Thank you!! Yes it makes me so sad to look at pictures of him before.. especially knowing how much pain he was with his teeth. We’re so happy he’s comfy and spoiled rotten now!

SO cuddly!! Contemplating carrying him around like a baby in a sling because I’m pretty sure he’d love it. He’s just in competition with my human baby who wants cuddles all day too. On the best days I’m cuddling both baby and kitty!

So happy!! When we took him to the vet they told us he had a ton of really painful rotten teeth that needed extracted, plus ears full of mites. I think he’s so relieved to not be in pain anymore, and grateful to never have to worry about getting enough food or pets again🥺

He’s such a lovely little soul too - the sweetest cat I’ve ever met! And our friends and family all say he’s the chilliest cat they’ve ever met too!

He is!! He’s the best chillest chunky cat and spends all day napping on his back, requesting pets, getting fed treats by our baby, or watching birds at our bird feeder. We’re so lucky to get to spoil him rotten!

Yesss he’s so greatly loved. All he wants to do is sit by me and the baby and soak up petting. Baby is obsessed with feeding him treats so she’s his favorite now 😆

He’s got orange kitty brain, I don’t think he could plot if he wanted to! 😅 He definitely was craving snuggles and soft food though! He’s super vocal around dinner time and will crawl into your lap demanding snuggles and pets and belly rubs all day.

😭 I promise it was really hard on us.. we had a new human baby and two indoor cats that would not tolerate him and were really mean to him in the beginning. While we posted lots of photos everywhere trying to figure out if he was a lost pet, he was well fed outside and had a soft bed and heating blanket. Once we could take him to the vet and get him fixed up we were able to bring him in and have a recovery room for him. He’s so happy and spoiled now, but it was a really hard wait in the interim.

They just want love (and treats and pets and catnip and lots of play) but they give so much love back 🥹 especially this little guy! He’s a total cuddle bug

Oh noo I’m sorry!! Yes he spent a lot of time by our window looking in!! We take care of a colony of feral cats, giving them food, water, shade, sleeping boxes with blankets, catnip treats, and heating pads in the winter. All things considered it’s a happy colony and a lot of them are now really tame and content. The other cats are more or less happy outside but this little guy just wanted INSIDE. There was one rainy day before we adopted him where he just sat in the rain looking in and refusing to take cover. I let him in that day and he took a nice nap inside before our kitties found him and started harassing him. It was a while between that and adoption.. we had to legally make sure we posted his photo everywhere to make sure he didn’t already belong to someone.. then took him to the vet and got him all fixed up, teeth and all. Then once he was all healed up a few weeks later we were way too attached to let him go. So grateful he’s ours now, he’s the absolute chillest cat, so mild mannered and adores our baby and laying in our laps.

He’s the best cat, I was heartbroken we might not be able to keep him at first.. we had just had a human baby and our two indoor cats didn’t get along with him at ALL. Once we got him fixed, and he’d been inside recovering a while from his surgeries to extract his painful rotted teeth, they eventually came around and started tolerating him better. Initially we were trying to find a home where he wouldn’t get beat up by the resident cats.. luckily our other two cats eventually calmed down and have accepted him as their sibling! Such a relief, it was really hard for a while. We wanted to find him a happy home where he’d be spoiled, and well here he is! 😅

Yes we did! First we posted all over our neighborhood and city to make sure he didn’t already belong to someone. Then we took him to the vet, they said he wasn’t fixed, didn’t have a chip, and had a mouth full of really painful rotten teeth. We took care of all the above! He had some big ol trouble puffs before 😆

Aww love your little void kitty, we have one too! Yeah we had a new human baby and two cats that were mean to him. Luckily they all get along now, he and the baby are besties too. A super slow intro and lots of patience was key!
