Hello animal lovers, we have quite a wholesome story to tell today!

One mailman made the cutest discovery when he was en route, delivering mail to a trailer park. It turned out that the trailer park had a lot of stray cats! They captured his heart immediately, and he began photographing them, documenting the time they spent together. Soon enough, a lot of the cats began recognizing his truck and came to greet him and demand food, which he thought was absolutely adorable. The mailman shared a post and a variety of pictures to r/notmycat, which was met with thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments from fellow Redditors who were inspired by his story.

You can find the full story and a bunch of screenshots and comments below that relay the sweetness of the mailman and the cats. For more like this, check out these hissterically funny cute cats for some extra serotonin!

    They pretty much know the truck. They come running out when they hear it. I usually eat my lunch there. Two of them will climb in and try to eat the sandwich from my hand. Oh... and they yell at me when I get out of the truck because I'm not feeding them fast enough.

    Guy...I'm really blown away by all the likes and comments from the pics I put up last week. Thank you guys. Here's some more info about the cats and maybe some answers to questions you guys might have. 1. I don't know how many total cats there are. If I had to guess...maybe 15 or so. The here's a few I don't see that often and some regulars that come out every day to my truck.

    2. Unfortunately I haven't given them any names. There's only 2 (well 3) that will actually come up to me and let me pet or interact with them. A tabby, one of the black ones and a tuxedo one (she is maybe 50/50. Some days she does other days she scurries away). The rest only eat but if I get close they run off for a bit and then come back later.

    3. I need to do some more research on trying to get them TNR'ed and maybe even adopted out. I've reached out to a few places but I don't know of or can't find any rescue groups in the area I deliver in (Newhall/Santa Clarita California). I would be sad if they did get adopted out (I take my lunch there with them daily and it is the highlight of my day) but if they can get good homes that is the most important thing. 4 I appreciate the love for the

    photos. I have a bunch saved in my phone and I will keep adding some on here every week or so (I'm always trying to do little photo shoots with them on my lunch break so I don't think I'll run out anytime soon). As long as people like them and want more I can keep giving you guys more.

    4. I know a bunch of people said they would be willing to donate money to help or help with an Amazon wishlist. I appreciate that. If anything I'd probably be more apt to do a wishlist as it would be all cat food on there. I don't want people thinking I'm scamming them or trying to take anyone's money. With a wishlist it's all cat food and I can't really do much else with that. If people want to do that, let me know and I can set one up. If there are any other questions or thoughts feel free to

    may make suggestions on here for me and that's all good. I'm just a chubby bald mailman who is trying to help some cute cats and I have absolutely no clue what I am doing at all. Thanks once again...

    Past MundaneAmbition 19 hr. ago Will send in for an Amazon wishlist! You could also start a little fund for TNR costs if that's of interest to you; you are building up credibility with posting every week and bringing folks joy! It looks like there are some vets in Newhall who may be willing to cut you a deal as well for multiple neuters but I feel you on the funds crunch <3 Cheers to you in the new year, the PostCatMan! 34 Reply Share
