It's a mystery why people adopt pets and then abandon them. But it's not for today to ponder the diabolical prowess that comes with human nature, today is just to appreciate the adorable adoption stories that make the cat world go round.
When you adopt an animal, you're responsible for them. Sometimes it may feel easy to disregard, or to look at the adorable eyes of a puppy or kitten and think to yourself, "I want one." But like any big decision, there should be a lot of real and grounded thoughts to regulate whether you choose to do that or not. Adopting an animal is a big decision, and not one to be taken lightly. You need to consider your day to day, and the needs of the pet. In the story below, someone didn't do their part to consider, and when they figured they couldn't handle having a cat anymore they also didn't do the responsible thing by giving the cat to someone else, they just abandoned the cat.
But luckily, and maybe as a cosmic act of contrition, a couple found the little polite orange cat wandering the desert alone. She had the clear signs of once being a pet, and though they already have four cats at home they decided a fifth was necessary. Welcome Penny into her new home, and always try to you your best to do what's best not just for you but for those around you.
