Cairo just knows his toebeans and pad need to be seen!

I can't tell if this is just normal kitten fluff or he might have longer fur when he grows up. I'm so curious what I'm in for. I already love him so much and just wanted to share!

This is my new kitten Jellybean. Someone was giving her away at Walmart on Saturday. Ran her to the vet right after and got her first set of shots and dewormed. Obviously not pure but couldn’t resist precious. My 16 year old girl Socks is not thrilled. They said she was born around March 13 but do you think she looks 8 weeks old? I’m thinking closer to 6? I think she was looking for somewhere to nurse on the dog. 🤣🤣

I'm looking for some advice about when the right time is to open yourself up to a new cat after a loss.

I lost my Neela a year and a half ago after 15 years together. She was my absolute world until her last couple years after I had my daughter and most of my attention naturally went to her. I still carry a tremendous amount of guilt over her receiving so much less from me in her final years. I just kept telling myself that things would get better. I thought I had more time.

Over the holidays I casually started checking shelters online and there were a couple of kittens that I inquired about, but never heard back from the foster homes. My understanding from the shelter and another rescue is that color point kittens generally get adopted by their fosters or their extended families/friends. Honestly at the time it was a relief because I panicked a bit after sending one of the emails and realized I really wasn't ready.

I generally order my other cats food online, but misjudged and needed to pick it up in store today which led me to the lovely flame point in the second picture. Somehow they've had her for 3 weeks and she'd been at the shelter for several months prior to being brought to the store. I feel drawn to her, but I don't know if it's because I'm ready or if it's because I just feel like she needs to be rescued. I was thinking a kitten would be easier to integrate with my other cats, but she had a companion that was adopted so I at least know she's open to other cats.

For those that have moved on after losing "heart/soul" cats, how did you know you were ready?

For clarification on my existing 3 cats:

2 firmly belong to my husband. Neela was very possessive of me so they latched onto him and are obsessed with him.

The other is an orange tabby that we've had since he was a kitten. We love him, but he's always been very stand offish and independent. He mostly keeps to himself except for random nights at 2 in the morning when he decides he wants an intense cuddle session then leaves.

We're thinking about doing one of those cat runs around the walls to maaaaybe satisfy him.

He’s 10 years old this year!

They are 17!!

I rescued her about three weeks ago and now i can’t get enough🥹 they told me she was only 5 weeks old when i rescued her so she’s just a baby. i’m also not totally sure if she’s a siamese or a balinese AND i don’t think she’s even a full bred… BUT STILL i love her just the same and she will always be my sweet baby angel. even though she can be a little mean sometimes😂
btw her name is nami not skippyjon jones… i just think she looks a lot like him.

Hello,
I am looking to rehome my two sweet girls to a very loving, enriching, and peaceful home. Or a long foster, close to a year.
I am experiencing some severe mental health issues and am suicidal. The last thing I want to do is abandon them, but I don't see myself living much longer, to be fully transparent. I am going to a treatment center this week, and am running out of time to rehome them. I have had an adoption profile up online but have not found a home that gives them safe outdoor access. They cannot free roam.
I'm located in Washington state but would be open to transport them to the right home via airplane travel.
I feel like I am looking for a miracle, needle in a haystack type of home, given that they will need a safe place to go outside, and to be fed a wet food only diet.
They are both harness trained and spend about 2-3 hours a day outside with me on their harnesses, so they would not be happy going to a home without outdoor access.
I want them to have the best life imaginable and am hoping the right person sees this. It is utterly gut wrenching to leave them and to not be by their side while the rest of their life unfolds, so I am hoping to find a home where I can get the best, clearest picture of what their future will be.
Uggie (seal point) is 11 months old. She is happiest chasing bugs, sniffling and zooming around the yard, and snuggling. She's a somewhat cautious explorer outside, and prefers to stay in a smaller radius, just sniffing around and bug hunting. She gives very good hugs, and likes to be baby talked to when she climbs in my arms for them. She wags her excited tail back and forth, kind of like a dog, while head-butting my head.
It's very precious and I'm going to miss this with all my heart. She seeks me out when it's naptime to get me to lay down in our spot to snuggle.
Suki is my sensitive girl. She has the sweetest, most sensitive heart, and will need some time to blossom in her new home. She has an anxious disposition around strangers, but when she gets to know someone, is very loyal and attached. She also seeks me out whenever she is ready to sleep and likes me to lift the sheets for her so she can sleep in a fort.
She is very sensitive to tone of voice and human emotions, and will need to be in a home with very gentle, warm, observant, and sensitive humans.
A home where they're allowed on every surface- beds at night, kitchen counters, etc, anywhere that is safe for them to be, is what I would like for them. They're used to being by me and inspecting everything I do, my little buddies. I'm looking for a home that will continue this level of companionship.
Thank you for reading this, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

glad we’re both getting some regular use out of it at least
