A couple adopts a kitten as a companion for their cat Whist, but a surprise call from the shelter soon turns their plans upside down.

Already the proud owners of Whist, they visited the Lewis County Humane Society in New York to adopt. There, they met Fifi, a sweet kitten just a few months old.

She quickly won their hearts and was soon settling into her new home.

An unexpected twist

At first, Whist and Fifi had very different personalities, but a tentative bond began to form. With time, the couple believed they would become close companions.

Just days later, the shelter contacted them with surprising news: Fifi had arrived with her mother, who had since been adopted but was now returned. Her name was Fiona, and she was back at the shelter.

The couple agreed to foster Fiona temporarily to see how she fit in with the household.

A heartwarming reunion

Fifi and Fiona’s reunion was calm at first, but their bond quickly became clear. The two cats showed a natural connection that deeply moved their adopters.

Within days, it became clear Fiona belonged with them too. The couple decided to make her stay permanent.

Their plan to adopt one kitten had unexpectedly grown into a family of three cats and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

@talesofwhist We are now a household of 3! 🐈 All of our girls are shelter cats. Whist was the first to join our family, followed by Fifi a year later. Shortly after bringing Fifi home, we heard that her mom (Fiona) had been returned to the shelter by her other adopters. So, back we went! Truthfully, we weren't sure if having 3 cats was going to work for us, so we fostered Fiona for a week before making it official. The bond this mother/daughter duo shares warms my heart every time I look at them and it was obvious Fiona needed to stay. 💗 Having 3 cats is definitely a lot of work, but they are so worth it! #rescuecat #animalshelter #adoptdontshop #cutecats ♬ Ordinary (Wedding Version) - Alex Warren
