon was the runt of the litter and everyone ignored him. This human did her best to get him adopted when she realized two hours later that she should adopt him! Simon is now going home.

Living her best life

This is Vera and she used to live in a house where she was abused and beaten. Plus she was tied to a barbwire around her neck. She was rescued from that monstrous place and now lives in a home where she is loved, cuddled, and happy.

The look of love

This is the look he gives when he knows he’s never going to be cold or hungry ever again.

A little more time

Not every cat will cuddle up immediately. Some of them will be like this one who will hide and be far away from you. There will be one day though when he will warm up to you, just like this cat. One day, his human was having a bad day and he appeared to allow his human to pet him. Progress.

Soulmates

Fellow amputees

Best decision made

Who loves his dog?

This is Bun Jovi and Abel. They’re the best of friends and they love to cuddle while napping.

The look

It’s hard to find an adopter for an animal with health issues but when they do find one, they are the most loving humans to these animals. This cat has ear issues and requires regular ear cleaning. His humans don’t mind doing it for him and this is the look of gratitude he has for them. He might look like he’s mad but he’s actually thankful.

Sister cuddles

Cats rescuing cats

Sometimes, you don’t need to worry if your cat will get along with a new cat. Sometimes, your cat will adopt your new cat.

It all happened so fast!

They went to the shelter to adopt an orange cat. Just then, a woman came in with her orange cat. Her cat couldn’t live with her anymore because her dogs were terrorizing him. They named him Frank.

Breaking habits

We are so glad her human adopted her. She was initially bought from a breeder and dumped at her human’s co-worker’s house, who has never owned or wanted a cat. This cute little kitty had to fend for herself every time she wanted food because her previous human never gave her food. Now, she doesn’t have to worry about food anymore. Although her human needs to train her to stop scavenging for food.

Busting myths

If you thought feral cats are not affectionate, this cat will change your mind.

The new human called the previous owner who took Ziggy back but Ziggy returned. The previous owner never came back and Ziggy has been living with his new human ever since.

Sun lover

From hoarders

Little Stinker

Love-hate
