Unsubscribing from our emails? We get it, your inbox is a sacred place. But before you go, we'll ask the important question: "Did you adopt a pet?"
If you did, you can now share your happy ending and inspire other humans to get adopted by a furry overlord of their own. Your success story might just convince someone else that yes, they DO need that third cat.
Because nothing says "I found my soulmate" quite like unsubscribing from pet alerts.
