‘I guess I have a cat now’: Person brings a cat home for a quick TNR, but the warm feline refuses to leave his new comfy bed, so the human is left with no choice but to adopt him

We, as cat people, try to help as many cats as we can. We have our own cats, of course, but if we come across a cat in need on the street, even if we know that we won’t be able to adopt it ourselves, we still bring it in. We foster it until we find it the furrever home that it deserves. Usually. Usually, that’s how it happens. Other times, the cats have their own plans. Don’t you know the saying “man plans and cats laugh”? It’s true. And that’s how foster fails happen. It’s how you end up with… way more cats than you planned on having. 

And it’s what happened here. This person never intended to adopt the kitty that they rescued. They just wanted to bring it in for a quick trap-neuter-return to help them out in their life, but once the kitty was there, in the warmth, surrounded by comfy beds and blankets, it did not want to leave again. And so the human was left with no choice but to adopt him.
