Is there really anything better than a healthy dose of wholesome animals lighting up your screen? Probably not!
So, whether you’re grabbing lunch, relaxing at home, or just procrastinating (no judgment here), take a few minutes to enjoy these cute critters we’ve gathered from all corners of the web. And while you’re at it, don’t miss our chat with Sonia, a volunteer at ACSA, a cat shelter in Canada, who contributed some of these heartwarming pics.

I Got A Cat For My Dog After She Got Anxiety After An Incident And They Became Instant Soulmates
Dogs gorgeous eyes and fluffy ears wuth cats mustache make an excellent pair
I feed a feral cat that has a similar mustache. I call her Kitler when she slaps me whilst feeding or Priscilla when she does not. And yes I have cat igloos for both her and her buddy, Puddy Tat, he never slaps me.
That's great. Most cats aren't afraid of anything. And if they somehow wind up being afraid they sure know how to avoid that (while keeping face).
If there’s one thing that rivals looking at adorable animal photos, it’s spending time with them in person. Sonia, a dedicated volunteer at Adoption Chats Sans Abri (ACSA), a cat shelter in Canada, knows this joy firsthand. Regularly involved at the shelter, she also shares snapshots of the cats she cares for on Reddit. Bored Panda got in touch with Sonia to learn more about her experiences.
After moving back to Quebec City, where ACSA is located, Sonia felt a pull to help out. “I walked in front of the shelter a couple of times before finally deciding to step in and volunteer,” she explains. “Now, I’m usually there twice a week. It’s really good for my self-esteem. It’s also hard to feel depressed when you’re in a room full of kittens.”
Kiddo Had A Rough Day At School, And Then I Caught This
Animals who love us just tune into us and our vibes, so they know right away when weâre down. Bet you anything the dog followed the boy out onto the stairs without being told to, and sat down to spend time just being with him to let him know his dog will always love him, and be there for him, no matter what.
Perhaps the shepherd should be his escort at school? Nobody would likely mess with him...
Animals are so much more than we know!! We gotta love every one of them!!

They pride themselves on being an ethical shelter, only resorting to euthanasia in cases of severe medical issues. Their mission extends beyond care, aiming to raise awareness about responsible adoption and the importance of sterilization.

Yup. That's not even a picture intended to show the sex, but you can still tell very easily. It's also extremely easy to identify the females when they're nursing, because their teats will be very obvious. Can't find a picture of her standing up, but it's still really easy to identify her as a she. IMG_7745-6...2aa7e1.jpg
We had one for years. She would run from several houses down the street to get to the house when somebody came home. She loved windmill cookies. When it was time for her to die, she came back to the house and would lay on the porch with us. She died right in front of the house and was buried with the other family pets.

Sonia frequently updates social media on the progress of the cats under ACSA’s care. Her photos feature kitties getting plenty of pets, receiving treatments, and playfully roaming the shelter. “We specialize in feral cats, and people love seeing their transformation on Facebook, so I started sharing them here on Reddit,” she says. “The feedback has been amazing, so I try to post each day.”

My cat lies down in front of the door and tries to "block" me from leaving. And when I try to pick her up and move her away, she bites.
My Henri sees me preparing to leave and starts meowing like a newborn kitten. She's 2 1/2.

My Boy When Asking For Treats. How Could I Resist That Adorable Smile?
“There are so many cats in shelters. I don’t understand why people would intentionally breed more cats just because they look a certain way” Sonia points out. “Adoption is the way to go—you don’t ‘buy’ a cat. Yes, there’s a fee, but it hardly covers the costs we’ve put into caring for each one.”

Sadly, while adopting from shelters is widely considered the ethical choice, many shelters are facing a crisis. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, adoption rates soared as people sought companionship during lockdowns. Some shelters even emptied out as animals were adopted at record rates. But that wave of enthusiasm was short-lived, and shelters are now overwhelmed again as more animals come in than go out.

In the U.S., during 2020, when adoption rates spiked, 2% more animals left shelters than arrived, according to Shelter Animals Count. However, by 2021, that figure reversed—2% more animals entered shelters than left. In 2022, the gap widened to 4%. While that may not seem like much, each percentage point represents tens of thousands of animals.

One Of My First Pictures Of My Rat, Crescent, vs. A More Recent One. She Still Has The Cutest Face
My first rat, Chance, was a fantastic animal. Would come running from the other room when you called his name, was so smart he figured out how to unlock the cage door letting all the rats out so I had to start padlocking it at night, would curl up on my chest while i watched TV, and curled up in my hood asleep while I did household chores or went out shopping. You were the awesomest little guy, miss you buddy, never saw your style in another rat again.
That's so cute <3 it's a shame they only live such a short time :(
Load More Replies...I love mice and rats. I mean in a pet sort of way that is. So darn cute.
Shelters have become overcrowded, partly because of lifestyle changes that came with the end of lockdowns. Pets who spent months indoors with their owners around suddenly had to adjust when people returned to their normal routines outside the house. This stress led to behavioral issues that many struggled to manage. For instance, dog owners reported challenges as their pets adapted to being left alone or reintroduced to public spaces. As a result, some decided to return their pets to shelters.

Is This A Good Guard-Dog?
I think he's a Malamute. They look a lot like Huskies, but they are more fluffy đ„°
Load More Replies...Yes, he is. Keeps guard if any cuddles and belly scratches come around the corner. Never misses one!
Animals know who the good people are, and will let them pet their bellies. They also know who the bad people are, and will bite them hard anywhere theyâre able to latch on (even âthereâ, oh hell yeah they will), and not let go.
Despite the pandemic being behind us, shelters are still facing the issue of being overfilled, even years later.
“When I first started 9 years ago, we always had open spaces in our shelter. Now we fill spaces within about 90 seconds,” says Natalie Thomson, chief communications officer of Stray Rescue of St. Louis (SRSL). “Saying ‘no’ to an animal in need is one of the hardest things in the world, but when there is physically no place to put them, you have to.”

Space isn’t the only concern—shelters also struggle with funding. Providing medical care, food, and toys for the animals is expensive, and many shelters, like ACSA, rely heavily on donations to keep going. “I don’t mention it often on Reddit, but we survive on donations, the sale of cat food and litter, and fundraising events,” Sonia admits.

If adopting isn’t an option for you, there are still plenty of ways to help. Donating or volunteering at a shelter like Sonia does can make a huge difference. Each interaction brings joy to the animals and helps them find homes faster, while every financial contribution ensures they’re well cared for and given the love they deserve.

My Dog (Standard Poodle) Smiles Every Time I Come Back Home. He Has Been Smiling Ever Since He Was 6 Months Old. The Vet Said She Never Saw A Dog Smile This Big! Such A Sweet Puppy
In 2000, I was doing a side gig with Census. Went to a house not far from mine, went to the door, knocked, no one home. In that case you put the forms in a bag and hang on the door k**b. After doing that, I turned around...HUGE Rottweiler (must have been under the deck) standing there showing his teeth, oddly enough, not growling. "oh c**p" I thought, and dropped my hands by my sides. Big goofball came up and nuzzled my R hand. Big dope was smiling at me I learned later, when I met the folks' daughter in law.
I used to walk a JRT who smiled one day. I praised her and gave her a treat. I'd say, "Smile for me, Abby" and she would. Her dad thought it was great.
Our standard would do that too; they are smart dogs. I mean we do it to them all the time - show our teeth. In the animal kingdom that usually a sign of aggression.

My Cousin Told Her Horse To Smile
I remember pulling up next to a horse trailer at a red light. The horse was looking out the side window, and when I turned to look at them, we caught eyes. I had the biggest smile on my face, and suddenly the horse opened its mouth in what looked like a big grin too, like they were trying to make the same face back. For all I know, they couldâve just been letting out a big satisfying fart, but I like to think a horse smiled back at me because itâs a lot cooler than a fart face.

How It Started vs. How Itâs Going
We Have A Garage, Which Is To Store Old Motorcycles And Unused Stuff. However, We Found This In Our Garage
3 weeks ago I was searching for some screws and hammers when I saw that a bird had made a small nest on a pipe that I had rolled and hung on a hook. The place wasn't very illuminated, so I couldn't see if there was a bird or not. When I took a closer look, this bird saw me and flew away. I thought I might've scared her and she wouldn't come back, so I went away. When I came back after 3 days, that bird was sitting there quietly. I didn't approach her, or she might fly away again. A week later she had laid eggs and was waiting for them to hatch. Cut to again a week later (or maybe a week ago from today), the eggs had hatched, and these were two little cuties that were looking at me. This makes me so happy, I can't explain.
We had a pair of bird build a nest in an old bucket that was in our garage. Propped the garage door open just enough for them to fly in and out while they were nesting then sitting on their eggs, and after they hatched, while their babies were growing. Once the babies left the nest, the parents followed, and the garage door was shut. Wonder if theyâll be coming back next year. We also have a pair of finches who nest up under the eaves of our porch roof every spring, and a pair of hummingbirdsâ-well actually, it seems there are three, two males who constantly fight each other, and one female, so maybe a rather contentious mĂ©nage a trois?â-who build a nest every summer in our honeysuckle, which is so old the vines have become a really sturdy, sweet smelling, and very bushy tree.
I think they are red-whiskered bulbuls, I did an image search with Google Lens

Even a huge snapping turtle the size of a platter, who was just so ungrateful, he strained to extend his neck enough to clamp down hard on my wrist, and I was being so careful to keep my arms and hands away from his mouth. Drew blood and everything. I still have the scars, though theyâve faded a lot. Even after that, Iâm STILL âthat weirdoâ who saves turtles. I also rescue black rat snakes and get them to the side of the road (I find a stick to pick them up with). But not enough of a weirdo to even get out of the car for a copperhead. Nope, no way.
