Life isn’t always easy.
We all know this and animals have to go through similar things to us. In some cases, they have it worse than us. Especially when people adopt an animal and then can’t take proper care of their pet. That is why we always say that not everyone is supposed to be a pet owner. Don’t get me wrong, pets are scientifically proven to make us generally happier but that doesn’t automatically mean that we deserve them.
There have been so many cases where people abandoned their pets after it got too hard to take care of them. Now I am not going to shame everyone as sometimes people have a valid reason to leave their pet but one should never abandon them. It is usually better to leave them at a shelter or try to get them adopted. Thankfully, so many animals do find their forever home after going through these circumstances.
Scroll below to see some of these lucky animals.
#1 This is Ahsoka and she was supposed to be shy but it seems she got over it.
When I adopted Ahsoka, I was told that she’d hide and avoid me. But after about 3 hours, she came to me and did this.
#2 Artemis is the best cat guard I have ever seen.
This is Artemis, a cat I have recently adopted. When I eat, she just sits near me and tries not to beg. She allows me to brush her and always guards me when I shower.
#3 He was just adopted and he already looks so happy.
#4 Cats don’t sleep on everyone this way. It is a great privilege.
When I first adopted Bug, he’d only sleep on the opposite end of the couch. Now, he has no concept of personal space. I’ve done everything so he could forget about how hard his life used to be.
#5 This shows what a little bit of love can do for a life.
#6 Lily didn’t use to have a good owner but now she is living life to the fullest.
#7 When the kitten you just adopted settles in really easily.
#8 Cats sure do love to find a spot perfect for the sunshine.
Yesterday, I took him from a house where another 13 cats live, and this is him today. I already can’t imagine my life without him.
#9 A cat actually sleeping on her bed? This must be a miracle.
This 14-year-old blind baby enjoying the best cat bed she has ever had in her life. I wasn’t going to adopt such an adult cat, but she was brought back to the shelter twice.
#10 Peppe looks quite excited about her new home.
I understand that these stories will warm anyone’s heart but that doesn’t mean you should go out right now and adopt a pet. Having a pet can be a pretty big responsibility and not everyone is up to the task. This is why so many animals end up back on the streets or in the shelters even after they got adopted for the first time. Many people take advantage of these animals since they don’t really have a voice so I hope humanity can do better in the future.
#11 ‘What are you doing hooman?’
The cat I saved recently saw me in the bathtub for the first time. I found him crying out in the rain and took him home. He was covered in matted fur, and I had to completely shave off his fur on his back legs, sides, and his stomach.
#12 Both of these pictures look like completely different cats.
#13 Just look at that big smile!
#14 Who could say no to this face?
My dad, who has never been a dog person, adopted this old man today. He said that he couldn’t allow this dog to stay alone at his old age.
#15 That is the look of pure love.
#16 Cats sometimes love cuddling up with their hooman.
I adopted this guy and his brother 3 weeks ago. He hid under a chair for the first couple of days, but now, he sleeps with me every night.
#17 Cooper went from being scared to happy and proud.
We adopted Cooper from an animal shelter in February. Just have a look at how he has changed.
#18 Arietty apparently acts more like a dog than a cat.
#19 You know your cat trusts you when they fall asleep in your arms.
This kitten was left alone and we decided to save him. As soon as we brought him home, he fell asleep in my arms.
#20 She has such a beautiful smile.
