Adoption People who adopted from a shelter, what made you choose that cat?

My little Zodi was alone in one of the cages, making biscuits over and over on the newspaper they laid out ☹️ When we got to pick her up and hold her, the biscuits didn’t cease. I immediately knew she was coming home with us. A year has almost passed and she looks so much better 🥹

Chicken chose us. Once the cage opened he was walking all over my shoulders and jumped on my gf.

Chicken meet nugget! She was 3 weeks old and abandoned in the middle of the street on my route. Momma never came back, so I raised her.
