Cat Instantly Adopts Rescued Kitten as Its Own

On October 22nd, 2025, a cat owner made a heartwarming discovery when they found a stray kitten and introduced it to their own pet. Contrary to the common belief that cats can be wary of new additions to the household, this feline friend immediately embraced the newcomer, displaying strong maternal instincts.

The owner shared the touching moment on Reddit, where the post quickly gained attention and praise from fellow users. "Love it when cats just decide the baby is theirs," one person commented, while another described the situation as "a beautiful happening." Others suggested potential names for the new kitten, with "Oreo" and "Blaze" emerging as popular options.

The RSPCA advises that when introducing a new pet to the home, it's important to allow the animals to become accustomed to each other's scents before the physical meeting. However, in this case, the cat seemed to have skipped that step, readily accepting the stray kitten as its own.

As of October 24th, 2025, the owner has not yet decided on a name for the new addition to the family, but it's clear that the cat has already welcomed the kitten with open paws, providing a loving and nurturing environment for the newcomer.
