Nirina enthusiastically shared how she and her family finally decided to add a new furry family member. She admitted that she tried to hold back but failed.

"I tried to hold back, but this time it seems my defenses crumbled, so in the end, we adopted a cat that is aaaaah so cute and captured our family's hearts," she said when met in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Thursday (3/7/2025).

1. Not a Purebred Cat

The cat she just adopted is not a purebred cat with a special lineage, but rather a domestic cat or what is often called a village cat. Nirina even joked a bit about this designation.

"According to the owner, it’s a village cat. Domestic, right? It’s sad to call a cat a village cat, really sad. A domestic cat means there’s really no special breed or anything like that," she explained.

2. Easy Adoption Process

The adoption process was very easy and without complicated requirements. According to Nirina, the previous owner had indeed intended to let the cat go for adoption if someone was interested.

"No, if this one has complicated requirements, it’s because they have, I mean pedigree, they have special documents or whatever. But this one really has an owner who owns the cat," she said.

3. Spontaneous Adoption

This adoption moment happened spontaneously. After she, her husband, and their child interacted with the cat at a café, the child suddenly suggested bringing it home.

"Suddenly I don't know why, that day felt really like touching it, then my child also held it, then my husband was filming everything, and then it just came up from my child like 'let's take it home'," reminisced Nirina.

One of the most memorable experiences was when she rescued a cat she named Flick. That moment happened while she and her family were taking a break during a cycling activity.

"Then there was one we adopted, I don't know why I remember this one named Flick, he was really a cat, I don't know why we feelin' in love, at that time we were cycling," she reminisced.

Flick's condition at that time was very concerning. However, there was a strange bond that made Nirina feel she had to help him.

"At that time, he was really a cat, thin, scrawny, his eyes were already in bad shape, but for some reason (when called) suddenly he came, like 'huh, why did he come?'," said Nirina.

7. United by Destiny

Without a second thought, Nirina immediately put the cat into her bicycle bag and took it home. That moment felt like a destiny for her.

"Finally, there was a bag on my bike, suddenly, 'come along, kid', then I put it in the bag, it came out like that, and then, while biking, its hand was just sticking out like that, well, it was meant to be," she recounted.

8. Cat Care System

To manage her dozens of cats, Nirina has her own system. She divides the area for her cats to keep them comfortable.

"Taking care of them, Alhamdulillah, I mean, it's divided so there are cats downstairs, and there are cats in the room," she concluded.
