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.

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…

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!

This beautiful diluted tortie was found at my wife's work yesterday under a shed. We took her in when a local rescue couldn't take her. We're calling her Vesper! We just found out shes 10-12 weeks old and in good health. We think she may have been left there since she looks so healthy. We weren't sure about keeping her but she's confident and sweet. We have a 13 year old and a 3 year old tabby girls already. Any advice from tortie owners on what to expect or on how to smoothly introduce a kitten to adult cats?

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!

Thursday night I heard crying across the street. It was pouring rain and cold, and a tiny furball ran at me screaming. We put her on FB, and sounds like she is a stray, people have found 3 other kittens that look just like her. I cannot get a good picture, she wiggles to much. She eats soft food, and kitten chow mixed with adult food. She immediately figured out the litter box.

We are taking her to the vet next week, and are starting the process of introducing her to our current 5 cats.

She is a female, we are guessing about 5 weeks old, and is very sociable and purrs nonstop

I love cats but never got one because my sister and mom are severly allergic. But this time I couldn't say no. Some neighbors threw her out and she came to us. Got her inside and gave her a bath as she was full of fleas.

We were supposed to take her to a shelter the next day but I couldnt do it. She is the sweet baby there is, loves to cuddle and sleep. Super friendly with everyone, even our desperate for attention shih tzu that wont leave her alone lol...

Took me a bit to decide on her name. Finally I decided on Amaya :] Sister and mom couldnt say no either so they'll be working on getting their allergy shots and other precautions with her to minimize their reactions. Working on getting her to a vet to get checked out soon :]

So yeah welcome Amaya! 🥰🥰

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.

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.

Meet Blue Belle. This little angel showed up on our porch a few days ago like this. Nobody in the neighborhood claimed her. She must know I’m a huge animal lover and won’t just leave her out there. Isn’t she so pretty?

We’re getting her all cleaned up and ready to be a part of our family. Never owned a cat before, so wish us luck!!

Any tips for introductions with dogs would be very helpful as we currently have two. We plan to get her stuff all set up in the basement, where our dogs don’t ever go.

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.
