Barely 5 weeks and he was found alone in the park, according to the woman who found him. We just adopted a kitten over a year ago so we weren’t expecting to get another so soon, but my mom is a sucker lol (he was also found on my dad’s birthday).

Looked all over the park yesterday to see if there were any more, but it’s quite a large park and it’s not exactly the best place for kittens (surrounded by natural/wildlife areas and therefore predators) so unfortunately, we didn’t find any others or any sign of a mom. 😕

Super sweet, super cuddly, and currently wrapped in a towel asleep in my lap because he’s in the Poopy Butt stages (see last picture for his feelings on getting his booty washed 3 times a day). Took a few days to decide on a name, but his name is now officially Juniper!

The CDS was at work and we gained a cat about a month ago. Meet our newest baby tortie, Pepper! She's approximately 8 months old and weighed only 4 lbs and 13 oz when she found us. Photos range from when we found her to now.

She was living in the woods for the last few months near our house. Every time she would see us she would run, until a month ago. We were outside and she came out of the woods crying, approached us, started rubbing against our legs, we fed her, trapped her, and took her to the vet. She gobbled up that first bowl of food like it was the only meal she'd had in weeks, and it probably was.

Now she's a little over 6 lbs! She's healthy and adjusting nicely to spoiled housecat status. She's sweet and spicy and full of energy, but loves naptime too. She's grown closer to her brother, Pistachio, and is trying to earn the trust of her sister, Paprika. She likes to chase Pistachio around the house and play with him. Paprika isn't super fond of Pepper, but she tolerates her existence.

I love my kitties! Thankful for the CSD and it's magical ways.

I saw this girl in a parking lot last week, but i wasn't able to get her then. She's been on my mind, and today I caught her! A random lady and her young son (4-5 years old) helped me catch her. She didn't want to come over to me, but she loooved the kid, so he helped grab her.

She's been through hell, poor girl is skin and bones, got no fur, goopy eyes, and wheezes like an asthmatic on the last lap of a mile. She also pooped the most vile poop I have ever smelled, and did a little pee pee on the floor, but I forgive her lol, god only knows what kind of parasites she's got, and how long she's been outdoors.

I am but a humble agent of the Distribution System, so I will be ensuring she finds the best possible home! I've been calling her Wheezy, but that feels a little mean, so if anyone has other name suggestions, please share!

(I marked as NSFW since she's in pretty rough shape, and that may be upsetting to people)

So, I work 2nd shift at an assisted living facility. Last night I got a call from a resident who found this absolute sweet munchkin just walking outside by himself 🥺 they couldn't take it in (we allow pets but wife is allergic) and neither of us could bare letting him go back outside to fend for himself 😭😭

So, I caved and took him home with me because I already have a 3yr old cat who gets along GREAT with other kitties. He's an actual angel.

I finished up the last hour of my shift and let him hang out in one of the empty rooms. It was so hard to focus on anything but him 😭💘

My boyfriend and I took him to the vet today and thankfully he's healthy besides some ear mites which we got drops for <3 Im so excited to see this lil guy grow up.

also, I did make a post in a local FB group asking if anyone was missing him, but so far no one has spoken up. Kinda hoping no one does at this point, I'm so attached already 😭🩷

His name is Prince Dingus 🥰

I'm in a pretty rural area and my roommate and I sit out front watching the birds and stuff. Today we saw the feral cat we see sometimes running across the yard and under a pile of telephone poles at the edge of our property with something orange in her mouth... Then back with something black, then grey tabby and another orange.

So we're like cool! Kittens! Under the poles is a great little den area and we'll put out food for her. We've had mice, so feral cats would be kinda welcome honestly... Plus no mice means no rattlesnakes and that's always a good thing.

A storm was coming in, about to get heavy rain and it got cold. I decided to take the trash to the dumpster next to the pile and what do I see? Little orange man on top of the pile screaming at me. Guess he climbed up through the den to the top. Impressive at this size considering it's a pile of like 15 full telephone poles.

So roommate climbs up to grab him with the intent of sticking him back into the den for momma.... Kitten just looked up at him like "can we go now? I'm over this outside thing". He screamed until roommate picked him up then climbed up and burrowed into his hoodie. He looks maybe like 6 weeks old, pudgy and active.

The rain started hard, so in the house with us he went.

His eyes were fully gooped closed so we got em cleaned and he has the sniffles too, so vet appointment already set for tomorrow and roommate is fully in love.... Kitten is in love too. This is Toby.

Got home from work and inside from a Texas rainstorm. Changing clothes in the bedroom and heard some meowing out back. Got a flashlight and went to check it out. This little guy was shivering, soaking wet, and scared looking. We scooped him up and got him dried off and warmed up. He ate a bit and started being such a sweetheart. Went to the vet today and got him all set up. He weighs less than a pound. We named him Puddles for now since we found him in a puddle, but is also earning the name Poopy Pants for its own reasons. Thanks to the CDS actively working in our lives. 😻😻🙀🙀

This lil guy spent all night screaming around the neighborhood and jumping into the undercarriages of parked cars when we got near. Finally cornered him today midday and took him in to a warm bed, kitten milk and pate. He’s as stunned as we are.

We have 4 cats and they are settled in their ways so not sure about an interloper, but taking him to get checked up tomorrow and see if anyone I know needs a little kitten!

So far all we know is he likes food, being held like a baby, and has a healthy pair of lungs.

Ok,I'm in my 30s and I work at an exotic animal nonprofit. On Easter sunday, we got a leopard gecko unexpectedly, and then, I thought to myself at work about a month ago about the cat distribution system. I didn't think anything of it-just thinking that I wanted a cat-and lo and behold, our neighbor's cat had kittens. I didn't ask for pictures because I didn't want to get sucked in, but then our neighbor came over with a box of six kittens. I couldn't refuse, my boyfriend picked one and I picked one. Meet Bulma (white and black)and Blair!

They are so cute. I can't with them.

I'm so excited to spend our lives together ❤️

This little baby came right up to a friend and I yesterday as we were leaving the house and clearly wanted some attention. I woke up this morning and he was crying in the yard. I went outside with a single sardine and he came right back up to me, and uhhh.. I guess he lives here now? 🐈 Took him to the vet and he’s not chipped and not neutered, so he was definitely a stray. I scooped him right up, and he’s snuggled and played with me right away. He’s so so sweet and I’m hoping the landlord lets me keep him!

My neighbor found a kitten (in the pic) nearby. He is bold, brash and slightly beligerent. He chased all my kids (4 of them) around the house, he wasn't fazed when Cinder hissed at him, he went right up and booped her on the nose and moved along to explore everything else. I fell in love. Neighbor is keeping him. I now want a kitten.

I was volunteering for a day at the shelter in Dallas and there were kittens everywhere. But none of them caught my heart. I want a beligerent one. I don't care what color or anything else. I just want a bold kitty that will be all "I have arrived and you are going to love me!" to my current kids. Bold, brash and full of confidence.

I posted on Nextdoor, and people were like: "kittens don't have personalities" and "we can't predict what their personalities are." I KNOW that. I just want one that starts off bold, brash and belligerently sure that he is going to be loved by all. I think my currents kids will react best to this type of personality for introductions.

I am wondering if I should reach out to a Distribution center and ask them for a match. Or if I should wait for the CDS Fairy. The CDS Fairy was a frequent visitor in CA. But in TX I have not found one baby. I got two kids from distribution centers here. But I really do feel like if it's meant to be it is meant to be. And yet there are coyotes and cougars nearby and I suspect that any strays around here are lunch :(

What would you do in my place?

My dog got awarded a cat. We were on a walk (it is still very cold where we live) when she appeared and immediately loved our dog, she followed us home and my wife helped to grab her. We got her to the vet as soon as possible she has a clean bill of health no microchip and she is fully grown although she is not much bigger than a kitten. Here’s some pictures with our dog they are super close and it’s just so sweet
I’ve never been gifted a cat and I’m so lucky the CDS sent this one. Her name is JIJI like the cat from Kiki’s delivery service.

The cat distribution system blessed me Midnight when I was 13. We had this instant connection and he became clingy. He would always follow me around, have a conversation with me, go on my lap if I’m in the bathroom, slept with me and cuddle all the time. He also would give me kisses & hugs. He only trusts and likes me, I was his only favourite person in the entire world.

In April he was diagnosed with Kidney Disease but the vet reassured me that it was in the early stages & he would only need to go on a special diet and come back in 6 months. May 8 was when he would stop eating & I automatically contacted the vet for a check up. His bloodwork was in the red and they gave him appetite stimulant & fluids. He would eat a bit but he declined last Wednesday and he passed away on Thursday. I have been grieving and still cry over him. I’m waiting for his urn to come in soon so he can forever be near me.

I told myself that I would never get another cat unless the cat distribution system bless me with another cat, because Midnight was very special & precious to me.

i didn't go looking for a cat. she just appeared, the way the system works, and something told me to let her in

i had no idea she was pregnant. and then last night she gave birth to four tiny babies right in the corner of my home like she knew exactly where she wanted to be safe. i just keep looking at her and thinking.. she held on long enough to find somewhere warm. and she picked us. i don't know what i'm doing, i've never done this before, but she seems calm and the babies are nursing and honestly she's the one running things here. i'm just providing the shelf apparently

thank you CDS. you really said "here, you need this" and you were right 🐾

First update: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatDistributionSystem/s/AaS4YCyqID

It’s been a week since *Chloe* was taken to her new home. She is gaining weight, her coat is looking healthy again, she has stopped pulling out her hair on her leg out of stress. She is making slow and steady progress with her new siblings, and has already fallen in love with her mama, who is taking super great care of her.

She is adjusting well to her new home and while I haven’t yet gone to see her, I’ve received updates regularly and wanted to share the pictures with you all since she just looks so good. So much can happen in the span of 2 weeks. From starving on the streets to snuggling in a bed. This little angel’s life has finally just begun.

Everybody, meet Swabby. I was coming in to pick up the remains of my very old childhood siamese when she was finishing up initial checkup after being found in the road. The lady said she was gonna take this little lady to the shelter. I decided to cut out the middle man and drink straight from the cat distribution center tap.

She looks to be a flame point siamese, her Lil face and the orange tips reminded me of a little Q tip cotton swab, so swabby it is. I'm glad I didn't get rid of my old cat equipment after losing my boy. The love just keeps coming!

as you all know, a kitten found me outside my home while i was hosing some stuff off, and didn't want to leave! my original post is here:

Original Post

here is her vet update!

1. NEGATIVE for FeLV!

2. she got all of her vaccines

3. no microchip! we will be adopting her, and we have decided to name her Honeydew Melon, nicknames melon, dewdew, miss dewdew, etc etc! it suits her eyes i think : )

4. no ringworm! seems to just be a scab on her chest from something while she was outside

5. if she is pregnant, it’s too early to tell. a LOT of you said she looked like a trojan kitty, and her belly does feel big. but she hasn’t gone number 2, and the vet couldn’t feel any kittens, nor are her nipples enlarged. if she’s pregnant, it’s just early.

6. on that note, she has a spay scheduled in 3 weeks where she will also get her booster shots!

those are they big takeaways. we are also going to be giving them a stool sample to check for worms and parasites.

she weighs 6.7 lbs, and is a lot older than i expected! they estimate her to be between 8 months to a little over a year old based on her teeth. it seems she was likely nutritionally stunted as an outdoor cat and thats why shes so itty bitty : (

she hated the carrier, but was a trooper at the vet. she definitely loves humans. the more people in the room, the happier she was. she flinched when they drew her blood but didnt flinch at all when they vaxxed her! shes so brave! and was purring the whole entire time. shes a happy girl

Six years ago, I found three kittens in bad condition in an apartment flower bed, prescribed medication at a frequent hospital, and I gave them and disinfected them, which made them all better. Then someone took them, and the rest came to my house as the youngest child. When I went to the hospital to examine them, they said they had torn their diaphragm, so I underwent emergency surgery and treatment, but since then, as the youngest child in my house, I have been healthy and happy

His mother went on a long journey. She was his last child

Hi guys! First of all, a big thank you for all the kind messages and tips you gave me—they really helped.

Let’s start with the kitten I found yesterday. I was a little scared that my girlfriend wouldn’t want a cat (we already have a dog and a bunny 😄), but she was awesome. She fell in love with him the instant she saw him, so he is officially ours! 😁 She took him to the vet and he is perfectly healthy, already microchipped, and we decided to call him Milo. 🥰

Now, as some of you read in my previous post, we found Milo on the road with a deceased sibling and another brother who ran away when I approached. Unfortunately, I couldn't find him at the time, so I went home to take care of Milo and make the post.

I went to work at 7 am, but I couldn't stop thinking about the other kitten. I ended up leaving after lunch and went back to the place where I saw him, bringing my mom along as a helper. 😄 After about two hours—and some luck, because an older lady helped us out—we found BOTH of Milo's siblings: a beautiful white one and a handsome grey one! They are currently with a friend of my mom's. She has the space for them and even has a mother cat who had kittens last month, so I think it's for the best.

Once again, thank you for all the kindness you've shown Milo. I’m so happy he found his forever home with us, and now I will help his brothers. 😊

This kitty finds me everyday with a bunch of his other feline friends at my neighbor's house and it always makes me happy seeing them, sometimes i go out they ask for pats and meow at me and if i don't they start to run getting my attention

Sometimes i get home really late and they also come to me looking for some cuddles and sometimes i even pick them up just to rock them for a little while! I never tire of seeing them, they've been there for me in times i was really sad and just looking for something to distract myself with and during the times that i've been so excited to talk to someone during the times i was still just crushing on my now girlfriend. These cats are the calmest most gentle cats i've met
