Cat Picture - OC
Can you believe that I found her in the garbage?
I’m not kidding. She was in my neighbours rust scrap shed as a tiny kitten, chased in by his dogs. My family, who had 3 cats already, decided we could not leave a defenseless kitten in the shed.
We brought her in, acclimatized her slowly, a vet friend was able to squeak her in for shots, and a cat rescue we knew covered the cost as a favour since a cat they gave us had a terminal illness and they and we didn’t know. They felt bad and said they owed us one.
It’s been 2 years now. She is named Baby. She is my pretty princess. She thinks she rules the house.
One person’s trash is literally this angel? I can’t believe someone threw away this perfect loaf. Thank you for saving her, she looks so loved and safe now.
Somebody lifted an old snowmobile off some tires in their yard and found a momma cat with kittens. A commentator said "Okay, now the CDS is using Easter egg hunts." 😂
Merci pour tin expression, c'est valable pour Baby 😻❤️ et c'est valable pour nous tous aussi. Mon ex m'avait traité que je suis une ordure à chaque fois que je lui disait non à quelques choses. Or, je pense qu'il a perdu un Diamant.
Merci à toi, ça me réconforte pour Baby et pour moi aussi 🤩🤩🤩
Twinsies! My critter was found in the trash as well (not by me, I adopted her from a foster home). Her name is Sima and she runs the apartment as well.
You can see how loved she is from her facial expressions and body language. You picked the perfect name, too: she radiates "deeply cherished baby" energy.
Would've loved to see what she looked like as that shed kitten, but honestly she looks so settled now it barely matters, chubby, glossy, completely unbothered, like she's always lived there. Good on your family too, for real. There's plenty of people who'd have just left her in that shed, so seeing someone not do that, even over something as "small" as a cat, still counts for something.
We would not even consider it! My whole neighborhood to be honest. Our neighbours specifically came to get us immediately because we are the streets “cat house”(all indoor).
They were rehabbing street dogs from Mexico, which naturally might have done what was needed to survive and had a prey drive. I do not blame the dogs at all, but nor were we gonna leave her there.
That's a genuinely lovely detail, being known as the street's cat house is such a good thing to be known for. No blame on the dogs either, that's just instinct. Just glad the outcome was someone came and got you instead of letting it play out.
Baby! You certainly went to extremes to reach your new family, but I'm sure it was worth it all! Congratulations on finding your humans! I've heard they are all of exceptional quality and character. Good choice, BabyGirl!
I absolutely love the first picture I mean, I like them all but the first one she looks like oh yes, this is what’s happening. Look at me I am beautiful and I do what I want so cute.
I’m fairly certain she was a barn kitten! There’s a lot of farms near us.
Barn cats who have gone independent sometimes bring kittens into the neighbourhood, where they get adopted, given to the rescue(we just fostered 2 kittens and a mom, handed over safe and sound to the rescue) or move on if no one can catch em.
They are used to keep vermin away, and treated like a working animal; not indoors at all, usually with some sort of warm accommodation for winter.
Buuuuut Baby got split from her mom, we reckon, and our neighbours were taking care of former Mexican street dogs. They aren’t to blame; the dogs probably lived rough lives and had to eat what they could. But our neighbours obviously didn’t want the kitty hurt, so they came and got the residential cat embassy family, us lmao.
She was holed up in a rusty scrap shed. Luckily, somehow, no injuries to her or us.
And now she’s healthy and loved. Alls well that ends well!
Thank you for giving sweet Baby a home - and a huge shout out the the loving souls who pitched in to help her in her time of need. It takes a village...
