    More than three years ago, mom cat showed up on my ring camera. For months, I fed her by leaving food and water out. She looked

    like a kitten and I was hoping to TNR her or at least see if she was microchipped. Well before any of that could happen, she shows up

    Well one day she stopped showing up and I got scared she got hit by a car or shot or eaten by the crazy dogs that seem abundant in my neighborhood.

    We bring them while we wait for their spay and neuter schedule. Anyway I got super attached to the voids even though we were only supposed to foster.

    Bean. They are the craziest cats I've ever met but also the snuggliest. I love them so much. Help me wish them a happy birthday.

    DiveCat Thank you for saving them all! I am always happy to hear when mama cats get adopted too, they earned it!

  • Really nice to hear the kittens and the mama all got adopted. That’s the kind of update you hope for, knowing they didn’t just get placed somewhere but actually ended up in good homes. It doesn’t always work out that cleanly, so hearing all of them found people is great. Even better knowing they’re settled in and taken care of, not just moved along.

    TheDitz42 Oh the back of that chair tells a tale.

  • That chair is clearly meant for the cats now, especially with the back all scratched up like that. You can see exactly where they’ve been working at it, little marks everywhere like it’s their personal project. It probably started as a normal chair, but they’ve climbed it, scratched it, and turned it into something completely theirs. It looks less like furniture and more like a cat tower.

    IndividualAd1290 I love that you kept them all together

  • Love seeing siblings get adopted together and stay that way. It makes such a difference for them to grow up side by side, already familiar with each other. They’ve got built-in company, someone to play with, and that comfort from day one. It just feels like a better setup all around when they don’t have to be split up.
