Hello!

So, I was walking home last night in the rain, I came across this soaked cardboard box, I opened it up and found this very scared (and wet) little kitten!

I've been really thinking about getting a cat with my girlfriend but I don't have any experience with cats so I didn't really know what to do.

But after some phone calling around, I gathered the necessary bits to give him a comfy night, I took him home (I don't have any pets so I had to improvise a bit)

Once he got used to the room, he sniffed around for a bit, hid a bit, then eventually he came onto the bed and was cuddling and purring and having what seemed to be a lovely time.

He's eaten loads of food, used his make shift litter tray and this morning I took him to the vet to get checked out and to see if he had a chip incase he needed reunited with a family, alas, no chip or collar (he did have a flea collar on him)

I got him chipped, vaccinated, and the vet said he's in amazing health!

Ive named him Reginald (Reggie for short)

he's 10 weeks (ish), 1.27kg, got a "good set of lungs and a beautiful coat" and I've already fallen madly in love with him!

I was told at the vet about the "Cat Distribution System" and upon googling, stumbled upon this, so I wanted to share!

Im just about to head to the pet shop to get him all the bits he might need, and a scratching post!

1st pic was how I first found him. The 2 others are him now, he's for sure made himself at home!

I found him living in a bush outside the flat I live. He was a tom cat who appeared of nowhere. It took me 2 months to gain his trust but the effort payed off and he now lives a very spoiled life with me! I named him Pablo :)

He ran straight up to me outside my apartment. Someone down the road caught a car on their camera toss him out. He started purring and making biscuits immediately. It took a couple days to get him to the vet and into my new place, I've been in the middle of moving and he showed up at my old place. My whole apartment building was taking care of him for those couple days but he pretty much stayed outside my apartment! He's been to the vet, no chip, no diseases, already neutered. He's the most perfect, sweet boy! He let me pick him up and put him in the carrier with no hesitation and loves being held now.

On Veteran’s Day, I found this cat laying on the sidewalk with no energy, covered in fleas, and nothing but fur skin and bones. I picked up his head and laid it down. He didn’t do anything. I think he reserved himself to dying. I took him in, bathed him 5 times with Dawn but after pulling over 300 fleas from his fur and still not killing them all, I decided to shave him.

I have been keeping him warm, feeding him and hydrating him. Took him to the vet and they said that he was malnourished, had ringworm and tape worms. They said he was neutered but no chip. Also, not a TNR. They said he is wither a young cat that had a really rough start or his an elderly cat with remarkable teeth.

Either way he is now home and is slowly becoming acquainted with my other strays I saved.

He always leaves his tongue out and drools all over me. He is such an affectionate fur baby!

I don't think I'll be keeping it-- I have no idea how to take care of a cat, I never owned one. Hopefully I find it's parents soon. I think it's too early for me to look for a replacement pet.

Pulled up to do our dinner tasting and this tiny lady ran straight up to us. The staff told us she’d been around a couple months and was extremely affectionate and that they’d been calling her Cheeto. I want to call her Pigeon, fiancé wants to call her the disco strangler. Currently compromised to Margeaux.

She loves face pets and has not stopped purring since we got her in the car yesterday. No banana for scale but she is so small Id guess she weighs no more than 8 pounds

Our dog is going to be in our wedding so I guess now we gotta have this lady join in so she can visit her old coworkers

Meet Toast! She was sitting next to my window for a day screaming at the top of her lungs and I saw no other way but to bring her in and give her food and tuck her in my blanket. She has a mom who comes and hangs out in my room for hours and uses me as a babysitter.😭♥️

I posted her on r/cats and r/torties and both subreddits said she belongs here!

Meet Kevin! Hes a 2-3 week old kitten we found on a dog walk! We got his checked over at the vets and they said hes perfectly fine (other than the fleas) and we could take him home!

They did say to keep an eye on his eyesight as he doesnt really react to much being in his face, so we could have a possible blind kitty on our hands!

We took him around a few pet shops to get him the things he needed and he got SO much fuss from everyone it was adorable

Hes the sweetest little baby and I cant wait to see what he looks like when he grows up

This is not our dog?! Cat distribution system has gifted us 5 kittens and a tomcat in the last 3 months. Today we opened the front door to this. Posted to social media to try and find the owner. We have 4 indoor cats who would not appreciate another interloper 😅

Apparently the CDS makes drone deliveries, now.

My husband and I were outside as he was leaving to go on a jog, and we heard a thump on our roof. My chickens in the yard started freaking out and scattering as a hawk flew overhead and I waved my arms to scare it off.

Husband and I both thought "huh, that was weird!" And he left for his jog.

Not 5 minutes after he left, I start hearing desperate kitten cries, then hear another thump as something rolls off the roof. Then continued crying until I went over and found this spicy ball of fluff!

I grabbed some food from my cats and lured it closer (it was skinny and starving) then managed to scoop it up.

When husband got home a while later, my first words were "you can't blame me, you left me alone!" And he still blames me for manifesting it 😂 though he did assume it was a baby opossum at first.

Poor kitten was very spicy until I gave him a good flea combing. Now, he thinks I'm cool, and wants to sleep on my chest or shoulder 🥰

He was very lucky. He was feet away from landing in my neighbor's yard with big dogs outside. Instead, he landed in the yard of someone who helped found a cat rescue, lol.

We won't be keeping him because we have too many cats already, but we will be fostering him until he gets a home!

My husband named him Sparrowhawk after the Earthsea character and his great hawk-assisted CDS adventure.

We moved out here in the country 8 years ago, and have never seen a stray. A week to the day after our wonderful old cat suddenly passed away, Jenny showed up (named by my son). It was on Juneteenth and that was the only reason my family was home that day or she probably would have kept wandering on and our paths would never have crossed.

I was washing dishes and happened to look up and see this little tiny white furball tumble down the trunk of the tree onto the ground. I called to my wife and we went out to get a closer look. She pranced right up to us like she had known us her whole life and gave us her belly. Her leg was up through her collar (from trying to take it off) and I unhooked that for her.

We tried to find her owners door to door and via Facebook. We had the vets give her a once over and check for a chip, and she didn't have one. She was healthy and happy so we decided we were back in the cat game! The vet also dropped another bomb on us...she was preggers!

A month later on July 19, this tiny little girl gave birth to three amazing little fluffernutters. We had never given away kittens before and it was tough to split up such a small brave little family, so we decided to keep them all together. It's been a wild and messy ride but we don't regret a single minute of our decision.

I had never heard of the cat distribution system until someone at work told me about it after hearing my story. Can't help but feel like our old girl had a hand (or paw) in this whole crazy story...

Edit: We thought the head fur on the first born looked like the transformers logo, so meet Optimus (tabby) Megatron (with the bow tie) and Bumblebee the tuxedo :) All three are boys.

My boyfriend and I took her home and gave her a bath. She’s our baby now. My elderly cat passed away recently and this Angel was dropped in my lap

My cat, Milo, was a stray kitten that wandered into my home 2 years ago when the door was left open. I was never able to find the owner even though I asked around and posted about him online, so I decided to keep him. Now that he is all grown up he likes to adventure outside during the daytime. He was playing outside yesterday and came back carrying a kitten. Never thought the cat distribution system would pick me twice. I have no idea where the kitten came from, my cat is neutered so it’s definitely not his. I looked around for the mother but didn’t find anything. I also asked around the neighborhood but no one knows anything. There was a bad storm the previous night so I’m assuming it might have caused the kitten to become separated from its mother. The kitten seems really young, probably 5-6 weeks old if I had to guess. Luckily they ate some wet food and seemed playful and energetic. Planning to take them to the vet today to get a more accurate estimation of how old they are and whether they are male or female lol. Also to get whatever shots are needed and care instructions as I have never taken care of a kitten this young before. If anyone has any tips for caring for a kitten under 8 weeks old please let me know.

UPDATE: Our household decided to name the kitten Niko. Took him to the vet and found out he is a male and around 5 weeks old. The vet said he is a healthy weight but that he is too young for vaccinations yet and to come back in a few weeks. Niko is eating plenty of dry kitten kibble and a bit of wet food, I think he prefers dry food because that is what he sees Milo eat. Niko is also drinking plenty of water and using the bathroom, so I dont think there are any issues. He is very energetic and loves to play, I think he will be fine. I will keep posting about him on local forums to see if I can find the owner but if not he has a home here.

I had been feeding a stray kitty I named Honey for a few months. I noticed she was pregnant and I decided to take her in. She had 3 beautiful babies 2 weeks later and I named them Jonesy (orange), Reilly (gray) and Bonnie McPurray (black).

I kept the whole family and they bro g me so much joy every day! I can’t believe they’re 2 years old already - time flies!

Honey enjoys her heated bed these days while her babies love to play, eat and sleep together. I’m so glad I was able to keep them all together.

Here are some of my favorite pics of them!

UPDATE: My friend confirmed she will adopt this sweet kitty next week and the kitty will be staying with my family until then. Kitty is doing well this morning and she used the litter box in the night. Thank you all for your kind messages and ideas!

Please send good wishes that we can find this upstanding citizen a permanent home and health. Hopefully my friend will be able to take her. It looked like she has been roughing it in the desert for a while, she had a very dirty coat and a thorn in her paw.

this is my sweet boy oliver! he showed up in may, wandering in our yard, i gave him some food and locked him in our laundry room and searched for his owners. we live in the country side so i was worried i cat-napped someones barn cat who had wandered a little too far. his owners picked him up that night and said he liked to catch birds in the field across from our house. a month later my dad found him crying and half dead under our shed. we brought him inside where he gobbled up any food we gave him and spent most of his time sleeping. he went to the vet and was diagnosed with FIV, a bad case of worms, and a high fever. we werent sure he was gonna pull through but his owners told us they didnt want him and we could keep him. now, 6 months later, he is living a fantastic life with lots of treats and toys, and his first ever christmas tree!

Driving at 60 mph on the interstate, I spotted the outline of a cat shadow... pulled off immediately and chased this little girl down the shoulder. She had a detached lower jaw and de-gloved tail; vet estimated her to be between 3-4 weeks old. The detached lower jaw was an older injury, so the theory is that she was the runt who was injured in a fight with another cat, and whatever person she had "looking" (I use that word loosely) after her didn't want to deal with it and threw her out the window on the side of the interstate, causing the de-gloved tail (a much more recent wound). Her name is Fire [Fee-ray], (Fifi for short) named "four" in Norwegian, after the interstate she was found off of. She is now 7 weeks old and recovering remarkably well; she is going to be able to keep her tail and the jaw recovery is going swimmingly!

I already had 7 cats at home and firmly told myself that I would not get another cat under any circumstances. Then I found her (Cici) stranded on the highway, seconds away from being run over by oncoming traffic. I couldn’t leave her there, so I carefully scooped her up and brought her home to safety.

So now I have 8 cats, and she is the youngest one to join the fam! I definitely hit the jackpot with this beautiful, sweet-natured cat who has completely stolen my heart.
Not sure what breed this is 🤔 — if you know or have any ideas, please let me know in the comments below. I’ve also noticed her eye colours have slowly changed over time, becoming even more striking as she settles in. Watching Cici grow, explore, and become part of the chaos has been pure joy every single day.

Here is the progression over the last 2 months. He’s a sweet baby angel.

😂

Well, not highway, but I went to let my 7lbs dog outside earlier and she wouldn’t go down our porch stairs. Found this thing, puffed up, hissing and spitting at her everytime she came close. It’s terrified of me. But why is the CDS so interested in me lately??
