Kittens get adopted in the most bizarre ways sometimes.

Some adoption stories are a linear "found cat, he lives here now" narrative. Some other adoptions, though, are much more complex. And when it comes to the perplexingly silly events with this kitten's adoption process, it makes us think the Cat Distribution System really has a strange sense of humor. But also a good and big heart, of course. We love a successful adoption story, no matter the intricate plot, as long as a cat and a human both get their happy ending.

Let's start with the bizarre fact that this kitten was handled by a tomcat - very not typical. It wouldn't be the first "mama tomcat" who cares for kittens that we've heard about, but it's still weird that we've heard of two almost back to back. And both being big orange bois? Well, that's just a classic orange cat chaos, we assume. It follows them everywhere. Even if it's in the wholesome shape of a cute kitten.

And funnily enough, it's also not the first rural kitten find we've heard of this week. We recently brought you the story of a lethargic kitten in a rural area saved by a kind woman. And while this kitten below was not lethargic or sick (oh, thank gosh), it's still weird we have such similar elements of kitten adoption stories happening in the same week. We're telling you, the CDS has a very particular sense of humor.
