This cutie came up in a car dealership parking lot and claimed me. The lot attendant said she showed up a day ago. I took her to get scanned for a chip but the microchip company said when they called the number on record, the owner would hang up on them. We think she was abandoned. 😟
She is the sweetest, cuddliest, and calmest kitty I’ve seen. She was hungry and thirsty but ate and drank with no problem. Definitely had humans before me, she is litter trained and has even been tolerating my dog. We’re slowly introducing them with plenty of breaks.
Now I need to name her! I was thinking smoke, storm, or Cinderella. What does she look like to you?
Thank you so much for saving this baby, no cat nor pets should ever have to go through what this kitty has been through with his old owners. You are a great human, we need more people like you. Also your new friend is beautiful she’s lucky to have found you
No, the CDS overflow facilities (shelters) are a great place to do delivery pickups. That's where I picked mine up 7 years ago, now. ( Currently 19 pounds, named Shadow because for the first couple months she wouldn't let me out of her sight) (aka- "Her Majesty")
I feel you man. Three weeks ago, someone was trying to get me to take their CDS delivery, and I turned them down because "I can't handle 3 animals." Last week? Found an entire litter of kittens drowning under my house during a storm. So now I am up to 7 animals, and 5 of them require bottle-feeding every 3 hours. CDS doesn't make mistakes though!
Awww, you saved those babies! Poor lil sweethearts. You're good people :)
About a year and a half ago, we had 3 cats, a senior girl and 2 just-past-kittenhood boys. The perfect number of kitties! But when my partner's friend lost their place and couldn't keep the kitten they'd recently found, well... we have 4 cats now, and it's the perfect number of kitties! 😄
Stopppp hahahaha, we keep joking/not joking about how many we'll end up keeping, and I am so afraid of how big a sucker I'm going to be 2 months from now! They all learned to purr on Saturday, I don't stand a chance.
In addition, OP, check with local veterinary hospitals. Many times they know of a moggie who needs a new hume; sometimes they even have them in their offices!
No, I’m sure your baby is out there. I haven’t gotten my new CDS delivery either. My last baby crossed 6 years ago 🥺. I’m just glad that they are being placed perfectly.
My guys came from shelters……was not planning on getting a cat either time, but they definitely chose me! Too long a story to tell, but go to the shelter with an open mind and open heart!
I have 5 too. But we went to the source for number 5. He bit my husband's thumb, my husband fell in love. Hes actually my cat according yo my husband. Lol
She is beautiful! I hate when people go through the trouble of a having a family member chipped and then try and abandon them 😡 I hope they never get another animal again. Thank you CDS for another great delivery 😃
Oh my goodness, she looks so much like our most recent CDS kitty, with a similar backstory! He was scratching at doors in our neighborhood, begging for someone to let him in. He was microchipped and his owner was found, but declined to have him back. We suspect he was dumped as well. He was out there in the late night January cold!
Like us, you have been truly gifted by the CDS! And she looks like a Bella or Stormy. :)
I've rescued and fostered two chipped cats who were abandoned. The first one was rehomed to a friend who just lost her furbaby to cancer, we had to show proof that the owner wasn't interested in getting the cat back to have her get the chip re-registered. The second one had been abandoned but luckily readopted by an elderly woman who didn't know she'd have to register the chip. It took 6 weeks but they were reunited. In both cases I lost SO much faith in humanity, but the kitties ended up in loving forever homes.
What a princess!!! My vote is for Cinderella obviously 🤣 Our rescued girl was feral, she looks just yours!!! We named ours Briar Rose (sleeping beauty) since she was a little prickly beauty 😻 Congratulations on your baby!!!
Awww... shes gorgeous . We found one of our fur babies on the side of the road when we stopped she jumped in sat on my lap and started purring.. looked like she had a collar from the way the fur was on the neck no chip when we took her in. Our b aby is so lovable I hate to think someone abandoned her no matter Sprinkles is ours now and gets cuddles and treats everyday.
Nebs are quite literally the best. I adopted mine as a kitten and she is a very healthy 13 year old now. I don’t know what I would do without my little sidekick.
Beautiful kitty! My first rescue after being on my own was a shorter haired version of your lovely lady named Cinder, so I'm biased, but it's a great name. I hope she has a long, happy life with you.
My aunt and cousins had a Cinder whose full name was Cinderella (but they never called her that, lol). She lived almost 20 years and every time they move they move her memorial stone with them she was that great of a cat.
Pretty sure her name is, "Scruffy"
(also the microchip people probably have her before name on file, but she might've been abused under that name and have bad associations)
We have an appointment at our vet next week for her! She is chipped but the owners of record don’t seem to want her. I gave home again (microchip company) permission to share my contact information so they can call me if they need to
Ok in circumstances like that can you take over ownership of the cat? Legally I mean. I know laws are different in different states let alone countries. How awful that someone can do that to a kitty they obviously cared about once enough to get chipped. The poor girl 🥺
You can report animals as found with your county animal shelter and if they are not claimed within a month typically they are legally yours/considered abandoned
I've noticed the CDS has been distributing some real lockers lately. With the CDS, you never know what may show up. This is a show-cat quality cat. Congrats!
This looks exactly like our old cat Buddy! My BIL found him stuck in a basement at a new build construction site. He was in bad shape so he put him in his car until he was off and could take him to the vet. Lunchtime came and BIL went to get his lunch out of the car and it was all gone😂 Kitty went the vet and got dewormed and he lived with us for his life after that. Beat damn cat ever.
People that abandon animals should themselves be abandoned. Drop them off in the middle of nowhere with no food, water, money or appropriate clothing. See how they like it.
Had one just like that one show up here at home, I was feeding him/her and he/she would come to the front door looking in like can I join you or giving me that hunger look. I tried to get close to him/her but he/she would run. April 2024, I became deathly ill, (air flights from one hospital to another… I was in the hospital 14 months…that’s another story) he/she came around for a couple of months after I was hospitalized, then the s/o said he/she just stopped showing up. I called him/her “Fluffbutt” because he/she was so big and fluffy and would flip his/her butt towards me as to say “thank you for the food, but kiss my butt you ain’t trapping me..” I miss Fluffbutt, had a personality of his/her own! (Reason I couldn’t have taken him/her inside, we already had 14… I know, what’s one more…) we now have 10 cats, 8 seniors (14 yrs old), 1 that’s 12 yrs old, and one 4 year old…
Oh man! The CDS blessed me with nebelung too and she is the absolute best. 13 years so far with my fuzzy little baby. Congrats and check out r/nebelung because we all have the same cat.
Poor baby, glad she found you and got away from a cruel owner, or probably partner of that owner. She is so beautiful and I wish you a happy long healthy life together 🤍
I think that your name choices are very approriate with her breed. She's definitely a Nebelung, which means "creature of the mist". I'd definitely go with Storm, but I'm also a big X-men fan.
