  • a few months ago my best friend found a cat hiding underneath a car near my boyfriend and I's apartment
  • we took him to the emergency vet and had him scanned for a chip but to our surprise, he wasn't chipped
  • PSR the vet said we could either take him in for the night or put him back on the street (AZ vets and shelters won't take cats unless they're sick)
  • THANKS FOR COMING POSITANO So of course we took him in I was NOT putting him back on the street. we also noticed he had a little cut on his back this was him immediately cuddling into my bf's arms lol
  • first night continued.. already feeling so comfy with us belly showing n all
  • he was so friendly and well behaved, we were convinced he had to be someone's baby and wanted to do everything we could to find if he had an owner
  • V3 so we posted him in every online page we could find for found pets, hung almost 50 flyers of him around our neighborhood, and I spent weeks scrolling through photos of lost pets who resembled him and reaching out to the owners to see if he was a match
  • after almost 2 months of receiving no matches, no phone calls, no contact from any "owner"... JBL
  • we decided to make him ours officially :) he quickly made himself our little shadow
  • the night we found him I told my bf he looked like a lion, and that if we ever got to keep him I'd wanna name him Aslan chronicles of narnia people you get it
  • шош and I officially became a cat mom! I've only ever had dogs growing up, so I never would've expected this for me
  • my bf and I had always planned on getting a dog. We didn't even know how much we needed this little guy
  • got him a window hammock which is now his favorite spot in the house АРЗЯТ АТИГ
  • besides our beds, which of course he's allowed on at any time
  • he has come out of his shell so much and really displayed his orange cat behavior this photo says it all
  • after taking him to a true vet and getting all of his bloodwork done, we received the news that he is FIV +, which is likely why he was dumped. I almost cried PALO VERDE ANIMAL HOSPITAL how could someone put this sweet innocent baby on the street just because he was sick. he's only 2 years old
  • but after doing lots of research and chatting with our vet, FIV just means he has a more susceptible immune system and we just gotta keep an extra eye on him :) and unfortunately no kitty friends :(
  • FIV + cats were usually considered euthanizable or Unadoptable because of the stigma around it. But they live just as long and prosperous lives as the rest of them!
  • It makes my heart so warm to know he feels so safe with us, and in his new home
  • he gets sleepovers anytime he wants
  • is the best WFH buddy
  • and such a long man! his striped legs are my favorite
  • 3 months later and he's truly the best thing to happen to us, we couldn't imagine a life without him thank you cat distribution system for my little lion man.
  • we're gonna give you the best life Aslan
