    My partner and I each have an adult cat who finally learned to live with each other after a few years. Now we're no longer renting and I thought it would be reasonable to

    begin fostering for a local rescue. I spent two days thinking about it before getting ready to pitch it to my partner, and then the next day, I found this little muffin sleeping by our cats on the porch.

    He was covered in burs, ticks, fleas, fly eggs, crusted up boogers, spider webs, twigs, etc. in addition to being so bony that I was afraid to touch him. So of

    45 pm when I found him, just as all the vets were closing for the weekend. I wasn't entirely convinced he would survive the weekend-

    especially once I realized he was losing about an ounce each day- but thankfully his appetite is healthy, and I have a cat heating pad perfectly suited to keep his tiny 670g body warm.

    He made it to Monday morning, growing more vibrant and comfortable each day, an absolute nonstop purr rocket, but still just a mess of boogers and shedding

  • We don't think it took this little guy very long to settle in. Finding him snoozing beside the resident cats says just about everything. He already looks comfortable, relaxed, and completely convinced he belongs there. After spending who knows how long outside, it's nice to see him stretched out somewhere safe, getting the chance to just be a kitten instead of worrying about where he'd sleep next.

    Irishqltr1 What a handsome floof! CDS heard you had availability and made a rapid delivery!

  • The Cat Distribution System has some incredible timing. After spending two days thinking about fostering, this tiny guy showed up before the conversation even happened. It's almost like he knew there was finally room for one more kitten. If the CDS was trying to make the decision a little easier, it did a pretty convincing job with this little porch visitor.

    MommaLisss Bless his baby heart. He knew he'd be taken care of by the big cats' slaves

  • Congratulations, you two. The Cat Distribution System has officially assigned you a brand-new feline overlord. Your days of making decisions for yourselves are over. From now on, your schedule revolves around kitten naps, surprise zoomies, and answering to the tiniest boss in the house. We'd say the new management team is already off to a pretty adorable start.
