Pets need us, and we need them. Every single one of these critters deserves a chance at a loving family, a comfy bed, and a belly full of nutritious food. But unfortunately, there are millions of lonely animals sitting in shelters, waiting for their new heroes to open their doors (as well as their hearts!) and save them from hardship.
It’s truly amazing to see how much a little love can change the life of a neglected and abandoned pet. So our animal-loving team here at Bored Panda wants to celebrate these lovely misfits and the rescuers who invited them into their forever homes. We continue our monthly feature filled with undeniably heartwarming pictures of recently adopted companions that are bound to melt your heart away.
Let’s restore our faith in humanity and give a round of applause to pets who got the care they deserve, shall we? Enjoy scrolling through this soul-healing list and upvote the pictures you enjoyed most! Keep reading to also find an in-depth interview with Sally Chamberlain, a UK-based clinical animal behaviorist.

Just Rescued This Girl Today. Alone Living On Firewood, Crying For Days, Infested With Fleas. Her Comfy, Safe, Flea Free Sleep! Look At Those Teeth!
Approximately 6.3 million companion animals are up for adoption in the US every year. Not only does rescuing an abandoned pet mean giving them a second chance at life, but it also frees up the much-needed space in the shelter where organizations can actually help other animals in need. While saving more than one life is extremely fulfilling, this decision should not be something you take lightly.
To learn more about key factors people need to consider before giving a mistreated animal a new loving home, we reached out to UK-based clinical animal behaviorist Sally Chamberlain, who specializes in cats. The founder of Karma Paws Pet Care and author of Power Of The Purr explained that providing a forever home to a pet is a huge commitment.
According to her, potential adopters need to ask themselves if they can offer these animals the time, money, commitment, and knowledge of the species they’re adopting to help them get used to their new environment. "Just like any other kind of commitment, they will need to take the rough with the smooth," she added. After all, our four-legged friends can become ill and need medical care. "They also have constant needs that have to be met on a regular basis, such as a reliable routine, food, water, flea and worm treatments, grooming, a safe place to sleep and enrichment such as play and going for a walk, amongst many other things."

I'll Never understand how some people can abuse and abandon an innocent animal, when all they want is our love ! 🥺
Another factor to consider is whether that animal will be suited to live in a domestic home, especially a busy one with other pets and young children. "Sensitive and nervous animals may not cope with this lifestyle," Chamberlain added. "Also, animals can also experience behavior problems. When they start aging, their behavior may change and they become more susceptible to disease and require more regular veterinary check-ups. Giving a forever home to a pet can be very rewarding but there is also the emotional factor to consider because not many animals will outlive us and we have to be prepared to make difficult decisions towards the end of their lives. The welfare of the animal always needs to come first."

i can't get enough of bird rescue news! i feel like birds always get neglected and abandoned bc they're not the "usual" pets and can't show emotion or reciprocate as obviously as cats or dogs would. as someone w two insane budgies and an arsenal of knowledge about bird care and bird behaviour, i can't tell u how gratifying and amazing it is to see animals as flighty and anxious as birds start recognising and trusting u. like most birds, budgies are massively family/flock oriented and will make u their mama when they trust u. my birbs are free to fly around my giant room all day and come flapping upon hearing my voice when i return from work. they're not into too much physical affection like holding and cuddling but they're literally obsessed w their mama to the point that i've placed floating shelves all over for them to perch bc they follow me to wherever i sit. i have one right above my bed and there's two crazies sat there singing and peering over the edge to watch me type this😂

This Poor Old Boy Had Been At The Shelter For A While And I Couldn't Take It Anymore, So I Adopted Him 2 Days Ago And He's Been Thanking Me Every Second Since
Sandra Morison 3 years ago
So many people ignore older cats but they are usually more settled and cuddly
Izzy 3 years ago
exactly! i volunteer at the shelter network in my area and am a fosterer, mostly for the most scared, anxious cats bc of my experience from years of cat care. most adopters want a calm, quiet cat that'll sit around for pets all day. yet, despite our direction, they always insist on the untrained, energetic, loud, boisterous little ones? the older ones are fully potty trained, love to laze around day n night, r used to human handling, jus want endless scritches and affection, don't mind being picked up, have far less zoomies etc. plus, as sad and morbid as it is, a huge portion of adopters underestimate the commitment. older cats are less worry abt that given their remaining life span is much smaller. sadly we end up with so many fails and returns bc the kitty they overrode our advice for meows too much, peed in the room, scratched furniture, needed too much care and attention etc -- aka all the stuff we warned about. seems to be some weird aversion to older ones? to their detriment:(

Still, Chamberlain pointed out that giving a new life to a neglected pet is a wonderful thing to do — "animals can give us so much love." But preparing to take in a new companion is far from an easy task. There are many potential pitfalls with pet ownership people may fail to anticipate. Luckily for us, they can be avoided with research that helps us ensure we become suitable parents to the pets we choose.
"Specific things to focus on are understanding why that particular pet was rescued and how their needs can now be met so that they can flourish and enjoy life again," the animal behaviorist told us. "This may mean giving them space when they first come home so that they can settle in and get used to their new living environment without too much human interaction. If they have any medical or behavioral problems, it is essential to get support for these through the vets or rescue organization. Whilst it’s important to remember any issues the pet may have because of the situation they have come from, it is also important to focus on the future and give them everything they need to start over again."

When considering rescuing a pet, Chamberlain strongly advised against looking on social media or shady websites. Instead, she recommended doing proper research and having a support network from a reputable animal rescue charity. The professionals who work there can help people navigate the process and make sure they can offer these animals a good home.
"This will minimize the risk of taking on a sick animal or one with behavioral problems that are difficult to live with. A reputable charity will have obtained as much background information about the animal as they can and will also carry out an interview with potential adopters to ensure they can offer a suitable home for that particular animal and are ready for the commitment," Chamberlain explained.

Moreover, reliable shelters will offer post-adoption support, "especially if the animal has a known medical or behavioral problem." She added that some charities provide the opportunity for people to foster pets with a view to eventually adopting them. "[This] often leads to a successful adoption, but if things don't work out, the animal still has a good chance of being adopted into a different loving home."

I totally agree. I can't have cats anymore (deathly allergic) but my dog is a Velcro dog. Due to severe trauma as a child, I generally don't like anyone near me a whole lot... But you find a way to make it work. You don't return somebody for that. You teach boundaries. My dog knows that "move" means he can be on/near my legs and feet right now but not wrapped around my head or lying cheek to cheek.

Obviously those people are idiots. "Too affectionate" is not a real thing!
The animal behaviorist noted that in the UK, the main animal rescue charities are the RSPCA, Blue Cross, Cats Protection, and Dogs Trust. In the USA, the leading organization is the ASPCA (American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Plus, you can look into the credible local charities in your area where dozens of pets are looking for a new home.

Oh, sure, she looks cute now, but that expression tells me she plans to consume your soul once she gets a little bigger. Don't resist.
If a lost animal has graced your home, Chamberlain mentioned a few things we need to know. "Most cats or dogs now have microchips so asking a vet or rescue charity to check for this will be the first step, as will looking on lost pets websites and social media pages for any matches. Asking around your neighborhood and putting up 'pet found' posters is also recommended."
However, she suggested being careful. "You must ensure that any person who comes forward is really the genuine owner of the animal. In many cases, no owner is found, and like with our own cat, Monty, you may have adopted a rescue animal without even trying."
"We never found Monty’s owner when he turned up thirteen years ago and he’s still living with us today," she continued. "If you do decide to adopt the animal directly, arranging for them to be neutered and vaccinated is essential for welfare reasons."

How adorable. I'm sure when you get those pics it lights up your whole day.
Animal behaviorist Chamberlain pointed out that the most important part of adopting a rescue animal is making sure that you are a good match. Then you can be certain you will meet their needs. "But also to try and leave a bit of emotion out of the decision and think logically.”
"The animal will need lots of love, but it is important to be realistic about what you might be taking on. A good rescue organization will talk you through this decision-making process. Taking on a sick pet or one with behavioral issues is even more of a big commitment when it comes to rescuing animals. But [if you] adopt them through the right channels, such as a rescue charity, you are setting yourselves up for success. There are no guarantees with anything, but giving a rescue animal a second chance can change your life and theirs for the better," Chamberlain concluded.

I wouldn't call them posers. Posers are pretentious, fake people. Those are beautiful cats.
Emily 3 years ago
I think she meant posers as in they are posing (like "look at that cute pose my cat is in!").

I absolutely LOVE calicoes! Not only are they beautiful but they are definitely wired wrong! LOL!
Emily 3 years ago
Wired "wrong"? By that you mean wired different. Not all cats are wired the same, same with humans and probably all other animals

"them" is a gramatically correct way to talk about someone whose gender you're not sure about.

Keep trying with the treats. Buy small bags at first, so you don’t waste money. Once she settles on her favorites, then buy the larger bags.

We Adopted These Three Little Musketeers. Still Figuring Out Their Names, Any Ideas?
Colorado Mountains 3 years ago
Name 'em after the 3 musketeers. Athos, Porthos & Aramis. Or maybe months, flowers, astrological or something from a favorite book. Super cute!
Kathryn Baylis 3 years ago (edited)
Winken, Blinken, and Nod. Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Luke, Leia, and Han. Any combo of the names from Friends (but the cat you name Phoebe is not required to be smelly). Larry, Moe, and either Curly or Shemp if they’re all boys. Groucho, Harpo, and Chico also if they’re all boys. April, May, and June if they’re all girls. Faith, Hope, and Charity if they’re all girls. That’s just off the top of my head. TBH, just go by the cats’ individual personalities, and be sure they answer to the name you choose, if they don’t, then call names out until someone responds to it—-basically choosing it all one their own.

I'm sorry, but this list made me more sad than anything. So many puppies and kittens. Those get adopted right away, if you really want to make a difference in an animals life adopt an elderly dog or cat. No one wants those and they are doomed to spend the rest of their life alone and in a tiny cage. When I am at a better point in my life, I will adopt my dogs (unfortunately I can't do cats, I'm highly allergic) from the shelter, but l only elderly ones. So they can live the rest of their lives happy and loved.

I agree. Rescue is a pet no one wants. Baby animals are pretty easy to find homes for.

Have 5 cats ar 2 houses. Didn't chose any of them, they just came to us and stayed. Not really adoption but surley a rescue. We have been batlers for about a dozzen stray cat by now. And half a dozzen found home for. In the country side much of them are living their lives without their humans. But there are always people feeding them.
