    My next post was supposed to be introducing y'all to Biscuit and Jam, who I mentioned in my last post, but that'll have to wait because of my new friend!

    I was walking to the grocery store on Tuesday when I saw this little guy sleeping on the side of the road. I approached him to see if he'd let me touch him, and he

    there on my way back, and sent a text to the family group saying I'd probably be bringing a kitten home.

    Luckily, he was still there when I came back, and I was able to carry him home. My neighbours definitely think I'm a weirdo because at some point I was on

    Anyway, I brought him home and fed him. He did some exploring, met the other kittens, and is now pretty settled in. He spends most of his time cuddling with someone or just loafing around on various pieces of furniture.

    We did a kind of dry wash yesterday (wiped him down with some cat-safe wipes), and a more proper one today (flea shampoo and water-didn't see any fleas on him, but just in

    We've already found a home for him. The person who was going to take Twist is gonna take him instead. I was worried Twist wouldn't take well to being a solo

    kitten, since he's so used to jumping around with the others. But this little guy prefers to either be alone or cuddle up with a human, so he's a better fit for the home he's going to. He's going this weekend.

    jazzylady999 He cleans up very well! That second picture of him is adorable! Thank you for choosing the right home for him!

  • A little cleanup really turned him into a handsome little guy. It’s amazing what some food, a safe place, and a proper wash can do. Under all that dirt was just a sweet kitten waiting to shine. Now he looks like a completely different cat and seems a lot more comfortable too. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of care to bring out the best in them.

    Ok_Foot1988 Thank you for giving this adorable kitty a home.

  • Amazing job stepping in to rescue him and already finding him a home. It’s not easy to take that on, especially out of the blue, but it makes such a huge difference for a kitten like this. Now he’s safe, cared for, and headed somewhere he can really settle in. That’s a pretty great outcome for a chance encounter on the side of the road.

    Temarimaru The bushy eyebrows warms my heart!

  • Those little eyebrows are way too cute. It looks like he’s permanently surprised about everything going on around him. They give him so much personality and make his expressions even better. You can’t help but notice them right away. It’s such a tiny detail, but it somehow makes him even more adorable than he already is.
