With yet another month coming to an end, it’s time to pay tribute to the people who have given shelter or stray critters a chance at a happy life; welcome to Bored Panda’s December edition of adorable adopted pets of the month.
Choosing to ‘adopt not shop’, these individuals have provided a forever home to animals of all sorts and ages, and, judging by the pictures, they seem to be adjusting just fine. Scroll down to find their pictures on the list below and get ready for some awww-dorable content; but beware, you might start considering adopting one yourself.
Seeking to learn more about what’s to be expected upon bringing the newest addition to the family home, Bored Panda got in touch with an award-winning author and animal behavior expert, Zazie Todd, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You will find her thoughts in the text below.

Just Adopted This Little Grey Lady

“Adopting from a good shelter or rescue is a great way to find a new pet. Many pets end up in shelters through no fault of their own and can be wonderful pets,” animal behavior expert Zazie Todd told Bored Panda in a recent interview, adding that good shelters and rescues tend to offer behavioral advice if needed, and might even take the pet back if things don't work out for some reason.
“Adopting also means that you are not supporting puppy or kitten mills, which sometimes have very poor conditions. Research shows that puppies who originate from puppy mills are more likely to have some behavior issues than if they came from a responsible breeder,” she added.
“If you decide to get a puppy from a breeder, check them out very carefully and try to see the puppy with the mom so that you know they are being raised in good conditions. A good breeder will ask you lots of questions to make sure you are a good fit for one of their pets, and they will also tell you what they are doing to socialize their puppies or kittens. If somewhere that calls itself a rescue seems to always have a good supply of puppies of many different breeds, ask yourself if they are really a rescue.”

Is He Really That Ugly? Gonna Adopt Him!!
I'm planning on adopting this absolute cutie from a shelter. He is so gentle and a loving doggo I love him so much. I showed his pictures to my family and friends and everyone said that he is so ugly and cripply that I should adopt a "normal" dog. Call me a snowflake but this saddens me so much that I even cried how people can be like this... He is two years old, and one of his ears is a little bit bigger than the other, so it always hangs down while the other is always perked up. I can't agree with them that he is ugly... In my eyes, he is the cutest and loveliest doggie I have ever seen. (Of course, all the dogs in my eyes are as cute as him).

I’ll bet some of your friends or family might be considered ugly or cripply but that didn’t stop you from loving them. Godspeed to you and your new best friend.

Missy Corron 1 year ago
Eyes that look with love only ever see beauty! That is one gorgeous puppa and YOU look sooo beautiful to him!
The expert pointed out that when bringing home a new adult dog, one shouldn’t assume that they have been house trained, so it’s better to set them up in an area where it will be easy to clean up any messes.
“The way to house train them is to take them outside often enough that they do all of their toileting outside, and reward them with treats and happy talk when they pee or poop outside. If they go inside the house, don't tell them off; just clean it up using an enzyme cleaner, and make a note to take them outside more often in the future,” she suggested.

When I adopted my very first cat, I specifically looked for a black ones since I know how hated and avoided they are. (Not that I ignored any that warmed up to me, I just gravitated toward the black kitties and worked with them first). That's how I got my current long-haired void, Ramses (who named himself), 16 years old and still going strong. 👍😸

She already trusts you. The belly is exposed and that's a wonderful sign.
Whether it’s an adult dog, a tiny kitten, or some other pet completely, bringing it to a new home is a big adjustment, which is why it might take a little while for a new pet to settle in. “We know it's their forever home, but they don't know it yet—that takes time,” Todd pointed out.
“Because this is a stressful time for any new pet, it helps to make things as low-key as possible. Don't invite family and friends over to meet the new pet until they've had some time to settle in. Have a routine and try to stick to it over those first few days and weeks. For cats, it's important to have one room set up with everything they need, and wait until they are settled and comfortable in that room before giving them access to the rest of the house.”

Debra Newell 1 year ago
Thank you for continuing to hold the little head while the kitty slept. Very kind of you.
When it comes to cats, having the forever home set up right from the feline’s perspective gives them more opportunities to engage in normal cat behavior and to be themselves. “If the home environment isn’t right, they may get bored and stressed, and in turn this can lead to behavior issues,” the author of numerous books on animal behavior pointed out.
“Cats like their home to have hiding spaces and places high up where they can perch. They need to have sturdy, tall (or long) scratching posts. They also need you to put some thought into where you put their resources, like the litter box and their food, and this is especially important if you have more than one cat because cats don’t really like to share.”

According to the expert, other factors that can significantly influence cat behavior in their new home are their personality and the way you as the owner interact with them.
“Every cat has their own individual personality; some cats are bold and friendly, whereas others are more shy. It's important to know the personality of your cat,” Zazie Todd told Bored Panda. “If they are shy, give them space and help them feel safe. If they are a cat who loves lap time, make sure they have opportunities to sit on your lap. Some cats prefer to be near you instead but not cuddled up and that’s okay too.
“The way you interact with your cat also affects their behavior. Give your cat choices whenever you can, such as the choice of whether or not to be petted, and whether or not to come out from the cat condo to meet a new person in your home.
“Play is also important to cats, so if you engage in interactive play with them with a wand toy every day, it helps them to engage in normal feline behavior—in this case, predatory behavior as they chase the toy—and that’s great fun as well as being good for them.”

A Colleague Rescued Her After A Heavy Rain, And I Decided To Adopt Her As My First Cat 3 Weeks Ago. This Is How She Looks Now. Her Name Is Stormy

Awww, that's the name my son have his little void. Well, her common name, to mortals she is Princess Stormy Poopy Pants the Behbehest Bebeh to have ever Bebehed.
It’s important to note, though, that for cat owners, not everything about the newest addition to the family depends on the environment or the owner’s personal input. That’s because many of the feline’s character traits depend on their early experiences as kittens, as they have a sensitive period for socialization between two and seven weeks.
“If kittens have positive experiences with multiple people during this time, they are more likely to grow up to be friendly towards different people and more confident with people as adults,” Todd explained.
“Genetics also plays a role, of course. But later experiences also help to shape your cat’s character. For example, if stressful things happen then they may become nervous or fearful, so try to protect them from stressful events if possible,” she added.

Adoption Day For Daisy
Daya Meyer 1 year ago
Such a cutie! But please don't let her run free while driving. Bring her home safely.
Lauren S 1 year ago
I was worried about that too. The only time I ever had a loose cat in my car was when I was moving in my town. Our fluffy girl cat had crawled her way into the box spring to get away from all the people helping us move. She rode in the enclosed trailer in the box spring, silent as can be. As soon as I got to the new house and walked past the box spring you hear this tiny little “mew” like “mom, is that you? I’m terrified help!!” I ripped open the box spring (which in hindsight wasn’t a great idea but in the moment all I wanted was to get her out now). We weren’t ready to stay in our new house so she had to ride back home in my car, my mom trying to hold her. She got out of her arms three different times and each time we pulled over to pick her back up. It would have been better for me to hold her and my mom to drive but my mom was too nervous. In the end, all was well. She loved her new home, more room for zoomies, but there was a bit of a learning curve with all the tile.

We Adopted A Kitten 2 Weeks Ago…

Load More Replies... Mary Peace 1 year ago
You adopted the kitten and brought her(?) home, at which point the dog adopted her. If you want a kitten, you'll have to get another one.
Those who’ve never owned a feline before might be taken by surprise by some of their behavior; their ability to sleep in the weirdest positions, for instance, or the inexplicable draw to cardboard boxes. Some of that relates to the fact that cats are both the predator and the prey at once. “That’s why cats like to have somewhere safe where they can hide, sleep, or just chill out. Cardboard boxes are often the perfect size to be somewhere that the cat feels safe,” Todd explained.
“Cats also like to be warm and that explains some of the other places they pick, such as in a cozy pile of laundry in the washing basket or in the linen cupboard,” she added. “Some cats are also very curious and exploratory and they just like to see what’s there, so they will go exploring in all the nooks and crannies of your home.”

“Learn all you can about cat behavior so that you understand your cat better,” the animal behaviorist suggested to anyone who’s looking to bring a feline into the family. “Take a look around your home and see what you can do to set it up for your kitty so that it’s even better (for example, creating a hiding place in every room, getting good scratching posts, making sure to scoop the litter at least once a day). And think about giving your cat positive experiences, such as play time and companionship with you.
“Ensuring your cat has the best life is not just about providing the minimum of food and water and a roof over their head, but also making sure they have plenty of positive experiences and the opportunity to do normal cat things.”

I adopted two orange kitties 4 1/2 years ago. They act like brothers even though they are not. I took Dexter to the vet today because he peed outside the boxes, right in front of me 4 times in two weeks. I'm glad that I did because he was trying to tell me something. He has stones in his bladder. Surgery is scheduled for 8am Tuesday. That and a new diet should fix the problem. Wish us luck. UPDATE: Dexter is happy to be home. He had 9 stones in his bladder.

I adopted two rescue/feral tabbies (a boy and girl) 12 and 13 years, respectively, after my very first adoption of a long-haired void from the local Humane Society. The tabbies act like blood siblings - fighting one minute, making up and playing together the next - and both of them absolutely adore their older brother.

Kittens that age can learn to drink on their own. If they can stand they can drink. Put them right up to a bowl full of milk replacement, dip your finger in and they will lick it (do this when they are really hungry) then move your finger closer to the milk replacement until they are drinking. They learn Very fast.

We Adopted Two Kittens!

So precious! Because of genetics, orange tabbies are mostly male and calicos are mostly female.
Insono 1 year ago
Yes but unlike many people think, orange tabby females are not rare at all with about 1 in 5 oranfe tabbies being female. A male calico however is very rare since males can genetically normally only carry 2 colors. So since calicos are 3 colors that means males have a genetic defect which also causes them to be infertile.

He doesn't like that box; he'd much rather be in your lap, it seems like.

Finally someone who don't give a s**t for black dogs. Some people really think they bring bad luck and are bad beings. Will never understand.

Adopted A Week Ago And Already At Home!

Gorgeous! And massive thumbs up to adopting. Just want to mention, the collar on your furry snowball looks loose and might catch on something? If it's not a breakaway I'd hate for you to have a horrible tragedy. (Mine, when he was a tiny kitten in his first few days settling in, managed to get inside my wardrobe, I assume navigate the shelving, climb onto the hanging rail, and get hung-up around a hanger. It WAS a breakaway, and for kitten weights, but I nearly had heart failure when I found it.)

I Adopted This Cute Babies Today And The Shelter Claimed They Had "A Bit Of Diarrhea But Since They Changed Their Food It Was Better". They Already Pooped A Million Times. And It Smells Like Death

If this turns into an ongoing thing, consult the vet about giving them Psyllium husk powder in their food. 1/2 tsp a day can help bind things together. My cat with IBS has gone from 10 episodes of dairrhea a day to two fairly solid poops. Both of us are much happier. I also recommend a silica cat litter, I like tigerino with lavender.

Advice For Newly Adopted Heeler Pup
My fiancé has always wanted a puppy, and we live up in the mountains so i new i needed a puppy that’s smart and won’t run away. I adopted a 4 month old heeler puppy for him. they LOVE eachother. immediately they became best friends. But she’s a little trouble maker. We taught her a few commands like sit. But the issue we have is her with my cats. she wants to play with them so bad. we tell her to sit and she does but she has her eyes fixed on them. my cats love her but she’s a puppy so she’s to rough! does anyone know how to control her fixation with my cats? or at least show her to be gentle?

I've learned that if you can exhaust them, it cuts down on their energy level and they will focus on you much better. A pooped out pup is a happy pup.

My husband hated cats. Found one in our work car park, didn't want it hit by a car and thinking it jumped out of a co workers truck cuz we work in the middle of nowhere I insisted we take it home. That was 2 yrs ago. She is his "sweet girl" and we had to adopt 2 other cats (& a puppy) so she wouldn't be lonely while we r at work. I know I can't save them all but even one saved is better than doing nothing. My husband now has pictures of our animals on his desk next to pics of our children

Just adopted a kitty. He was my feral foster. His two sisters did great but he just never got used to people. Was scheduled to be euthanized and I couldn't let that happen to him.

The CDS gave me a kitten on 12/12. He only has one functioning eye, he's very small, and he is black - so his name is Sammy Davis Jr.
