What a sweet baby. I really wish people wouldn't separate bonded animals and that shelters wouldn't allow it. Find a different cat. It's so hard on them when this happens. Thankfully, sweet Yoshi found a kind mommy to love on him.

[@ArabianConjure]

Most shelters don’t allow it. You either take them both or you don’t adopt either. I’m confused why this shelter allowed that

[@bossmare1480]

I was going to say the same thing about shelters or rescues. Any of the ones I know in my region/municipality never separate bonded pairs. 💕💕💕

[@billblaski9523]

​@@ArabianConjureonly thing I can think is if the animals have been at the shelter for a long time and it's that time so they will just let them be separated if it means an higher chance to be adopted. But these looked like 2 young cats so I don't know what the case was here😢

[@patrickobrien8851]

One has to assume that there was a good reason, but mistakes also do occur. Very glad that Yoshi has found such a good home.

Bonded cats should never be separated. Very fortunate that Yoshi was able to accept a new bond.

[@thomas1942]

That's how i ended up with 3 siblings the first time, and then a pair of brothers (there was a third, but he was gone when i got them). Totally agree, bonded pairs+ should not be seperated.

[@keepthepeacesharethelove7022]

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

[@RedShipsofSpainAgain]

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.

[@GlammyBee]

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.

[@kiko7247]

[@liketanyanot]

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.

[@mirandarebecca3646]

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

[@QueenCeleste2]

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

[@shadowdancer2131]

[@jroysims44]

Thank you, Rachel. You gave a champion a home. You saved the world.

[@gd.523]

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

[@JP-rb1js]

I totally agree! We had a single kitten for a few months and took a chance on getting an another kitten for him. I have never seen two cats love each other more than they do. Two cats are better than one 😊

[@666Daheretic]

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.

[@CatsAndDogsAreBetterThanPeople]

Awwww! He packs his toy for her when she travels! It's his way of saying, "Don't forget me, Mom! Here's something to remember me by until you get home!' ❤

[@dingo1666]

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.

[@wetsponge175]

I'm surprised the shelter let that happen.

[@LarcR]

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

[@righteous-roots]

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

[@elquixotedelascanarias]

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.

[@suzy1750]

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...

[@muffs55mercury61]

I had to board my two that I had some years ago and one started howling and wouldn't quit. When they called me and told me about it I told them to put them together. End of problem. I never intended for them to separate them for the 10 days I was gone. I cut the vacation short by three days.

[@AdelineCowgirl]

People who adopt one animal of a bonded pair are selfish and cruel. Just because an animal "can" survive and even thrive after being separated doesn't make it ok.

[@michellelowe7082]

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

[@lem4100]

He really loves affection. I'm glad he has the two of you. Since you travel, he has your husband for the cuddling! So sweet.

[@rogers6168]

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.

[@batarasiagian9635]

I agree. This was the best result.

[@billblaski9523]

Wtf? You say you believe animals should stay together but then tell an anecdote of how you were only gonna adopt 1 animal from a bonded pair? Maybe the Xanax I took is impairing my reading ability cus you wouldn't have commented something so idiotic, so if that's the case I apologize

[@gwaeron8630]

@@billblaski9523 Nope you read it right.

[@rogers6168]

@@billblaski9523 Hey dingbat, yeah you read it right. And the odds of me changing my mind to not adopting one of the two was very strong. If I was so adamant about adopting just one, I would have done so the first day I was there. But I did not, hoping the two were a package deal. In the grand scheme of things, the two got adopted & I got another cat. That's three kittens/cats whose lives were saved. So, hopefully you do not OD on the Xanax you are taking. Ahh, maybe it would be better if you did.

[@amconscious733]

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.

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 💜

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

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.
