Normally, we select our pets on our own. We learn everything we can about the breed we’re interested in, including its personality and how to care for it. Following that, we either visit a breeder to meet animals looking for a new home or visit adoption centers to meet animals that have lost their homes and are hoping to find a new loving family. However, things don’t always go as planned, and the decision to adopt a pet isn’t always ours to make.<\/p>\n

We at defused believe that fighting an animal’s choice of you as their human is futile. All that’s left for you to do now is love your new pet and spoil them, we just never have to stay alone.<\/p>\n

5. \u201c11 years ago a black cat, together with its babies, crossed my and my friends\u2019 path. I called them but they jumped into the bushes and only one kitten came up to me.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAt that moment I told my friends that if he lets me take him in my arms and if he is completely black, I\u2019ll take him home. He instantly agreed to come into my arms and turned out to be totally black. So I took this little sweetie home. It\u2019s already been 11 years since the smart and gorgeous Richard became a part of my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

7. \u201cHe was sitting near our fence and even though our dog had been barking at him the entire morning, he didn\u2019t leave. My husband doesn\u2019t like cats very much, but agreed to adopt this one without persuasion.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

8. \u201cI have been chasing the neighbors\u2019 cat out of our garden for the entire summer. Still, when the weather got colder, she started to sneak into our house through a small window and sleep with us.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI started to keep all the windows shut. But once, my husband and I left the house for a weekend and when we came back, we saw her sleeping in an armchair. It was all because I had left one small window in the greenhouse half-open. How did she manage to jump so high and open it? She won this fight and now she\u2019s our pet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

9. \u201cI was throwing out the garbage before going to work, when I suddenly heard a squeak in the street. It was 14\u00b0F outside. I went up to the garbage cans and saw these 2 muzzles.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI looked around to check and see where their mother was, but there was no one around. I stretched my arms to grab them, but seeing this the puppies started to cry, so I looked around once again but there was no one there. I don\u2019t know where my fear went, but I got brave, took them, and put them into my car \u2014 that\u2019s how our life together started. Now they are grown-up: the girl-doggy lives with us, the boy-doggy lives with our parents at their country house.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

16.\u201c3 years ago we found a dog at a gas station in February, the time of the most severe frosts. So we adopted her. One month later, she found a kitten in the bushes. It seems she\u2019s proud that she\u2019s also saved someone.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
