50 Adoption Pics From April That May Turn Those Blues Away For Just A Second
Interview With Expert
One of the best decisions you can make in life is opening up your home and heart to animals in need. If you have the means to take care of a pet that’s found its way to your local shelter, you’re giving the animal another chance at a happy life. In return, you get a friend for life.
We wanted to remind you that there are so many kindhearted people out there, so Bored Panda has collected lots of wholesome and heartwarming photos of people’s newly adopted pets from the internet this April. Scroll down for a big dose of cuteness and to restore your faith in humanity a little bit.
Bored Panda got in touch with the team at PDSA, the UK's largest veterinary charity, for advice about helping new pets settle in at home, as well as what potential costs you might be looking at.

I've Waited My Whole Life To Get A Kitten

OP has years of joy and happiness ahead of them, living with this soft little clown. They always make us feel good when we’ve had a bad day, because we are the center of their little universes. My animals are at the center of mine. The center of your universe should not be a tiny space that can only fit one or two people in it. Don’t be stingy or too exclusive with it. The center of your universe should, be big, with more than enough room for anyone and everyone who’s important to you to fit comfortably—-with plenty of spare room for new arrivals.

Introducing Biscuit & Waffle
Multa Nocte 1 year ago
Oh dear. This reminds me of my two adopted girls (sisters) that were a year old yesterday, although mine aren't this floofy. My littlest one had a mammary tumour I found last week which has since been removed and we are waiting for the biopsy results. Wish us both luck because I don't know what I'll do if something is wrong with my little one.

Adopted Out A Brown Cat
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
If they’re a Havana Brown Cat, they’re very rare. They could be a black cat whose fur is fading to brown (I think it’s called rusting) as they get to be a senior. My Jack is a black cat. He’s 10, almost 11, and some of his black fur is fading to a dark brown color. Guess the answer hinges on the cat’s age here.
