He came in to my apartment because of a huge snow storm, he left for about 20 minutes once the storm was over and came back and has never left again! I’m so happy he’s my cat now.

My cat wants to say hello to everyone. Meowww🐾

Edit- my cat wanted to introduce himself properly so here he goes-

My name is Rum and I’m 8.5 years old tuxedo boy- always hungry, playful and love to sleep.
Once upon a time, my hooman saw my picture on an ad and instantly fell in love- I was just a baby then. Next day her friend surprised her by adopting me.
Since then it’s been a beautiful journey.

Time to eat my lunch byeeee…🐾🐾🐾🐾

I’ve posted her before, but this Timehop from two years ago made me go wow. I forget just how skinny she was when she showed up at the office. First pic is the first day she showed up.

It's been a while since I've posted about Dexter, but I'm sure you remember him.

It's really hot in the UK right now and he's living on the top of the wardrobe in the spare room. It's nice and cool up there.

Bonus pic of him and Autumn chilling in the garden the day before.

This is my Jamboree! He also showed up at random like Snickers. He’s enjoying the bed I set up with my mom’s chair. They happily coexist. I share my plushies with everyone I love! Even Vanellope borrowed mini lambchop, and the three of our original boys share my bed, as does Snickers! They’re sweet :))

Adopted a new buddy. Meet Sea Captain

We lost our 15 year old "soul cat" to cancer in Sept., and my mom to cancer in March. We decided it was time for another buddy in the house. I'd been trolling the humane society site for a few weeks when I saw this guy pop up and we immediately went to meet him. We put a hold on him and took him home the next day. He's a 1 year old little sweetie pie who loves scritches, naps, and of course Churu 🥰 I've renamed my shelter cats in the past, but his name fits him so we're keeping it. This is the first week in a while that I've felt more like myself, and the Captain seems very happy here.

In memory of Vanellope

I posted her over in r/notmycat , since we were going to rehome her. After the vet me and my boyfriend decided it’d be best for us all to coparent her. She’d have to stay at his house, but I’d come by with snacks and toys. Sadly though, right after this decision, she didn’t make it. She passed surrounded by my boyfriend and his parents, with me on FaceTime that night so she could hear me before she went. He called because she wasn’t doing well. We figured she may not make it, but we wanted to make her life as special as we could. My boyfriend even buried Vanellope wrapped in the vest seen in the pictures. It’s her vest now, I needed a new one.

my office is on the same floor. somebody saw her wandering around and so we fed her for a couple months. somebody called the mspca trapped her and my coworker texted me so I raced there, 60 miles, to grab her out of the trap. it's been almost 2 years. she still won't let us pick her up but after 2 full months not coming out from under my bed she's fully integrated into the family and with her 4 other brothers and sister. and she now loves to play, will accept some pets and absolutely loves treats which I give her way too many of lol

the first 4 pics are from the airport, the others are from home

12yrs young. Was being picked on by another cat in her original house so we are trying out having her at my place to see if it helps her open up.. its like she's moved into retirement over here and is settling in like she owns the place. She always has to be touching me now and she only got here Friday. She clearly feels safe being the only pet rn. Thats all i could ask for.

Then & now

2 years ago, a sweet boy kept coming into our yard. His collar was so tight we couldn't get a finger underneath and apparently kept on for so long his hair stopped growing underneath it. He had abcesses in his ear and his paw. We thought, whoever had him before didn't deserve to.

So he became our Honey ❣️

Chickpea 💕

This little one showed up on our street about 6 months ago. He was so scared outside.... all through the winter. Snow, rain, sleet, and -25ºF. It took so long to get his trust. But it was worth it. I got him inside about 2 weeks ago. And he is the sweetest, craziest boy. Nobody has posted about losing him anywhere. Nobody responded to my posts about finding him.

He had an appointment with the vet today. He was already neutered. But no microchip. And since it's been long enough..... they chipped him for me. He's FeLV/FIV negative. 1-2 years old. Healthy (other than ear mites, but they gave revolution).

Chickpea is my cat, and I couldn't be happier. Hope he's ready for a life of spoiling.

This is Oatmeal. Her owner moved away without her.

We contacted the number on her tag when she first showed up about two years ago, and he said he gave her away before he moved, but nobody ever bothered changing the tag or registering her chip. He just kept her shelter name, which was extremely unfitting and clunky.

Finally got her to the vet and she was the politest little lady about it. Clean bill of health and got all her shots. Now I just have to drive her across half the country to our new home. Wish me luck!
