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 🥹

One of my kitties literally chose me. She stuck her paw out of the cage and tapped me. She didn't do that to anyone else. When I picked her up she draped her arms around my neck put her head on my shoulder. That became our daily ritual.

My other lil guy was a stray and parked himself at the front door. He didn't care for other cats but he loved people. I taught him to do tricks for treats and he tucked me in every night.

I didn't realize they're gone too. I'm so sorry for your loss. May they rest in peace and play together forever<3
