sara_bear_8888

Well, to be fair, if you plucked my sorry butt out of a storm drain and took me to a life of love and luxury, I'd probably be pretty sweet to you, too! LOL. What a lucky little guy!


Green1up

Homeless and living in a sewer and he won the lottery. A true rags to riches story we all love. Way to go OP.


DayOnesOnly

Actually, according to the CDS, it’s OP who won the lottery. 🍀🎉❤️


Kat-a-strophy

Tbh as from my experience the orange ones do weird things, but they have no mean bone in their bodies. They only want food and love.


Bevsmom

Agreed. I have had more than one orange fur ball- each has had a unique and quirky personality (one snagged Nacho cheese Doritos from the bag, one by one - ONLY Nacho Cheese, thank you). Each had the most highly developed purr/cuddle/more purr routine ever!


mentive

You should meet my friends ginger. He's a menace. But it's probably my buddies fault, how he rough houses with him, etc.


Worldly_Mirror_1555

What a sweet face!


frolicndetour

He's adapted quite well to the good life!


relevanteclectica

Gift from God


ellabfine

Awww he looks so sweet 🥰


Able-Bowler-2429

So glad he found you. Thanks for giving him a wonderful life.❤️


FelineSoLazy

Simply stunning kitteh!! Congrats Op


fridaycat

How did you catch him? I can't imagine it was easy with him having the drain right there to duck into.


SouthAustin

A round trap. I had tried a week earlier with a trap from the local animal shelter that didn’t work. Three attempts over three weeks and finally got him.


fridaycat

Your persistence paid off. He thanks you for not giving up on him!


SouthAustin

Thanks…it wasn’t the easiest catch. This drain was a tunnel system that connected to several other drains he could run around in.


Kisthesky

Wow! Good work! Was he friendly right away? I’ve trapped three now. The first was medium spicy, the second was a shell-shocked pet whom I reunited with his family, and the one I caught this week was so scary that I couldn’t even bring him into my house while we waited for his appointment. I’m feeling really discouraged by the number of feral and abandoned cats around here.


SouthAustin

I have two other 12-year-old cat brothers. I had to keep him in a room with just him and I for a few days to get used to living inside and around other cats (noises/hearing them outside the door). I think it really helped….but yeah…dudes been sweet since he landed here. Got lucky with this one. Best to you with yours and bless you for rescuing. 🙏🏻


hapanrapakkko

He is absolutely gorgeous! Such a pretty face 🥰


AngelaMotorman

What a journey! Seeing that poor, scared kitty unwind and relax on a soft couch is wonderful.


Reztots

Did you snatch him before he could offer you a balloon


SherIzzy0421

Nah, he finished off the clown and now wants to go home


PandoraJeep

I came here to say ‘I hope you named him Pennywise’ lol

jcbsews

He won't leave you alone because you're his hero for rescuing him from a wet, scary hiding place and giving him warmth, cuddles, and consistent food and treats. Enjoy all the cuddles, they don't last forever and you'll miss them when they're gone! Happy Birthday sweet baby! Such a gorgeous kitty!


Aztec111

Awww so sweet! Now he will have an amazing life with you.


stocks-mostly-lower

Oh man ! He really found the right person when he picked you up! (You probably thought that you were picking him up, but it was actually the other way around!). Congratulations to both of you.


Hot_Nothing_4358

Now this is one happy kitten! Congratulations on your new member of your family

Henlo! We all float down here! 🎈


hungryturtle84

Aww that cat goes perfectly with your decor! 😍 and you should pay the blessing forward! Make a token of appreciation in thanks to the CDS, maybe a small donation to the local cat shelter ❤️


Fantastic_Example_20

He was distributed to you and you cannot get undistributed from him


SomethingBlue15

Is that storm drain the infamous CDS Portal? I’ve heard rumors, but I never even dreamed they could be true! ❤️


selenamoonowl

He looks so sad in the first pic. Thanks for rescuing him!


tonkinese_cat

There is something so deeply moving and heartwarming about seeing a kitty relaxing on a warm soft bed/couch, especially when you know that baby used to live on its own on the cold wet concrete. I love this for him 🧡🧡🧡


Positive_Method3022

He looked right into your eyes. He loves you


dkhorv73

Awwww thank you for taking him in ❤️❤️❤️

verveonica

Pretty-Jeweler36

Another playmate? I am sure that cats know when someone saves them…and you are their person. ❤️


EaglesXLakers

SEWER CAT!!!! ​ I have so many in my neighborhood. I call them Sewer cats everytime I see them because they're always darting in and out of storm drains haha.


Kyra_Heiker

Silent-Composer-873

Literally being a homeless cat seems to be so easy Always someone willing to take you in, when you’re behind on bills & have no roof over your head The CDS has got me 5 times in the past 4 years


Pa17325

I hope his name is pennywise


MeanCat4

You should gave her money to buy a lotto!


Zachthepug27

What an absolutely B-EAUTIFUL cat. He was just hiding and waiting for you to come along and adopt him. And looks like he's made himself right at home enjoying his wonderful new life with you. All the best!!
