This Teen Took Home What She Thought Was A Stray Kitten — Then The Owner Got In Touch

"You just adopted somebody's whole cat."

Meet Juliette Avitia, a 17-year-old student from Conroe, Texas.

Avitia told BuzzFeed News that she went to a party on Saturday night and saw a cat who appeared to be abandoned. So she took it home.

When she posted it on Snapchat, the owner got in touch to say it was his.

She tweeted about it.

A lot of people were pissed because they assumed she stole the cat.

But some people thought they would do the same.

Avitia says she spoke to the owner, and he said he didn't really want him and that she could keep it.

just to clarify since y’all love jumping to conclusions, i talked to the guy who owned the cat and he said he didn’t want him, that we could keep him and to take good care of him.....SO THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING WHORES

She said: "The guy who threw the party realized that it was his cat and we had a whole conversation about it and he told me he had been looking for him all morning.

"He ended up telling me that he was an outdoor cat but he didn’t really want him so we could keep him."

She said: "People were definitely taking it the wrong way thinking I stole the animal from his home, but that was not the case. I thought he was a stray."

She said she kept the cat and named him P.A. "It’s pronounced 'paw', but it stands for party animal."

Isn't he adorable? ❤️
