Stray Black Kitten Climbs Up To New Dad’s Shoulder To Ask Him To Take Her Home

Nov 28, 2025byMichael Tremblay

Sometimes, the best love stories start when you least expect them.

That’s exactly what happened to a couple named Audrey and her boyfriend when a determined little black kitten decided she’d found her humans.

In a sweet video shared online, the stray kitten confidently climbed up the man’s shoulder, as if saying, “I’ve made my choice – take me home.”

It’s impossible not to smile watching this tiny cat charm her way into a new life.

With bright eyes and soft mews, she perched herself right beside her soon-to-be dad, showing trust and affection that melted hearts instantly.

Moments later, the couple knew they couldn’t leave her behind – she was coming home with them.

The Kitten Who Worked For Her Adoption

Commenters couldn’t get over how determined the kitten was to secure her new home.

“She worked hard to get adopted,” one viewer joked, while another added, “She knew she had to win Dad over first!”

It certainly seemed like love at first sight, and judging by the look on his face, Dad didn’t need much convincing.

Stories like this remind us how often rescue animals seem to “choose” their people.

Whether it’s a kitten climbing onto a shoulder or a dog resting their head in your lap, these moments are powerful signs of connection.

Sometimes, it’s less about us rescuing them – and more about them finding us.

Why Black Cats Deserve More Love

The timing of this adoption couldn’t have been more perfect.

October is a month filled with myths about black cats, but these superstitions couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, animal shelters report that black cats often get overlooked simply because of old-fashioned beliefs or their dark coloring not standing out in photos.

Commenters were quick to highlight this reality.

One user wrote, “No one realizes this, but black cats during October are treated the most terribly.”

Despite being just as loving and playful as any other cat, black cats often wait much longer to be adopted.

That’s what makes this story even more special.

This brave kitten didn’t let superstition stop her – she found the perfect home right when she needed it most.
