A woman who took her husband to an adoption event with no intention of taking in an animal has charmed the internet after one kitty caught their eye.
The owner who uses the Instagram handle (@nala.meetsworld) shared an adorable montage of her adopted orange kitten Lylla to commemorate her homecoming one year ago.
"Can you believe it's been a whole year with crazy, silly, hilarious, adorable, goofy Lylla girl in our lives? We love her so much," she shared on Instagram in a reel which amassed 71, 550 likes.

The montage of the kitty growing up included: Lylla in her cat carrier as they took her home, standing on her back legs at the toilet and spinning around in circles.
"She loved going everywhere with us. It seemed like she was growing every day in front of our eyes. She is so silly."
"And a trouble maker. But we love her just the way she is.
"Happy gotcha day Lylla. You're the best impulse purchase we've ever made," the proud owner wrote on the text overlaying the footage.
Lylla is part of a big furry family including cats Nala, Diggie, Ivy, Olivier, Peach, and Nora.
Her dog siblings are Riley and Wesley.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, each year, around 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters across the United States. This figure includes approximately 3.1 million dogs and 3.2 million cats.

Tragically, about 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized annually, comprising 390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats.
Approximately 4.1 million shelter animals find homes through adoption each year, with 2 million dogs and 2.1 million cats benefiting from this outcome.
Commenters teased the owner that she knew all along she was coming home with a cat.
"Going with the intention of never getting one is a lie that we tell ourselves," said Lila Rodrigues.
"With no intention to get one. It's like when I walk into a plant store," joked Zeruda.
Others congratulated the kitty for her one-year anniversary.
"Happy Gotcha Day to you, Lylla. God bless you," one user commented.
"Isn't it wonderful to have a furry animal to love and be loved by them. They make us so happy," said Sherry.
"Such a sweetheart! I love all of your kitties and dogs," another user commented.
