    "This little goober came running up to my husband yesterday day evening, yelling his little head off."

    He then promptly tried to climb up his leg. When I got back from grocery shopping, he told me what happened.

    Since it was already in the upper 20s last night (and a low of 15 degrees earlier this morning), we put him in our home office. Our resident cats rarely go in there. He is very friendly, trusting, and loving. Quite the purr factory. Doesn't appear to have fleas, but since he's black it's difficult to tell.

    We already have 2 cats, so he will have to stay in here for the time being. They seem curious (especially my younger female cat) but otherwise not particularly perturbed by the situation. I have already called the vet and scheduled an appointment for February 18th.

    I don't exactly know how old. he is, but the consensus of other Reddit users seems to be about 6 months. I'm not good at guessing kitten age, so I don't know at this point.

    I will likely go to the vet today to scan for a microchip (don't need an appointment for that), but I'm skeptical he has one.

    The only thing I'm a little concerned about is he is squinting a little out of his left eye, but shows no obvious signs of discomfort. He doesn't like being alone for long, so I've been periodically going into the office so he can cuddle.

    We have decided to call him "Tux" for now, although I don't know how long that will be his name. I just needed something to call him in the meantime and that's the first thing that came to mind that made sense to me.

    "I’d say the kitten (we’re calling him Tux) that showed up in our backyard on Sunday night is pretty comfortable with us now."

    Unlike our 2 resident adult cats, he seems to be a fan of human laps.

    "This little dude showed up in our backyard Sunday night. I already have 2 cats and had zero interest in adopting a third one, but his cuteness is making it very difficult to resist the idea of an addition now."

    He has an appointment with the vet on February 18th. I'm generally the type to gravitate to older cats if I'm looking to adopt. But he's such a cute little stinker.

    "Update: Turns out this little guy already had a family…"

    MISSING CAT Missing cat. Answers by the name of Bean if you have seen this cat or know of his whereabouts please return

    Turns out that this little guy already had a home, 6 houses down from mine.

    We returned little Bean to his family earlier this evening. It was a bittersweet ending to the last 48 hours, but I am glad we could keep him safe and sound until his family could be located. It's amazing how fast a sweet little kitten can grow on you!

    I will miss this little stinker, but I am glad he is back home where he belongs. A big thanks to everyone for your kind comments, suggestions, and support. I appreciate everyone who had something to say.

    Fluffy_Muffins_415 I'm glad you were able to get the little critter safely home! There are plenty of kittens and cats at the shelter to fill that cat shaped hole the little guy left
