Kittens are dumped on a daily basis, whether it be by hoomans or mom cats who cannot continue to care for them, the problem persists. For most this spells the beginning of the end, but for the lucky kitten in this story, his dumping was just a new beginning in his rich life's story.

Tuxedo cats are a relative rarity out in the wild. With most stray felines seeming to stick to either orange or tabby genuses. But our tale tells the story of one such tuxedo kitten who was sadly left by his feline mother on the back deck of a cat loving couple's home. A specific and purpose-ful choice made by the mom cat to ensure her scrawny offspring would have the best chance in life. Something that for whatever reason she believed she could not offer him. And while this side of the story is rather sad, it is nothing when compared to the delight this cat loving couple experienced when they discovered that a kitten had been left for them early on Caturday morning.

It must have felt like Christmas, being woken up early in excitement to greet their new arrival. Plonked on their porch like a gift delivered by Santa's special drones. And this couple took the tiny cat in with open arms and hearts. Giving it all the love and support they had to offer from the moment they managed to capture the slightly confused kitten. And with a clean bill of health this fluffy feline is going to live out the rest of its days full of love and luxurious food.

    My boyfriend and I moved into our house in January, and have been settling in this summer for the first time. About a week ago, I saw a white and black adult cat in our backyard,

    which I thought was strange as we live on 4 acres of land and don't really have very close neighbors. I called to her, but she ran back into the woods.

  • Well, if that is not the most wholesome way to wake up on Caturday then we simply do not know what is. Can you even imagine the heart-filling feeling of being woken up by your spouse to be informed that the Cat Distribution System literally just dropped off your new cat? It sounds like momma was checking these hoomans out to see if they would make a good fit to be her kitten’s new carers, and by the looks of things, they passed her examination with flying colors. Though one does have to wonder why she needed to pass on her kitten to someone else at all, we hope she is ok.

    Runaan, which is the name of a character from a TV show we love, and also means "pure soul" which I think is so fitting for him. He's just the cutest and most chill kitten.

    Today I took him to the vet and got confirmation that he's male, probably around 7 or 8 weeks old, 1.8lbs, and not microchipped.

  • It is so wonderful to see the CDS at work like this. This poor kitten could have just as easily found itself in a smelly alley way all alone with rival cats and critters closing in on it. But instead it was given the most purrfect home. Heck we have rarely gotten to see such devoted cat people pick up a kitten like this. His new pawrents are going to dote on him and no doubt spoil him with treats and toys every day. Honestly, we are quite jealous of the life this kitten will get to lead.
