With a special emphasis on the benefits and joys of adopting abandoned and rescue cats, these loving stories will amaze you and put a smile on your face. Most of them will make you laugh out loud, some will make you tear up a little, and others will have you nodding your head in recognition, as you see your own cat in a new light.
