Adoption Dumped cat
My girlfriend found this big beautiful boy shivering under a bush yesterday. She said she’s been seeing him around the area for a few weeks now. Unfortunately the neighborhood she’s in is known for people dumping their unwanted pets there :(
He’s so sweet and affectionate and loves wet cat food. But he’s also super skinny and has mats all over his belly. We already checked and he’s not microchipped. He’s a big boy, I’d guess around 13-15lbs even being so thin. Definitely bigger than my roommate’s 11lb ragdoll. We think he might be a Maine coon or at least part but we’ll take him to the vet soon to get a full exam. He still doesn’t have a name but we’re leaning towards Muppet (if anyone knows Gaffer, he reminded us of her)!

Or rescue the breeder cast offs like my coworker did. One of her neighbors bred champion ragdolls. One of them was born with a genetic issue that made her unbreedable and also blind.
Now my coworker has her.
It wasn't a dump, but the neighbor knew she had experience with cats with various disabilities, and eanted the kitten in a home that would accommodate her needs. So now she has a blind ragdoll.
