The Photo That Made Me a Cat Parent

I wasn’t planning on adopting a pet. I was just doomscrolling through rescue posts, convincing myself I was only looking. Then I saw it: a blurry photo of a kitten with one ear flopped over, staring straight into the camera like he’d just been caught plotting world domination. He looked like trouble. The kind of trouble that knocks over your coffee and chews your phone charger. But something about that little gremlin face got me. I sent the shelter a message before I could overthink it. Now, my days are filled with cat zoomies at 3am and finding toy mice in my shoes. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s wild how a single picture can change your life—and your sleep schedule—forever. Anyone else have a pet adoption story that started with a photo you just couldn’t ignore? #CatAdoption #PetRescue #AdoptDontShop #Pets #Cats
