Truly came right on time. Posted about her a couple weeks ago. She found when I was taking a walk around my neighborhood & followed me home. She’s so sweet & affectionate. All she wants is love & space to get her zoomies out. She got her first set of shots & will be following up soon for boosters & microchip ! I will get her spayed but she really won’t be an outdoor kitty. She’s now ) months & I gave her the birthday March 31 (so we can be Aries together 🔥). We take the longest naps & she’s always there, right by my side. I love you Silva, my princess & precious. Thank you for adopting me & calling me your own.

That’s all. Have a great weekend. 💕

...in hopes that I'll find the portal to get one of my own. I sit in my car to smoke and I keep snacks just in case it finally happens. This was not a cat..

I almost instinctively got out to feed it cuz I didn't have my glasses on but the patterning was off from the cat I usually follow around. I sat there and watched this skunk poke about and run underneath the church next door. I need not a skunk portal 😰

I'm being very patient as I had to tell my ex to take our cat since he had very bad separation anxiety and I wouldn't be able to stand watching him looking for my ex, knowing that ex should not have access to me going forward.

I miss my Sunny Sunny Sunshine Babycat Pokemon so terribly much. I did everything for a cat I knew I wouldn't be able to keep.

My friend/ex (L) never went long without a cat. CDS always made sure he had at least one.

Sadly, my friend did a thing and went to prison and was in for 7 years. I’m his ex, and his POA, and mostly his only PERSON, and I continued living in the house while he was gone.

I had various CDS deliveries, and we joked it was CDS “just sending kittens to [his] last known address.” Made as much sense as anything but ffs I had ten cats for a second there, and some of those were CDS deliveries to ME…

Anyway. He got out on Wednesday. And a cat we had before he went in was approaching the bridge…. I brought the aging sad ready-to-find-peace cat to L’s temporary housing for just a little bit for him to have a chance to say goodbye before her vet appointment. Many many tears, I cannot even express the sadness and “thank you for holding on one more day for me” of it all.

Today is Friday. I ran an errand. I got home in time to thank FedEx for a delivery. And I stood in the yard in the kind of peaceful breeze… and heard a distinct MEW!!!

I followed the sound… and followed… and followed … I know the neighborhood ferals(°) often have their kittens under the neighbor’s old pool deck. (The pool is fully drained and it’s in terrible repair and has its own biome developing)

From a break in the privacy fence, I spied the situation. A tiny orange fluffball in the (dry!) shallow end of the pool… and just having a scream about it all.

I let myself into my neighbor’s yard and dropped down into the pool, scooped up the fluff, and saw myself carefully back out.

I texted my friend, at his temporary housing. (See pics)

Behold, the power of the CDS as an inmate returns to the loud chaos that is Outside Life, feeling a million miles more human now that he has a tiny demanding floof. I am watching a large 50-ish-year-old man weep as this handful of fuzz purrs itself to sleep on his chest.

Thank you, CDS!
(°) a friend of mine has kitty traps and know how to reach the right TNR people. We’re gonna limit the flow of kittens in the coming weeks.

She came to me in a “free cat” post. I don’t know if it’s technically CDS.
I arrived to this horrible beat up trailer. It was also very small and idk how two cats and two people could live there. It wasn’t a good place for her. I was actually going to go adopt one at the humane society but when I saw her I instantly fell in love and had to have her.
I bought her so many things already. She has a vet visit next week. That’s the earliest appointment they had. She hid behind my bookshelf for about three hours then came out meowing. She drank water and then ate. Then she explored a little and now she’s cuddling with me. I love her so much.

Baby nimbus was a 4th of july rescue by our neighbors with the agreement we would take her if she was caught. We got her. She has been the sweetest cat for a street kitty, most affectionate, and most chaotic cat we’ve had. Minor food issues but every cat has a quirk. (basically just obsessed with human food, used to fight the toddler over chicken nuggets and we’ve since fixed that) She purrs all the time, and gets along with her new siblings. I still think my sassy cat sent this little lady to rule the house in her place. Last picture is their first time meeting the day after we got her.
She’s also best friends with my toddler, and lets my kid man handle her all the time. (I try to stop it and separate them and the damn cat runs back for my kid to do it again.)
Brie Nimbus, joined the cheese mafia of our cats because that spot was meant to be hers.

I always wondered when it would be our turn to get chosen by the CDS.

Throughout the day today, my daughter had been hearing meowing outside, which is unusual as there are not many outside cats where we live. When she was getting ready to leave for work, lo and behold, this sweet baby was stuck inside her car’s engine. She was crying for help, and couldn’t get back out.

We grabbed some churus from inside, and fed her through the gaps. At first, we hoped that we could lure her back out with treats, but it quickly became clear that she was stuck. My husband had to spend at least 20mins unbolting things before we could pry her out. Finally, we made a large enough gap, and she could get her head out. I gently grabbed her by her scruff, and pulled her out from there.

She is SO sweet, gentle, friendly, and affectionate. It kinda breaks my heart, and I already love her. But, we have a big old sweet boy, who does not get along with other cats. He bullied our other cat so relentlessly that we had to re-home her. So, I’m really hoping her owners will turn up. I’ve been posting everywhere locally, but no hits yet. Wish us luck!

Before: Crusty little baby screaming under a tarp in a friend's front yard in 2023. It just so happened that my husband was visiting a friend back where we used to live, and just so happened to hear small screaming... because he just so happened to step outside at the right time.

After: She won't let us go to bed until she's had enough time with the laser pointer in 2026. She's also trained us that wet food time is 4pm. Period.

She still screams, too. It worked once so it works every time, apparently. I've had cats all my life and I have never, ever had one this vocal. Mouthy, even. She talks back.

It just started to be in the 30s at nighttime so this feels like perfect timing. I was just wondering if anyone can tell how old she is? She seems like 3 months but im not sure and want to know if she still drinks milk or not. Red cup for size comparison lol shes teeny. She also has fleas but i read that 2 months is too young for flea medication but even if shes like 3 months i was still planning on using dawn dish soap to clean her cuz its more gentle. The inside of her ears are very dirty, does anyone have tips on how to clean them. Thank you everyone!

Hi! So my husband found this poor scraggly kitten this past weekend in a small parking lot. We've decided to keep him(assuming they don't find a chip at his vet appt) and we've named the little guy Kuhli. He is insanely sweet for a stray and just wants to snuggle up to you, or search the house for food (he's pretty malnourished, we're working on it and have a vet appt for this Tuesday wish we'd been able to get him seen sooner but we live in the country and only have one vet that's close and they're booked pretty heavy).

Kuhli's been consistently gaining strength every day and seems to be in amazing spirits given his circumstances. The only thing that seems off about his personality is that he doesn't really play? We manage to get him to play with a shoestring for maybe a minute or two at a time, but he quickly loses interest and he will not play with any other typical cat toys so far (catnip mice, flirt pole with a plush at the end, bell balls, etc.). It's been a long time since I've had a cat but it just seems strange. Maybe it's just his personality, or that he hasn't fully settled in yet, but I know it's important for them to have enrichment, so figured I'd see if anyone has suggestions. Thank you to anyone that's read all this and especially for anyone that responds! Other cat advice is also appreciated, I want to leash train him and socialize him too so would love some help on that end if y'all have any.

We woke up to some new friends this morning! The new baby girl Sausage brings all the boys to the yard. I’m sure the fact that my bf has been feeding them hasn’t hurt the cause. I guess we have some new furbabies to look after.

I am thinking it’s time to build a shelter for the winter months and probably look into some T&R options. I think I am dating the male Selena Kyle.

It is seriously crushing me that I can’t just open the back door and let them all in right now. Guess I’ll have to settle for the snuggles I get from the indoor babies.

Say hello to Elote Maize.

Nickname ideas so far: Corny, Mexican Street Corn Corn, Corn Maze, Corn Star, Papi Corn (if its a boy - ive been calling it "girl" but it's too spicy and fluffy to tell yet)

A week ago I heard a cat crying, next morning as i left for work, i saw the huge mat in the middle of her back. She was still around 10 hrs later, and with 4 hands we quickly cut it off.

She stuck around. Probably born under on of the neighborhood houses. I sought rescue options but there are a lot of strays in worse shape around here, so they're maxed out.

Friendly-ish feral kitty wasn't satisfied with my porch and snuck in past my 2 dogs and other cat to go hide under my bed on Tuesday. A babygate keeps the dogs out when I'm gone and she has access to food/water.

My cat, Pidgeon, is not amused, but she never is. She forgets that she, too, was born under my neighbor's house and brought inside.

So i guess now I have another cat. My child of the corn.

Not sure if anyone remembers little May who was found in our driveway at 3 weeks old on my birthday this year, but just wanted to give an update to anyone interested. She ended up having a pretty severe eye infection when we found her. We were able to get it cleared up but she has permanent scarring on her eyes. Fortunately, she is able to see pretty well. She has some problems with distance, but that doesn't stop her.

May is the cutest kitten in the world. That's a fact. Fight me. She is so playful and is constantly terrorizing her big brother (he lets her). May is also so incredibly sweet. After hand raising her she is attached to both my boyfriend and I. She regularly sleeps between us on her little blue pillow.

Her nicknames now include, Mayday, Itty Bitty Kitty, Princess, Princess Tinyfeet, and last but definitely not least, The Demon Froglegs. Sometimes the demon possesses her and she turns into a wild thing. We still love Froglegs, just have to approach with caution.

I feel like this keeps happening to us. We were out for a walk last night and this guy ran up to us and followed us home. We were hoping he had a home so we fed him and sent him on his way. Tonight we were out for a walk and thought he was not coming and out of nowhere he was at my feet. He bolted like lightning to us. Got him some more food and since we have a cold front coming tonight he came in with us. Currently he’s in quarantine in our spare bathroom until he can be tested and cleared. We are calling him Oliver for now, but I’m sure he will get 10 different names like all the others…

Well, it's been a wild and crazy year, plus a few months, since we rescued our little (pregnant) Jenny from the tree in front of our house exactly one week after our previous kitty passed. We had never seen another cat on our property in seven years before she showed up so it was quite the coincidence. They are all happy and healthy and fixed and living their best lives. A four cat household is a handfull, but we're doing our best to provide for them. A few cat towers and multiple litter boxes helps a bunch.

All of that aside, we couldn't imagine a world without them in it now. Bumblebee the tuxedo has become my best buddy in a way no other cat ever has. He's my happy little shadow. The rest are amazing too, so happy and bubbly and playful. I just wish they would stop being all three of these things at 2:30am :) We wouldn't change a thing, however, and consider ourselves lucky beyond belief.

Four cats is a lot of time, work and a fair ammout of expense, so I wouldn't recommend unless you are prepared to handle these situations. I also highly recommend pet insurance, as the vet bills can add up fast and that's just with basic routine maintenance!

But we adore them and they seem to feel the same way about us. We're so happy for our Mommy and her little surprise kittens, and I just wanted to pass along this little update to anyone who remembers my story from last summer. Cheers!
