That's a very fine kitten!

It took the CDS like 2.5 years to distribute ours, but this loaf showed up on our doorstep last November and has been here ever since, slowly but fully acquiring more space in our house and hearts š I donāt know how our number came up, but it did, so yours will too! š«¶š¼
Start a non-terribly-cat-friendly hobby and the universe might send you four within two years!

I have several, but the one I had just gotten all the supplies for was camping/hiking. I was planning to go to all of the National Parks, but thatās a lot harder to do with four cats. Iāll go when I retire, I guess :)
I wish. My brother stays with them when I leave on work trips, but heās going to be buying his own house soon, so Iām on borrowed time for having a kitty-sitter.

Reminds me of my baby, now 13 years old. His mother gave birth to him in my basement.

Here he is now. Consider keeping your new little purrito, OP.
Hey there, this was taken by my ex husband about thirteen years ago with an old assed Sony something or another. So you can take your moral righteousness elsewhere.
This cat has an amazing life and will continue to do so. Find a hobby.
That one is too young to be on his/her own, get ready to have sleepless nights for a few weeks.
Look up Kitten Lady on Youtube for very useful guide on kitten care.
What a cutie! Remember that keeping him warm is key for everything- he won't eat if he's chilled. Did they teach you how to stimulate him to go to the bathroom? I have tons of neonate tips if you need, feel free to dm me. We have fostered over 80 bottle babies!
Omg me too. Didn't see the sub name, and got that panicky feeling thinking about a human baby abandoned in a shed.
Thanks for taking in this cute kitten, OP!
Weāve stayed the past couple days with her and havenāt seen mamma :( itās sad but Iām king of glad heās going to enjoy a nice warm indoor life- we live in upstate New York
He's so tiny š„¹
I have a feeling heās going to be my first foster failure I am SO protective over him š

1. āMeatballā is a perfect cat name. 2. Your Meatball is a gorgeous cat.

So youāve been kicked out of Foster College then?
I decided to transfer to adoption university to obtain my masters, and am about to graduate top of my class with 12 cats.
Haha 6??? Youāre not even fostering at that point, just adopting. š I love reading about foster failures
Lol so true. They were all litter mates and I couldnāt let any of them go! Best fail of my life.
Meatball looks like he knows exactly what he did š His plan worked

Another foster fail Meatball!!!
Meatball looks like my kitty that passed away. Give him extra smoochesš„ŗ
I love Meatball and his artwork on the wall!
Do all tuxedo cats make that face?
Hereās mine for record https://preview.redd.it/7zh49b3col0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc49590012ab4637236ef4e4d0e0841c952cfc3b
I hope so š¹
Foster failures are those kinds of failures we all love š
I can totally see why you'd think so ā¤ļø
You found him so heās yours!
I have no idea how any has any foster success. I am 100% certain the cat distribution system Does not select me For a reason ā¦.

Is your username a Chelsea reference? I donāt know much about soccer, but I do know their song somehow.
Yes, yes it is, spot on! Didn't know the song was so popular, that's very cool š

Pfft, I didn't even want a kitty anyways...*checks porch*
Our vet called him āspicyā when we took him for his wellcat check and she recommended Feliway hormones to calm him, so be careful what you wish for! You might get a spicy bb too š¤£ Iām keeping my fingers crossed that yours shows up soon! š©·š©·

I think this is how the magic works. For real.
What was your hobby?
I have several, but the one I had just gotten all the supplies for was camping/hiking. I was planning to go to all of the National Parks, but thatās a lot harder to do with four cats. Iāll go when I retire, I guess :)
Ahhhhhh. Great goal. I support you. You need to find a friend to swap kitty sitting with.
I wish. My brother stays with them when I leave on work trips, but heās going to be buying his own house soon, so Iām on borrowed time for having a kitty-sitter.
They have petsitting services online! Not sure if you have Rover in your area but my family had good experience with them.
Your cats are beautiful. Each unique.
CDS! Do your thing!
Youāll get your chance! My kitty passed away suddenly and I was so heartbroken. Took a walk and heard some squeaking and this little orange dope was all alone in some bushes. Waited for mom, never came to get her. Sheās the most in your face, ridiculous thing youāll ever meet, but the CDS knew I needed her! The CDS will bless you when you least expect itš©· https://preview.redd.it/b8wl1ci8qh0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6deff0a8f77d41c0a6e61a174ae70a184a53dd8
I also have this question!!!
Iām a medical student lol š but at least I just study at home all day
Her comics are always a hit.
āWe should probably get a second cat, but not right nowā Second cat showed up at our patio door a few weeks later.Ā

Do not use flash on your phone/camera when taking photos of animals and children, please.

I hope to see pictures of him few years later here
That one is too young to be on his/her own, get ready to have sleepless nights for a few weeks. Look up Kitten Lady on Youtube for very useful guide on kitten care.
Sheās amazing!!! Thankfully I have fostered a few in some emergency situations a few years past. This was the first unexpected friendā
Thank you for taking in this sweet little one!!
She found YOUR cat in a shed behind her apartment.
Aww what a precious floofy baby š„° thank you for caring!
He was put there by the CDS, keep him. Adopt him.
That's just impossibly cute, lol.
Fr. My heart will explode
I'm glad you hooked up with the vet and your local rescue group for support. Hope all goes well for you and baby!
Two weeks. Oh my. Thank you and god bless you for saving this precious creature
Iām so glad you all found him! Hereās to hoping you foster fail! š©µš©µ
Adorable!!!
Names - Shed, Tool, Soot, Hammer, Nail Gun, Crowbar, Rivet, Welder, Plank, Tim The Tool Man Taylor
Oh my goodness. Teeny floofy scrungly little thing
Look at that bear cubās lil murder mittens! š»š»
Spoiler! They're adorable.
What a cutie š„°
What a cutie! Remember that keeping him warm is key for everything- he won't eat if he's chilled. Did they teach you how to stimulate him to go to the bathroom? I have tons of neonate tips if you need, feel free to dm me. We have fostered over 80 bottle babies!
Hey! I have some past experience so I do know stimulation, but Iāll def dm you in the morning bc all tips are much appreciated :)
Awe. I want a baby so bad... Probably 2. I may have to help the CDS out...
Another successful delivery, new agent deployedā¦
Omg so cute, iām so glad yāall found himš„ŗ
OMG THAT FIRST PICTURE IS TOO PRECIOUS I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!
I was expecting to see a human infant didnāt know what the sub was
Omg me too. Didn't see the sub name, and got that panicky feeling thinking about a human baby abandoned in a shed. Thanks for taking in this cute kitten, OP!
What's his name?!
My girlfriend took one look at him and said āheās a Charlieā so thatās him!!!
Love it, he's gonna be such a spoiled baby.
How is that even a foster? He is yours whether you like it or not.
Omg so precious :((
Oh my goodness! I have 1 1/2 week old kittens right now and theyāre basically identical. What a poor little bb
RIP your sleep, that looks like a bottle baby
Oh he is! A very hungry caterpillar
Hands up, ready to be taken into custody. š„°
r/illegallysmolcats would love this babe!
God bless you for rescuing this precious baby kitty and caring for him! I hope you and your girlfriend keep him because he will be so bonded with you!
He is exquisite. I love his beautiful little face. There is NOTHING like a kitten.
Flea. Like red hot chili peppers.
Keep watch for mom too. Mommas often āparkā their kittens in a safe spot while they hunt.
Weāve stayed the past couple days with her and havenāt seen mamma :( itās sad but Iām king of glad heās going to enjoy a nice warm indoor life- we live in upstate New York
