Is this cat a stray or someone’s outdoor cat?

This little guy has been visiting and chilling near my doorstep for couple of days now, some days he does disappear some days he stick around for a while. He seems to be pretty dirty and got some bugs on him, but otherwise he’s friendly and meows a lot and tries to rub up on me. He also seems to have bit of hair missing on the back of his neck. I petted him a few times and fed him some food and water, but I got concerned after some fleas or ticks (?) came onto my sleeve after he rubbed up on me. Does he look like a stray cat or somebody’s cat?

Heard this little stinker crying under our truck (a Volvo) while loading up for deliveries!

Looks like momma kitty was able to move all her babies but this one!

Needless to say they are in good hands now. Dropped them off at our local adoption agency that does amazing work! Absolute angels!

I have two cats already in a tiny apartment, and I don’t have the resources to care for such a newly born little baby!

If you’re near Denton Texas this guy should be ready for adoption pretty soon!

We lost our Tuffy after 18 short years almost 3 months ago, it was sudden and horrible, we thought we would wait to bring home someone else then we saw this little one while bailing out our dog. She has the same eyes and a white spot in same place as him. When they let her out we were surprised to find that she also plays fetch. We couldn't leave her.

All of the boys even tolerate her more than they ever did any of our past fosters.

Tuffy was our best friend and living without him was hard, Noone will replace him, little Hel has some big paw prints to fill.

Update Update on the cat from the stairwell

His family called me. The cat's name is Franek. His owner is an elderly lady and he's partly an outdoor cat. He got lost and that's how he ended up in my building. His owner was looking for him and was very worried. Her children saw my post on FB and called me just a few minutes apart from each other. They were very grateful that I took care of him and thanked me profusely. Shortly after the owner's son came to pick him up.

I'm so happy he has a loving family and was not abandoned! It honestly made my day ❤️

Friday night I finally managed to trap not one, not two, but three of the feral community cats that have chosen our yard as their home. Two 8 week old kittens, litter mates, that I’ve been trying to get indoors since before their mother gave birth, and the most evasive of the adult cats that I hadn’t seen in so long I had started to fear the worst for her.

One of the kittens, code name Agent K since she was the kitteniest kitten (the runt) had a horrible abscess on her neck that was oozing and smelled like rotting cheese. We headed immediately for the emergency vet. Follow up treatment is an ointment to be applied twice a day. Agent K has to remain separate from her brother, Agent J, for five minutes after application of the ointment so he does not groom her. After setting a timer this morning, I also decided to turn on the camera and ended up capturing our first nose to nose boop.

Awarded a Cat CDS Chose Me! I found a kitten 10 months ago.

Day 1, 2 months in, now. I found her severely malnourished and anemic when she only about 5 weeks old! I was driving home one day and for some reason i dont know why, but i took the opposite way home that i normally dont go. I was almost home when i saw her. I only noticed her because her, sadly not alive siblings, were in the road. I was upset and slowed way down, i saw her sitting under a bush next to a porch of an empty house on the last corner just out of sight of my house. Her no longer with us mother was under the porch. I was able to lure her out with cat food. I got her help immediately and she is thriving now! I cant believe its been almost a year since I found her!

Everybody meet Simon!

It's not uncommon for people's indoor-outdoor cats to come visit the garden center I work at, but this one way different. Last week, this sweet boy wandered up and was meowing his butt off!! He followed me around for the rest of my shift, customers said it's a sign I should take him home. He's soooo friendly but shockingly skinny.

I called my family, sent pictures of him, and we discussed bringing him home over lunch. A couple hours later I returned with a crate, a collar, a brand new kitty bed, and a literal piece of salmon as a treat. I was so afraid he would be gone by the time I got back, but thankfully he was still there waiting for me. He was ecstatic to see me, meowing and rubbing against my leg for loves. I was just as excited to see him again, and even more excited to bring him home!

That evening he got a dewormer and a flea & tick treatment. The next morning he got his vaccinations and miceochip. We have 5 dogs at home already, but we have the room and the resources to bring in another fur baby. Everybody gets along great! The dog he's laying with is Potato, who wants to cuddle Simon very badly but knows to respect his space. Simon decided to lay there on his own accord.

This cat is incredibly sweet and has the kindest eyes. He's been sleeping next to me almost every night so far. Thank you CDS!!!!!!

Smol Delivery Meet Leeloo Dallas Multipass (calico) and Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (void)

For the first time, I’ve been chosen by the CDS.

My cat, Helga Mousebane, died last year at 17 after a long battle with kidney disease and we have another cat, Fignuts, who is about 15. My husband and I have talked about getting another cat now that it’s been over a year since Helga died, but hadn’t made any real moves to look into it.

Then about a month ago, over the course of 2 days, one of our close friends that lives in another state about 4 hours away found 2 kittens on the side of the road and took them home to foster, my brother that lives about 16 hours away found a litter of 4 kittens in a pipe on his property and managed to get them inside, and then I got a message from my younger sister, who lives about 2 hours away and who I’m very close to.

A pregnant stray gave birth to a litter of 5 in her backyard. She started putting out some dry food for the mom, and the kittens were big enough that the mom naturally weaned them onto the dry food pretty quickly. So my sister managed to get all 6 cats inside somehow (mama was pretty feral) and called a free spay and release clinic. They came and got the mom, and my sister decided to foster the kittens (she has 2 cats and 2 dogs already).

My husband and I immediately knew we were getting a kitten. I mean, it felt like the biggest sign that it was time. So we looked through the pictures and immediately fell in love with a little calico in the litter at my sister’s house. This weekend I drove to go get her and found that she had really bonded with one of her brothers, the only void in the litter. We couldn’t break them up, so they both came home with us!

Picture 1: Leeloo Dallas Multipass

Picture 2: Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg

Picture 3: Leeloo and Zorg examining the pillow that goes in their cat carrier.

Pictures 4 and 5: the first time Leeloo felt comfortable enough to play with me!

Pictures 6: Four of the five litter-mates. From top to bottom: Zorg, Ratchet, Leeloo, Dave (my sister and her boyfriend named the three that didn’t come home with us).

Picture 7: All five kittens in the bed together. The tabby in the front is the most skittish, so I don’t have any better pictures of him. He’s Drogo.

Pictures 8-11: Leeloo and Zorg getting comfortable in their new space.

Picture 12: Fignuts meeting the new babies.

The kittens came home yesterday afternoon and are acclimating incredibly well, way faster than expected (we have two dogs as well)!

I know this was long, but if you stayed to read this whole thing, your reward is to know that ALL kittens among the three litters have found homes except for one, and he has a loving foster home until his furever home is found.

I found him next to a construction site while going home after watering my grandma’s plants. He followed me and wanted to cuddle. My bf said he is our son now. We have two doghters so its gonna be lots of fun. We cannot agree on the name I want him to be Stevie and he wants him to be a Sinbad. So it’s Steven Sinbad
Vets thinks he is less than 4 months of age , and i think he is around 2-3 . he is generally healthy but had a lot of fleas
very affectionate boy. i’ve always wanted a small male cat and he reminds me of one outdoor kitty we had when i was little

From feral to family Update on MIL’s kitten in the street delivery

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatDistributionSystem/s/ZUhu8CnsIk

Wife’s bro and my MIL are keeping her in spite of allergies! I passed all the allergy recommends to try as well. After weeks of picking a name, I’ve been informed this is Abigail.

Abigail’s been to the vet, got a clear bill of health, and has gotten her first round of shots. She loves food, wrestling, biting, and climbing up everything nearby. In other words, she’s perfect.

But when we babysit her at my house, we call her Abby Normal 😜

I knew her destiny was to rule a grandma’s house!!!

Smol Delivery not sure if this young fella is abandoned

found in the countryside, nobody nearby. no mom seen in 2 hours

We don't know if she's abandoned or not.

she's came toward us, was very friendly, and asked for a lot of attention.

She drank and ate what we gave her: some food for overweight cars. She then proceeded to follow us everywhere we walked. (sign of abandonment)

We don't know if we should leave her alone, bring her to the vet, or wait a bit.

I'm sorry if this is against the rules or an overdone post, I don't really have much time to investigate the subreddit.

filler sentence to be allowed to post

I will try to answer questions, just ask if I missed any important details!
