I found this litter of kittens behind my work building last fall. A rescue helped us catch/socialize them and TNR mom. We were only supposed to foster them, but as you can see they never left. Much to our Dalmatians’ dismay, we are now Level 10 Cat People.

Our dogs are good big brothers, despite never having met a cat before we brought the babies home. Our house now has a cat tree in every room and my partner spent all summer building them a huge custom catio. It’s a house full of love, cuddles and endless pet hair to vacuum up. We adore them.

I was just chilling last night when I noticed a little kid chasing my roommate's cat outside. I was like what the heck how did my roommate's cat get outside, he gets a thousand yard stare just being at the window and neither of us opened the door in the last few hours and he spends most time underneath my roommate's bed anyway.

I ran over to the door and opened it, the cat just walked in past three dogs, hung with me and the dogs for about 40 minutes while I cooked. Then we're in the hallway and it was like the Spider-Man pointing meme.

Eta: roommates cat is on the left (Ronin), the new cat on the right (Flat Stanley). She got the name because she let me pet her so fricking rough that she looked flat on the ground, I was basically crushing her and she loved it.

Someone I love was in a bad situation, so I offered them a place to stay. Unfortunately, we got a call that their abuser was taking it out on their dog. We left to go pick the doggo up from several states away. On the way down, a friend let me know that they had found three three week old kittens in a ditch after a downpour. The shelters were full and they weren't able to take care of them. We were able to take the dogs and kittens in. I feel really privileged with all the joy our full house has brought us.

My street has a mix of strays and indoor/outdoor cats that have been consistent over the years. A Mama had a litter of five and she started bringing them to my house for breakfast a couple months ago when the heat here was insane (Dallas, TX). A friend of ours took three to be re-homed but Temur (mackerel tabby) already was bonded to me and Orbit (the void) was scared of people but loved Temur. As I got Temur acclimated to being indoors, I’d let her out to be with Orbit who literally never left my porch.

Since storms were coming and these two had literally never seen rain in their lives, decided it was time to see if Orbit would have the courage to come inside to avoid the weather and lo and behold.

Temur is so happy her brother is with her. He gets less scared and more curious every day. 💕

The cat distribution system hit me with this adorable boy today. I was outside at work when I heard him calling. My coworker and I were able to find him underneath a pallet of firewood.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of our dog’s sudden passing from cancer. It feels like she sent us this little guy to us. My husband says the kitten absolutely cannot stay so my friend will adopt him at the end of the week. I’m so glad he’s going to have a loving family, but I’m heartbroken that it can’t be us.

I took him to the vet so he could get checked out since he had diarrhea. We had tests run that came back negative and have a plan in place to get his diarrhea to stop. The vet said he’s a 6-8 week old male and should be feeling better soon! So far he loves cuddling, playing with my hair and making biscuits.

Update

She has received all her vaccines and boosters that are appropriate for her age. She has not received her rabies vaccine since the vet said she is too young for one.

She is receiving her rabies vaccine and will be sterilized at the end of October.

She has been doing well at home. The other cats have gotten used to her, and she tries to play with them a lot even though they aren't willing to play with her that often.

We bought her a lot of cat toys. I bought her a cardboard house for cats she likes. She also likes to sleep in the Amazon box the cardboard house came in.

Just moved to a pretty rural area. This precious black cat keeps making an appearance on our porch, usually about the same time (4-5pm). She really wants in the house - to the point we have to block her with our feet to go in.

She’s incredibly social - purrs, meows, even let us pick her up. But she has no collar and she’s always a bit dirty.

She’s missing a toe in her front paw, has a weird gait, and is very reactive to sudden movements (especially hands).

It’s about to get cold here so I want to make sure she’ll be okay for the winter.

I don’t want to steal someone’s barn cat, but I also think she may have ran away for other reasons. Distribution system at work or catnapping?

I love my little abandoned house kitten. She’s doing so well and has more than doubled in size since I found her abandoned the last week of July. I put current pics of her enjoying a sashimi sampler and her day one first pic. Today she enjoyed lean tuna, king fish, squid and snapper sashimi. She gets along well with my two dogs and during supervised play time with my one year old!

She did her first round of shots and is due for the next round this weekend. It’s been a real joy getting her integrated into my home. She’s so spoiled.
