Patches the cat found his human when a boy came to the shelter for a cat on his birthday. “Surprised my 10 year old today on his birthday by letting him bring home a cat from the shelter. His cat was the runt of the litter, shy, and timid. When asked why he picked that cat he said ‘I don’t know, he just seemed so special.’ I think they were meant for each other,” said the dad via reddit.
Even though he doesn’t say it, you can tell he loves Patches…
And Patches loves him too.

Aww! You can see the bond between them in these photos. Patches clearly loves his human. Just look at that big smile! Bless this boy and his dad for rescuing this cat from the shelter. What a wonderful birthday present! I can tell that Patches is very grateful to be in a home in which he is so loved.
LOVE
Makes the heart smile ☺♥
What a great, goodhearted kid. And what wonderful parents for giving him such an incredible birthday gift. Giving your child a pet and adopting from a shelter, means you are giving so much more – the importance of love, compassion, responsibility, and utter joy!
These are such sweet pictures!
i can see this cat has already made this boy very gentle
Thanks mom and dad for letting your son pick out his birthday present at the shelter. I bet they will be friends forever.
Aaaw. Special kitty found his special human boy. May they have many happy years together . <3
that last picture says it all!
Love a man that loves a cat!!!
A boy and his cat — very sweet.
Togetherness
So sweet. Many happy years together!
The last picture melts my heart!
So precious… I rescued a litter of very young kittens myself around my last highschool year and kept the one that was unlikely to make it through my human bottle feeding education for no other reason that I thought he was “special” too
12 years later now, that cat is my baby, he’s my pride and joy, we know each other very well and have the most amazing bond
I don’t like children – at all. But in the first image, the look on the faces of both of them shows love. I hope they have a lot of happy years together. And thank you for the rescue of a shelter kitten.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON’T NEED WORDS!!!!
SWEEEET!!!!
LOOKS LIKE MY MADDIE!!!!
YOU ROCK FOR RESCUING/ADOPTING!!!!!
