FOUND KITTY Living In An Engine At Work!!
She has a high fever and we just found out that he’s a SHE!! Almost 7 months old and very friendly… She’s so affectionate and hasn’t attacked anyone since we found her. She’s honestly the best cat I’ve ever came in contact with tbh. I wish I could keep her.
I will make sure you go to the vet and take care of everything..I won’t be giving her to just anybody so please be aware of that before messaging me.

Tourba...I got my boy in a Toyota car engine...named him Totoro. A friend's son found a female black kitten in a car engine and named her Engie.

Since she hasn’t been spayed yet, please keep her inside until she is because you don’t want a pregnant cat. If she is unusually affectionate, she could be in heat.

She follows me around the shop!! 😭😭😭
I honestly love her!! but my mom’s allergic ..literally just came back from the Vet and she has an infection so it’s going to be around $500 for everything bloodwork and spay etc.

Buddy, you have a shop cat. Every shop should have one. If she ever catches a rat, the shop will celebrate it like a kid just won little league championship.
There are timer feeders for when the shop is closed. You have options.

Yes that’s what I keep trying to tell my gf but she says since she’s a woman she won’t be able to survive outside especially since she’s malnourished..I think it’d be cool af to chill at work and have her next to me. And we do have rats at the shop!! She keeps saying that’s a horrible quality of life for a kitten..I’d keep her in the shop even

I had a shop cat for 13 years. She had her wits about her and knew not to touch hot things or mess around with the machines. We haven't had rats or mice in years thanks to her. Now she's old and a little sick so she's a house cat!

If there is shelter and food provided the cat will survive just fine. Just as long as she gets her vaccinations and fixed. We have an entire group of community cats that have survived just fine being 100% outdoors. We give them food and I've been starting to TNR them to try and slow down the growth of new kittens because it is expensive trying to feed over 11 cats twice a day.

We have shop cats, most of the vendors I go to on a daily basis, have shop cats. All are healthy and happy mostly outdoor cats. Definitely only loyal to their person though.

Hate to tell you, gf is the mother of all problems here. Time to break up with her, it's Reddit tradition.

Just keep her in the shop! She shouldn’t be outside but you could keep her in the shop, no? You’d have to make sure someone checked on her the weekends/during closures though.

Is your mom actually allergic though? My parents lied to me about them being allergic because they just didn’t like animals in the house 👀

Aww! We got our black cat from a neighbor who found her on her porch. I wish I could take her but we're not in a place to. :-(

Fever and a lack of energy might mean distemper if she hasn't been vaccinated. Offer fluids, but not milk.

Ok so for context she was in this church bus/van that’s been on the property for about 10 months but my neighbor will soon have to start the repairs so she won’t have access to get back in and out of the bus..
Edit : I will NOT be giving her to just anyone Especially around Halloween who can’t provide information on her life and her well being for the next few weeks!! So don’t dm me if you’re one of those sickos…
I’m willing to help pay some of her medical bills as well. She just needs a new home 😃
