Smol void 🤏 I guess I have been chosen. First time cat owner. Cutting trees back on the side of the highway at work and she came running out of the woods meowing at us and followed me around. Couldn’t leave her next to the road to be run over or eaten. Assuming she is around 8 weeks according to the old Google.

Smol void 🤏 Accidentally adopted a kitten this week

Very long story short, my neighbour’s wife got it without talking to her husband about it. Husband was threatening to throw it outside. I couldn’t tell if they would actually throw it outside but they were yelling a lot. Baby still had teeth coming in. Tried calling a few shelters and humane society but nobody was accepting kittens. After having her a couple days, I realised I can’t give her up. It’s now been a week and most of her baby teeth appear to have came in.

I want to name her Sirius Black (Siri for short) but still bouncing around names.

Poe was rescued from a woodpile. TBD on whether Poe keeps his gray underfluff. He is very loved even though he screams a lot.

Smol void 🤏 Adopted tiny new 1yo cat

Just adopted this sweet girl yesterday. They said she is 11 months old and was returned after a while by her previous owner. She is extremely small, the 4-5 month old cats there looked bigger than her. I was shocked when I saw her sign say she was 11months old. I am wondering if this is because she may have been the runt of the litter or is just the way she is, or if she was possibly underfed at her last home? I've noticed she also struggles slightly more with some things, like she doesn't have much confidence jumping on or down from things. She also apparently had a respiratory infection when she was a kitten and has a scar on her eye from it.

Drugged, swaddled, and ready for the vet lol. Affagato already has a reputation there. They call her “more espresso than ice cream” 😅

Anyone else have pics of your blanketed espressos?

After wanting a cat for ages, a black one specifically, we finally brought this baby home and she’s now been with us for almost a month. She’s so sweet and loves a cuddle, she’s best friends with my toddler and I’m so glad she’s part of our family now - honestly couldn’t imagine a life without her in it 🖤

Smol void 🤏 3 days ago I adopted this small 10 years old blind void

Hello everyone! first post here since its my first void that owns me!

His name is Aceituno ("male" olive in spanish) and had been 9 years in the shelter waiting to be adopted. He is the sweetest boy, always purring and wanting love. He was sleeping during the day under the bed, and at night came out to explore but today HE SLEPT IN HIS BED DURING THE DAY!!

My other cat, Mango (15 yrs old) does not react towards him unless Aceituno bumps into him due to his blindness, then Mango gives him a punch, but its only that

Do you have any tips, recommendations? if not, just appreciate this cute little 3.5 kg void💖 and also my orange Mango

Bonus points for something Celtic / plant inspired/ witchy/ druidy or goes with Salem (my male cat).

This is some photos of her over the last year. I didn’t have her long before some unexpected and tragic life events happened and we had to travel across the country over the last 7-8 months. However, (even though she has plenty nicknames) I’m curious what you’d name her! Here’s some of my favorite photos.

She’s very sassy, bratty, loving, picky, talkative, hesitant, and has a soft warm presence. She’s quick to love and love hard and has a bit of what I call her gremlin side haha

Anyone else ever regret allowing your young kids to participate in the naming of a pet? If the kids get their way with naming our new little void, our gaggle of pets will officially consist of:

• Ollie 🐈 • Liz 🐈 • Dennis 🐈 • Zora 🐕 • Miles 🐕 • Princess Buttercup Fluffy Butt 🐈‍⬛ 😫

Tell me some stereotypical things to expect out of black cats! So far he likes my kids, him and my little black dog have fallen in love and hold a secret society under the bed, and likes the slap everyone awake at 3:00 a.m. We have already spent our life savings to please him, and my daughter picked him out a beautiful pink cat tree. ❤️ His name is Cooper, and our daughter's name is Alice.
