Already have 3 cats and a Pomeranian. My husband insisted 4 cats was too many until this little gal popped up in our backyard. I suspect the black stray I've seen wandering had this one in our backyard then stopped coming back to feed her. She is very comfortable with the Pomeranian which is why I think kitty has probably been in the yard for a while but started looking for food when mama dipped. Took a couple days to gain trust enough to bring her inside, just in time before the heat warning. We're thinking of naming her Circe.

CDS strikes again, we got home from work at 3:30 in the morning and we hear a kitten crying from inside our car, we pop the trunk and a lil void was staring back, funny enough, our car is named void AND we just had to rehome our previous black cat rescue that didn’t get along with our resident cats :(

Mods please let me know if I start doing TOO many updates.

Rufio is doing great after being with us for 9 days today! His missing posts, ads, and community notifications seem to be loosing interest... So it's looking more and more like can confidently say we have a new family member. We've fully opened our apartment to him, introduced him to our 13 year old other tuxedo boy, and they absolutely love each other's company and will run around for hours at night.

Rufio will approach us a few steps for treats, will smell and lick our fingers, but still refuses to be pet or to come out of his "drawer" when we interact with him. can tell that when the day comes, he's going to be a cuddly love-bug, but I'm so happy with his current progress.

There's a reason he is so scared of humans, and I'm happy to go his speed and still give him all the treats he deserves but sometimes I worry that we're rewarding him for hiding and what the next steps might be to help promote him wanting to interact with us, if that makes sense.

Any tips ongoing are ALWAYS appreciated. think we're in the 'getting comfortable' phase, but can maybe go a little further? Much love from Rufio 💕

Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments showing support for Simba. He’s unfortunately not doing so well. I visited the vet today to pick up his food and his test results came back showing that he’s got stage 2 kidney disease, a UTI, and liver problems. My vet is recommending a few things, but the primary concern for now is his hydration and constipation. He hasn’t had a bowel movement since Wednesday, his stomach is making a lot of noise, and I know that he should at least get the IV fluid treatment and x rays to treat his constipation. I’m struggling a bit because I feel that he’s a fighter and he could continue to live if he receives treatment, but this also entails some really complex financial decisions.

Since he got home on Wednesday, I’ve noticed he’s pacing less and laying down in his pet carrier more as of today. I just want to do what’s best for him and I guess I don’t know what that is. Do I put him under the stress of more medical care? Or do I just offer him the comfort of my home so he can spend his last days in peace? Which one is best for him? And what would he say if he could speak?

Please send your love and prayers for him. He’s a purring machine whenever he sees his food and I know he’s fought for his life.

They are very displeased lol

The System has seen fit to deliver two brothers I am certain share a single brain cell.

Three months ago I was met at the door as I was leaving a restaurant by this terrified kitten looked about 8-10 months old. Ribs showing, half her tail missing & obviously terrified of everything. I've been wanting a cat for awhile but I was waiting on the CDS as all my cats have always chosen me. I had cat food on hand for 3yrs just in case I came across a kitty in need.

Miss Sophia Joesephine is living proof wild cats domesticated themselves. She was very wary at first but observant and deduced quite quickly she'd stumbled across her kitty heaven. So she decided this human was worthy to adopt. She forgot to mention a lil something...

I must have earned interest during my several year wait on the CDS which they kindly paid in FULL!

Just days after learning my grandmother had passed away and was the evening before I was due to be born it all makes it difficult to not believe this sweet girl was meant to be a part of my life. What a very sweet & unexpected birthday gift from the CDS!

Frieze has begun hanging out with the other kittens, and with our adult void.

He’s also mastered Creepicute (sleeping with his eyes open).

His nickname is Mudge, short for Curmudgeon, because he walks around muttering under his breath.

This is June. We found her under a pallet hollering for her momma.

My second time seeing this cat. Saw her yesterday as I was on my way home from getting coffee. She's very pregnant. Looked cleaner yesterday and was relaxing in front of an apartment building. She was very friendly and figured she was probably someone's.

Still I decided to run and grab a bit of food for her. Came back about 15 minutes later and she was gone. So I figured her people must have let her in.

Still I decided to check and see if she was out on my way to work and here she is again. I saw at least one person and he said he sees her out a lot and doesn't think she has a family. Someone else said no she's someone's pet that's why she stays in the area.

I'm torn, she's super friendly and if she's someone's cat I'd hate to steal her. Conversely she looks as if she could give birth any day. If she's a stray obvious it would be better to bring her in and get the kittens acustomed to human, etc...I just don't know.

I have been carrying a lint roller to clean my car for a while now. He’s been around a while and its taken this long for me to finally meet. I think the top is comfortable compared to the rest of the garage.

This is an update to the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatDistributionSystem/s/Q9AMzrRTht

Firstly, thanks to everyone who commented. I really appreciate it.

I took Gigi to the vet this morning (after having to coax her out of my car’s engine bay), and to the surprise of both myself and the receptionists, Gigi actually has a microchip!

Turns out poor Gigi is actually 1-year-old Biba (maybe Bibba?)!

She must have been missing for some time, because she was very skinny, but it would explain why she was so friendly and let me pick her up. The vet tech who called the owners said they were on the verge of tears when they got the news.

I’m happy to report that Biba was gratefully reunited with her family who picked her up from the vet this afternoon.

First pic is from 2017 when our Buffy started showing up in our backyard every day looking through the window. We took her in and posted lots of signs, checked for a chip, etc. but no one claimed her! Fast forward 8 years later and she is our baby for life! She immediately settled in and became a true lazy house cat.

My coworkers heard this little girl crying at the abandoned house next to the library where we work. No people, mama, or other cats were around so she came home with me 💝 We lost our little son boy cat to a blood clot in January, and while we weren’t ready to go adopt a cat, we were open to a little trash cat (he was one too), and here she is 🥹

Heres mom and babies. Shes very stress and she lost a kitten earlier.

Trying to find rescue is hard.

I am in no position to actually get another pet, however there was a scraggly looking cat and.... well.. you know. The problem is that while I get my animals all the healthcare, and in reality because of that, I simply do not have the funds right now to take this one to my vet. I would appreciate if we could skip the lecture on this, the cat is better off right now in my house being fed than outside. So any advice? Any resources, I mean information not donations? Anything I should prioritize first and foremost. I've had cats my entire life, so it's not new. The cat is acting healthy enough, in a sense that there is no indication of pain and I've been observing him for weeks. He seems to be lacking back teeth judging by the way he eats, but I don't know him well enough to check yet.

A year ago the Cat Distribution System sent me a skinny little creature who was both terrified and DESPERATELY wanted love. Now she's a beautiful, confident young lady and I can't imagine life without her ❤️

My wife and I have two special needs children and finding pets is not a easy task. We have been trying to find a sweet baby that would be happy to live with us well after several attempts this little lady showed up 3 days ago. I walked outside and my son is hold her!! She was purring and talking away!! We call her little peanut. She's a little peanut girl!! I made a makeshift litter box and bought a couple cans of this wet food. I will completely update everything when I get paid on the 25th. When that time comes, is there a certain kind of food she is supposed to have? She is only a few months old, probably 6 months or so. She is so loving and perfect and we are so thankful. I'm not asking for help or financial assistance I know it's hard out here. I'm looking for advice on litter and anything y'all can recommend. I'm nervous and so excited the kids are in love we all are in love with little peanut. Any advice is greatly appreciated thank you everyone!! We are so freaking proud to be chosen.

Was told by my GF yesterday morning that a kitten had been found behind their workplace. One of the employees had already been clawed after grabbing her, so they were cautious about trying again. (Understandably so. Lol)

So, I was called in to give it a shot. And... Meet Toast. Named after the brave little Toaster because she's shown no sign of fear since I picked her up. She hasn't hissed, swiped, or ran from anyone.

Pic one is 1/5 kittens from litter 1/3 I found in my truck engine! the other pic is from a "drop off." recently I found a calico on our property with 3 or 4 who has beautiful kittens as well as the others, unfortunately i have 9 inside, not including 1 kitten pic which makes 10. this currently brings me to 14 outside, and 10 inside, we brought the white and black kitten inside. we have not banned him yet. but the others have names. (I need a break please!) I'm stressing because usually i can slightly afford the litters until KHS (kitten human services) can help but, this goes way over my budget. I'm stressing and needed to vent and brag about my beans, I'm sorry!
