That shelter did the cruelest thing in separating these bonded cats. Cats are very social animals and need company.

Pro Tip: I know every situation is different, but if you're ever in a position to adopt 2 cats, adopting a bonded pair and keeping them together is one of the greatest gifts you can give. I adopted a pair of bonded brothers from the same shelter, and they are best buddies and they love and look after each other. I'd never DREAM of separating them. Same goes if you stumble upon a set of actual sibling cats.

Yoshi is the sweetest soul. He's so gentle and cuddling. Thank you for adopting him an giving him the best life. I hope Brooklyn ended up in a loving family just like Yoshi's.

I know we’re in a crisis right now, but if there are bonded pairs, shelters should be adamant that the pairs go together. The shelter really needs to put their foot down. They’re adorable cats. They would’ve been adopted right away if they had been given half a chance. Breaking up a bonded pair is so cruel.

I'm so disappointed that the shelter would allow bonded kitties to be adopted separately. Totally understand that the family could only take one cat, but breaking up a bonded pair... These kitties just have each other. So very happy that this worked out in the end.

So hard to see bonded pairs split up. Thank you so much for adopting Yoshi--you are both very special.

I hope Yoshi gets another housemate. Although I’m sure he misses his brother, another kitty would be great for his well being.

It could be but it could also be bad. Usually another cat works well but sometimes it can cause behavioral and territorial behavior in both cats. Especially with females. That being said he probably would be just fine Especially with how well he was already bonded to another cat. The issues I brought up typically occur in cats taken too early or solo orphans that are raised to adulthood without another cat and again it's mostly with female pairs versus all male or male and female pairs.

Sad that he had to be separated from his brother. He's like a big, striped baby. So sweet the way he hangs over your shoulder. Beautiful face.

Awe! It breaks my heart when I hear about sibling pets adopted separately. Glad you found this sweet boy.

Who does that, adopt only one of two bonded siblings? Almost 30 years ago, my husband wanted to adopt a boy and found out he had a brother, he didn't chose them as he didn't want to separate them. Instead he took their Mum, who was 5 and lived another 10 with us. Don't separate them when they are used to each other, it's so cruel.

Animal pairs that are already bonded shouldn't ever be separated.

Bonded pairs should never be split up. That breaks my heart, but how wonderful that you took him in. ❤

Bonded cats should always be adopted together. Caring for 2 doesn't require much more effort than caring for 1.

They should never brake up bonded pairs. We saw a litter where there were two grey tabby brother and sister kittens (about 3 months) who would always cuddle together. We adopted them, and over the last 6 years have taken them with us across cities, countries and continents and they are the best cats - so affectionate, lively, crazy, and happy.

I used to volunteer at a shelter and they were very careful about separating bonded pairs...if they really felt they wouldn't do well on their own, they wouldn't do it. However, in a few cases, they did adopt them out alone if they had been there a long time - adopting out two cats together is harder than just one - and someone wanted to adopt just one cat because they felt that it wasn't fair to keep at least one cat from the experience of having a family. I can see both viewpoints. But glad that Moshe ended up with such a beautiful, loving family...

Whether its dogs or cats or whatever bonded pair, I really believe they should stay together. This past week I adopted a kitten. I visited the shelter two times before I adopted. When I would visit there were a pair of kittens that were obviously bonded. The way they played and reacted to each other, I could tell they were a pair. I was interested in one of them. When I returned two days later, my plan was to adopt one of them, but hoping they had been adopted together. Sure enough, I asked about them, and was told they were adopted as a pair. Got another kitten & everybody won, including the two kittens that will remain together.

Animals bond with each other. I have had many animals. Dogs and even cats and they all bonded together. They feel grief or depression, just like humans do. When separated by an owner they bond with or another animal that they were close with. They feel separation and death. They most definitely feel it. I have personally had experience watching this first hand. I can use few examples. My animals were really close. When one passed, after that, they all passed one after another. There was some time in-between them, however, they all went one after another. I even observed their behaviour before they left and one can tell they were broken hearted. Then another case is my mother had a dog before she passed when he was a pup. She passed and disappeared from his life obviously. Then I took care of her and then he was ripped away from me. Not only did the dog lose my mother. She disappeared and didn't come back, but I was ripped out of her life and she didn't know if I would come back, too? Imagine the separation anxiety, depression, abandonment, and all the emotions one would feel if one were human? Of course, every situation is different. However, my dogs and cats were so bonded. They have emotions, mental, and spiritual health, just like humans do. My step father ripped her out of my life and doesn't tend to her emotional, mental and spiritual health and he wonders why she acts the way she does around him? When I see her, I heal her and calm her, yet he can't understand her emotional, mental, and spiritual health. I on the other hand can because I take care of my emotional, mental, and spiritual health, so I can understand hers. He on the other hand can't because he can't even understand himself. I am only going on my experiences only and not implying anyone else in this matter. Also, every situation is different, as I always state.

This cat was definitely missing his sibling never should be separated whenever you see a bonded pair better to adopt them in pairs, thankful for the lady who gave him a loving home. ❤️🙏🏼

I would have found it very difficult if not impossible to adopt Yoshi's brother without taking him too. Separation anxiety is very difficult for animals to deal with.

Despite the fact that you saved him you are very lucky to have such a cat. A lap cat is a rarity and a blessing. I got cat like this when I was 8 years old. He was my personal cat who went to the bathroom with me and so on. One more extra plus: he didn't go to the cat litter box but to the human toilet. He had been living with me until my 25 💜

You’re amazing for taking this gorgeous boy I wish you many happy days with your little one

This story brought tears to my eyes near the end. Not that it was sad but because it was so touching and sweet. I started to tear up when I saw the photos of the husband and Yoshi sleeping together. They’re blessed to have Yoshi, who seems so in tune with them. Yoshi is blessed to have been elected by the perfect parents. He seems so very content now ❤

Ohhhh, sweet Yoshi - I love that he packs one of his toys in Rachel's luggage when she goes away. He's thinking "I'm not taking any chances, this will keep her from forgetting me and remind her that I am back home, patiently waiting...💞

separating family that has bonded is a traumatic experience, it hurts them. good to see that Yoshi has a loving, human family.

I adored seeing him in your suitcase! I've lived that with a few of mine over the years

Taking away his friend and brother from him was just cruel. Bonded pairs are a package deal.

Rachel, I hope you will be able to adopt a new cat soon. You've been hurting for a very long time. While it's true that a different cat can't ever take your Yoshi's place, it can provide someone for you to focus on and shower with your love and attention. When any of my kitties have passed on, one of the most distressing things has been not having anyone to do things for: to feed, snuggle with, even clean up after. I wish you 😺 and peace.

What a shame that the two were separated. I once adopted a feral cat and went back to adopt her kitten as I did not know of the relationship. It helped with both for the duration of their lives.

What a sweet cat it's a shame that he was separated from his best friend but sometimes that's how things work out I guess but glad he has a real good home now❤

So, I don't have cats, but I think the smile on my lips went around my head and my heart. This is THE perfect match for this cat and this family!

I'm sorry they were separated but I'm glad you gave him a good home. Our first cats we had planned on getting two. My wife found a couple torties she liked and when I went to look at them their brother looked so lost as to why his sisters were getting attention and he wasn't. So I said, "but what about him", and we left with all three. Never regretted that. They were wonderful cats and he was such a friendly boy. This was in the mid 90's so they're all been gone now for many years but not a day goes by that I don't think of them.

I love the name Yoshi for a cat. He's so cool. I like the way that the lady carries him. I tried to do that with my cat it works once in awhile.❤❤
