When the cat distribution system gives you two cats, you know you have to take them.

Two is better than one, as they say! So one is a beautiful calico that he found first. Her name is Ginkgo, and she's 3-years-old. He was walking home from work one night and saw a kitty, he approached her, hoping she'd let him pet her. She was so small and young at the time, and the sweetest thing ever. Suddenly, a woman comes out of a house right there and just asks if he wants to adopt her! She said that the stray was abandoned with a sibling next to a nearby school. She had been feeding her but couldn't take her in, and the sibling got adopted. She even let him borrow a cat carrier to take her home! 

Then six months later, something similar happens. He was walking home and saw a cat, and he of course also tried to pet it. She didn't let him though, she was a proper feral. And again, a guy comes out of his house and asks if he wanted to adopt the cat. But this little kitty was pregnant, so he let her have her litter first. They waited 6-8 weeks, and then she had her litter, and that meant he could take a kitten, which he did. He claims this little grey cat is happy, beefy, and muscular. Read the full story below for all the wholesome details.

    Hilariously they came to me in about the same way, roughly 6 months and 1 mile apart. I was

    walking home from work and saw a kitty (the area is FULL of strays, outdoor cats, and ferals) and tried

  • I love stories like these that just feel so fated. What are the chances that this man would find two cats in such similar ways? It's not everyday that the cat distribution system bestows beautiful cats to you, and he really got lucky. One is a calico, and the other is white and grey coat. It's so serendipitous that a man even came outside and asked if he wanted to take the cats! Like something cosmic just offering in clear daylight the cat to take home. And that he could have a kitten from immediately after it's born. It's a really sweet story.

    her sibling had already been picked up by someone. He was very generous and lent me his cat

    My second beast it happened similarly - was walking home and saw a cat and tried to see if she'd

    let me pet her... no dice this time though; she was proper feral. But still, a guy came out of his house
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 14
    and asked me if I wanted to adopt a cat! Little lady was super pregnant, and ready to pop. She

    gave birth the next week and he asked me if I would be willing to take any of the little guys in, and I
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 16
    agreed since I was hoping to get at least one off the street if I could. We planned to wait 6-8ish
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 17
    weeks, hoping Momma wouldn't move them. He called me at 3.5 weeks though, saying that she
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 18
    seemed ready to go (she picked a bad spot to have her babies - right in front of his door) and we
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 19
    didn't want the opportunity to slip away so I ended up taking a kitten home that day, armed with
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 20
    the support of a friend who works at a shelter and does animal care. I was terrified since she was so
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 21
    little still and wasn't sure taking her from Momma was the right choice, but I figured I could give
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 22
    her a much safer life, loved and cared for, with none of the risks a feral cat faces on the daily. I
    via u/WildcaughtNoThoughts
  • 23
    raised her and now she's my happy, beefy (she's muscular like the Rock her shoulders are insane) 2yo Beau!
