The experience of adopting a cat is always unique. Even though they share many traits, every cat is distinctive, and each cat adds something special to our lives.

Each cat adoption story is unique in its own way. Some cats come to us on their own, while others are rescued from shelters.

A cat may decide that it's time to stop living outdoors and start receiving attention from some people. Once a cat makes that decision, there is no turning back; it is now time for the cat to select its human.

Here are a ton of heartwarming tales about cats who choose to adopt people over the other way around. That particular type of adoption story is one of our favorites.

They always make our hearts feel warm and fuzzy because of something especially kind and special about them. When cats choose humans, they probably have good reasons for that.

We all know that cats behave in amusing ways, and they frequently choose their masters (or slaves) based on their preferences. Some cats use their soothing purring and the intimidating power of the Puss in Boots stare to woo potential adopters.

Others might intrude and make use of your pillow as a bed. Whatever the method is, we love them.

Let's take a look at the most heartwarming people adoption stories:

"Found Lenox cause..."

"Found Lenox cause he would always rub against me whenever I would walk by the parking lot of Lenox Avenue. Finally took him to the vet and found out 1) he actually is chipped and the previous owner is not answering the vets calls , and 2) he was actually a girl the entire time 3) she is now mine"

"My darling Finley..."

"My darling Finley who followed me home on a night I came home crying and lonely. After a little bit of kitty time, I tried to go inside, and he walked in the door and flopped on my rug.

It's now his house. (Yes, I had him checked for a chip and vet-checked and officially adopted him.)"

"Pokey appeared and walked into my house..."

"Pokey appeared and walked into my house around the start of 2015, and was most likely left behind by some neighbors who moved away. She was cold, scared, and in urgent need of food and love.

She's been with me through break ups, college, and marriage, and I would die for her."

"This was not our cat..."

"This was not our cat, she appeared on our deck and followed us inside. We posted online and checked for a chip no one answered and she has no chip.

She never tries to get back outside and is now our cat."

"After 6 months of home invasions and finding her everywhere, the neighbors agreed she stay with us going forward."

"Stray cat adopted my dog so I guess she lives here now."

"I had a mama cat bring her three babies to me about a month and a half ago. They are now my cats."

"This cat kept putting himself in a humane trap every day at an old abandoned train station. Nowmycat 2 years later"

"I moved in with his mama a year ago. Now he won’t cuddle with anyone else. Guess he’s NowMyCat"

"Showed up in my parents backyard..."

"Showed up in my parents backyard almost two years ago and so starved I could almost touch my fingers together under his spine. Reddit, meet O'Malley the Alley Cat, eater of fingers and king of lounging on his back with his junk on display"

"She walked into my garage in 2020, ended up falling in love. She was only worth a flat screen to the prev owner, she is priceless to me now!"

"This 13 pound boy..."

"This 13 pound boy showed up on my porch this winter. I looked for his parents (without success) and took him to the vet for bloodwork and his asthma attacks.

I've been adopted. His name is Bihan"

"My sweet boy, Cooper. Walked through the back door, sat on the sofa, and never left"

"Not my cat..."

"Not my cat has now become my cat. Decided to name him Toast after he spent 2 hours sleeping on my couch.

Headbutt my hand yesterday and let me scratch his head. Seems to like the little nook I set up for him today."

"This little one came into my house, and has been hanging around our block for awhile. Now I have a bunch of cat toys...."

A pet cat can be obtained in a variety of ways, including through breeders, adoption from a shelter, selection from a pet store, or even inheritance. A cute cat can also be yours if the animal chooses you, which is another option.

Therefore, if you ever wake up from sleep to the sound of crashes at four in the morning or hear loud meowing noises, you now have a cat! Congratulations!
