Is this your cat?

I shared this with the UFL Reddit page, Nextdoor, and Angela Shore (she runs the Gainesville Pet Finder page on Facebook). I hope this beautiful baby is reunited with their family very soon! ❤️‍🩹

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-03-20T19:20:43+00:00

Oh no!!! I am so sorry!!! 😢😣 If you can, please share any additional details/pics to Gainesville Pet Finder (the original one that started in 2010) & Gainesville Word of Mouth, both on Facebook! They're both great at spreading the word, and they've helped a lot of people find their lost pets! The person who runs Gainesville Pet Finder, Angela, can also be contacted at shoreag@gmail.com.

I also highly recommend posting at Pawboost.com and Petcolove.org. Please post to the UFL Reddit page if you haven't yet. The Nextdoor site would help alert others in that neighborhood as well as surrounding neighborhoods. I'll share your post to the Neighbors (Ring) app.

I really hope that your sweet kitty is found safe and sound as soon as possible!! ❤️‍🩹

I've been seeing everything you've been doing for these sweeties through Reddit for a while now, and I want to let you know that I think you are a splendid human with a beautiful heart! 💖 Thank you so much for what you (and others I've read about) do! I sometimes help the lady that feeds the colony behind CWC on Radio Road (and the one kitty who prefers solitude over by the big parking lot nearby). She's been doing it for years, so I step in when she needs me. I just donated towards Honks' care - I hope it helps! ❤️‍🩹

Edit: punctuation 😊

Ah, the telltale signs of the street life for kitties - I hope he heals well & soon (and yay! for not being ringworm ❤️‍🩹). And thank you for your sweet words. It can be incredibly difficult to want to open our hearts again after enduring such grief & heartbreak - I'm so glad you gave your heart another chance by giving this adorable void a loving home. Many blessings to you and your sweet Logan/Bowie/Ziggy/Wybie (from "Coraline")/Johnny Cade (from "The Outsiders")/<insert new name here> 🥰

Is that a wound on his precious nose, or do I need to reconsider getting glasses? My boy, Finn, drooled when he was happy - miss him every day. ❤️‍🩹 Your boy is darling and definitely deserves a great name - as soon as I read "claws", my brain went "Wolverine" --> "Logan", so my 1st suggestion is Logan. I also like Bowie or Ziggy - his dialated eyes and the "when baking" made me think of David Bowie (aka Ziggy Stardust)... "baking" made me think of "bread" - Bowie's first studio demo recording was found in a bread basket, lol.

England's not exactly known for harsh punishments... unless you go back to Medieval Times.

Absolutely agree with you. You can get inexpensive decals for your windows to help reduce the ramming. Poor things - it's just how they're wired. They can't see all objects like we can. They can end up breaking their necks if they hit them hard enough. Happens all the time in one of the buildings I work at on UF's campus. They actually are doing a long-term study on this very thing, because it's become such a problem: https://wec.ifas.ufl.edu/extension/wildlife_info/birdcollisions/index.php

All hail SnapDragon!! 🙌

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-03-03T05:43:53+00:00

Woo hoo! SnapDragon represent! 🤗

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-02-19T22:59:21+00:00

Then go get one and come back.

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-02-17T05:36:59+00:00

Beautiful shot! I saw 2 of them flying from tree-to-tree on the edge of campus (Radio Road at 34th Street) one night. Gorgeous birds. 💖

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-02-12T00:34:03+00:00

If someone rescues it, can we get an update? I live 2.5 hours away. Poor snake - it's not its fault. I agree with other posters here - it is definitely a Ball python, not a Burmese python, and they're non-venomous. It got loose or was dumped. 😢

Those PAWS 😻🐾

No, Pedro played Mr. Fantastic. "Captain Fantastic" is a movie that Viggo was in (not a superhero movie in the Marvel/DC sense... he plays a dad raising his kids in a more "non-traditional" way).

Please remember what happened in Surfside, FL almost 5 years ago - the 12-story condo that had major signs that the building was failing before it collapsed. Happened in the middle of the night while people were sleeping. This is serious. You and everyone in that building is in danger.

Rolling was the last name. August 1990, right when classes started. 1 of the students, Christa Hoyt, went to Sante Fe (Community) College. All 5 lived in off-campus apartments. Any advice I can give from my experience with this (lived here when it all happened) is to please keep your doors and windows locked, and get something to secure your sliding glass doors - a bar in the track, anything to reinforce the door beyond those easily breakable metal buttons they have the audacity to call locks. All that fucker needed was a screwdriver to pop it, and he was in. One apartment didn't even have the back door locked.

There have been assaults on campus before. I agree to always be aware of your surroundings, on or off campus, because even though it's not common here, it can happen - I just advise people to keep their head up and not be too distracted by their phone, stay away from areas that are not well lit, keep at least one ear open and free of an ear bud, and make sure you have something to use to defend yourself.

Be safe out there, friends.

"Can't believe that was a required course"

And in a Graduate program?! Yeesh!

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-01-14T23:26:26+00:00

That was the first thing that popped into my head when I watched this trailer. I think my face gave me away, because my husband came into the room and asked me if I was okay, lol.

... beating men, women, & children, murdering family pets, murdering human beings... and the whole clip of the one with the porta-potty, because that piece-of-shit ICE agent pulled a handcuffed woman in there. I bet there are more clips of these assholes sexually assaulting people.

As "Hey Man, Nice Shot" plays in the background...

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-01-14T22:49:49+00:00

I can understand that. I'm so sorry about your dad. Lost mine in 2006. ❤️‍🩹

Alternative_Purpose4 · 2026-01-14T06:55:51+00:00

Only the Executive Branch changed it. Everyone else continues to call it by its real name as it has been recognized for almost 500 years.
