A newlywed couple planned to adopt a cat during their honeymoon, but they came home with two, who had come from opposite sides of the city.

Danny, an orange-and-white cat, and Wolfie, a long-haired, big tabby, once roamed different corners of the city. They had never crossed paths until one couple changed everything.
Danny's story began when his family moved away, leaving him behind. Confused and alone, he lingered around his old home, greeting strangers with meows. Despite his ordeal, he remained friendly, approached anyone who might offer some affection.
"A kind neighbor named Danny fed him daily and begged us to help before it was too late," Little Wanderers NYC shared.

Rescue volunteers acted quickly, securing a foster home so they could get Danny off the streets for good. With the community's support, he no longer had to fend for himself or survive on scraps.
"He is the sweetest orange tabby—the kind of cat who melts into your arms the moment you pick him up."

Danny was overjoyed to have a roof over his head and to know he'd never go hungry again. Always eager for affection, he'd run to his humans when called, filling the space with his deep, rumbling purrs. "His adorable meow and healthy appetite are just icing on the cake."
Meanwhile, across town, a long-haired brown tabby with a lion's mane and white-tipped paws also turned up on the streets.

Wolfie, as rescuers named him, was a gentle giant who clearly didn't belong outside. Volunteers from Little Wanderers NYC scooped him up and placed him in foster care. With safety and comfort at last, his personality began to shine.
"One moment he's batting a toy around, the next he's curled up on the couch watching cartoons with you."

Wolfie turned out to be a big boy with an even bigger heart. "He's built like a linebacker but has the heart of a teddy bear. His confidence has grown beautifully in foster care. He loves people, naps, and a good window view."
"He doesn't realize how big he is, so timid animals might get overwhelmed, but he means well and just wants to make friends."

While Danny and Wolfie thrived in their separate foster homes, fate was quietly working to bring them together.
That's when a honeymooning couple came into the picture. They wanted to start their married life by giving a rescue cat a forever home. When they contacted Little Wanderers NYC, they fully expected to choose just one.

But soon, they found themselves smitten with Danny, the affectionate cuddle bug, and equally charmed by Wolfie, the oversized teddy bear.
"I remember joking to my husband, 'What if we ended up with both Wolfie and Danny? That'd be crazy, right?'" the adopter said.

That "crazy" idea soon turned into reality. The couple welcomed Danny and Wolfie into their new home. The two cats immediately hit it off, as if they'd been waiting for each other all along.
"They became best buds so fast, so I'm glad we took them together. They're already play-fighting and happy to be together."

Danny and Wolfie came from opposite sides of the city, each surviving the streets on their own.
Now, they're inseparable brothers, living their best lives with the humans who adore them—a dream come true.
