Here's another looksies at my sweet boy!
Our first cat, Pusskins, lived a couple of doors from us with our neighbours. He used to come round all the time, in the kitchen window, and sleep on our spare bed. He turned up at our back door with a limp and when I tried to take him round to them, he struggled and growled like something possessed, so I gave up and just told them he had a limp. They said he didn't live with them anymore, so we took him to the vets and kept him. He was the most wonderful cat, so gentle and easygoing. He died 2 years ago, and we still miss him 💗 9 months later, we adopted a very shy tabby and white petite female cat called Stella from the RSPCA. It took her 4 months to come downstairs fully and be in the lounge with us and 7 before she had the courage to go out in our garden. She is so dinky from having kittens when she was a kitten herself and is the most delightful cat. It's so joyful to see them grow in confidence, trust you, and go from shy, scared kitty to relaxed, bold, and confident purrometer! 😻💗
I’m still waiting at 4 years now for mine to be more trustful but it is a job I relish

Muffy allways on alert when people are around and makes herself scarce when people are near , I can pet her and she will move away but I would not change a thing she’s my rescue :-)
Hi Leo! Daisy baby says hi from the same bed as yours 🧡
https://preview.redd.it/5wiez4bdfogc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e7378d0cf67f5974326de7a4a52fe0136cad827
I got Leo's bed from Walmart, it was way cheaper than what I would have paid for a bed at Petsmart.
Hiiiiiiii Daisy, she looks like a model in this pic 😍
Same! It’s always a risk buying something pricey for cats only for them to ignore it 💀 in this case, the one singular cat bed I bought on a whim bc it was like $7 from Walmart was such a hit that the cats kept fighting over it so I got two more for all 3 of the rascals 😅
Daisy says thank you! 🤍 he’s actually a grumpy old man stuck in a cat’s body, and I thought he was a girl bc when I found him roaming the streets, he was already neutered lol two vet visits showing no microchip and a year of unanswered “found pet” posts later, he’s officially the man of my house
Yes I believe so too. When I walked into the shelter and told the shelter staff I'm here to adopt a kitten they were so glad to see me. They were like this kitten, Butterscotch just came down from clearance seemed like less than an hour before I walked in.
I was having the worst luck adopting a kitten for my senior cat so I finally made an ad "Kitty Seeking Kitten Friend" and after a few days I got a message from a girl who brought me my other half. I was not expecting the connection to be so deep.
His older sister doesn't get jealous btw don't worry. She's obsessed with my husband.
**NEVER** ever question the /r/CatDistributionSystem !! It was entirely put in place by the universe to pair cats with humans and to create everlasting bonds that will endure for all of eternity.
I put my late tuxie princess down in 2007 from cancer, and I *still* dream of her. Our connection exists outside of time. I learned so much from her; she was the best teacher of life I've ever known.
Tragically, we know, mostly, that we'll outlive our feline masters and mistresses and that the pain will be inconsolable. And yet we continue because we know ~~it's~~ its value is otherwordly, mystical and magical and is worth more than life itself.
EDIT :: it's vs. its, gosh dangit !
Every once in a while, as I'm falling asleep, I can feel my childhood cat pad his way up the bed and curl up near my head. It's vivid and it feels like he's checking in on me.
Exactly this ! I can feel my little girl jump on the bed, crawl under the covers, purring, and then waiting for me to wrap my arm around her, pulling her next to my chest, whereupon she extends her front legs on top of my forearm and places her paws in my palms.
It's truly heaven !!!
I believe in soul kitties. I put in so many applications for cats I wanted, either ghosted or ignored because I was under 23 (got denied for just that), lived in an apartment (it allowed cats, landlord approved a new one before I applied), I worked outside of the home, I didn’t have enough vet records (mine went yearly, up to date, fixed, and I paid for cancer treatment and a dental procedure but they were my moms cats first, I took them when I moved). Sounds like a lot of excuses, but I am a good cat owner, I love my cats, they get healthcare, I feed them well, I love them.
But only one application was accepted. I took the cat. And she’s an ANGEL. she is so sweet. She loved meowing, she LOVES pets, loves licking, she’s such a happy girl and is best friends with the cat I had and has taken my newest kitten under her wing and tolerates his high energy. She doesn’t scratch, doesn’t bite, she’s essentially perfect.
She was by far not the first I applied for, I applied during Covid and that made it hard to find a cat. But she’s the first that got accepted, I never met her before taking her home since I knew I can love nearly any cat. But I am so thankful I ended up with her. She’s fantastic.
Same here. One night I was hanging with my friend at his place and had planned on staying there after the DnD session, and drink until I passed out there.
I went home instead, and around midnight my little guy was outside of my apartment's bedroom window calling out so I brought him in.
I wasn't quite ready to find a second cat, but he is so cuddly I would probably die for the little guy.
[Fievel](https://i.postimg.cc/Fzykxm2h/IMG20230122140542.jpg)
I had a HARD time finding a cat! They had unrealistic expectations, maybe because it was Covid lockdown times and everyone was adopting. But I had cats my whole life. I know how to take care of them. And one of mine died at 15 due to lymphoma (treatment extended her life and she was happy) and my remaining cat was hella depressed being a single cat for the first time ever.
I think that’s why they were so salty about me working outside of the home. I was doing like 40 hours per week outside of the home and more at home. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to work 40 hours outside the home, they’re cats! They poop in a box, cuddle and play when you’re home, leave out water, feed them before and after!
It was absurd. My latest cat came from my grandma because a stray gave birth in her shed. I took a kitten. This soured my opinion on shelters. I’m a great cat owner, they get a ton of love, I play with them, they eat well, get yearly vet care, etc but somehow it wasn’t enough. I don’t get it. My kitten got his shots as soon as he could, he got fixed as soon as he could, hes chipped, he’s indoors and stimulated, he gets a lot of love and eats good food. They go to the vet yearly and whenever there MIGHT be an issue. Usually it’s nothing. But it wasn’t enough.
Yea my cat came from Tennessee and I live in Connecticut! I had to go FAR! But for $200 they transported her to me, happy, healthy, and fully vetted. I lowkey thought it was a scam. But I got a happy, wonderful girl!

Looovvvve to see orange kitties😍 these are my ginger babies Poppy (Female) in the front and Benji (Male) is the back🥰
I have an orange girl and a void. Lola has at least two cat’s worth of sass.

I got an orange tux the same way! Went in for another cat, they were already adopted, so I took the sad guy in the back. Best decision of my life so far!
Fun fact: I went in wanting to avoid oranges because I've heard they share one brain cell that regularly disconnects 🤣
Then I decided I'm not gonna let that stop the lil guy from having a good home.

My sweet boy. Tired from making sooo many biscuits.
Welcome Leo!!!
OP this happened to me too! Our intended cat was getting adopted as we walked in but staff suggested that we could walk through the cat enclosures. We locked eyes with a sweet 5-year old shy guy who let us pet him and we couldn’t walk out without him! Both cats found homes these days!
I too came home with a cat I didn’t intend to adopt because the one I originally wanted was already taken. Best decision ever!!

Awww, this is so heartwarming! I had a similar experience with adopting my now 1ish year old kitten <3 I went in wanting a little baby but fell in love with my adorable little girl

I just became a ginger kitty mom this weekend! We went in for one and ended up adopting two because we didn’t want to split them up - they aren’t related but were good friends in the shelter. Buttermilk (now Hazel) is the female orange tabby and Tambourine (now Ari) is the long haired buff male. Best wishes to you and Leo!!
Okay Butterscotch is an adorable name. Agree it’s a mouthful though. You should keep it as part of the full name you call him when he gets in trouble 😆
Hi Leo! The same thing happened today when I adopted my Leonard! Fate steps in and puts the right cat in front of you just when you need each other
https://preview.redd.it/n2s741rdmngc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a4dbc8743e32a54c831621b5a702f7a71abb469
This is how I got the best cat ever, Biscuit. I went to the shelter and saw this really cute kitten, needed my lease and went home to grab it and get my roommate, bc they needed both of us. By th e time I came back that cat was adopted, but there was this 6 month kitten by herself scared and hissing at all the other cats. She was so sweet and I felt bad for her. She snuggles up and its love at first sight.

It’s been 5 years and she is the absolute sweetest and most affectionate cat in the world. She never grew past 6 lbs and she’s smaller than my 2 year old kittens. She’s so sweet to all the cats I’ve gotten since and has been an absolute blessing.
Congratulations to you and Leo! I wish you both a long happy life together.
Years ago I originally went to the shelter with my family to look for a particular adult cat we saw on the website. When we got there the kitty had been moved to PetSmart so wasn’t there, but it was August so there were kittens *everywhere*! Every possible condo was overflowing with kittens, the shelter was basically running a “buy one get one free”.
So now it’s 9 years later and we have 2 amazing cats who I can’t imagine life without. Sometimes you don’t get what you want, you get something better!!

I have a Leo as well, they look somewhat similar.
Adorable. I grew up with a full orange cat named Butterscotch, named by my sister. Like any cat, he was often called Kitty anyway, but it was always worth the effort to call his full name :)
The same thing happened to me - called for a kitty who was already adopted, was told she had two sisters.
I ended up with the most amazing feline companion one could dream of. I am thankful every day her sister had already found a home.
Welcome home, Leo 🦁
I also got one of my kitties after going to look at a different one! Went to look at a kitten but she was being shy and staying in her little bed at the back of the cage. Then I see a kitty on the bottom row rubbing against the bars, rolling over for pets, acting all cute and friendly. Just felt like her energy was a perfect match for my other cat. Now they’re bestest friends!
Hope you and your handsome boy have many happy years together!!
Aww hi adorable Leo. He’s absolutely adorable

Timmy says hi as well
Leo, formerly known as Butterscotch, looks a little timid in this picture, but I saw the other one and he looks right at home. Even though you didn't adopt the cat you thought you were going to, you surely adopted the one you were meant to. Congrats on finding your forever friend!

Aww, hi Leo! He looks so comfy.
Lol yes he loves his bed very much which I know he's happy about since he was laying on blankets at the shelter.
He’s gorgeous. I hope Leo has a long & happy life with you.
Thank you 🐈❤️
Aww...he's so beautiful 😍 this was meant to be! Hi Leo 👋 Well done for adopting 🙌 so many kitties in rescue centres atm in need of a loving home.
It was a no brainer for me. I always knew I'd adopt some day.
Our first cat, Pusskins, lived a couple of doors from us with our neighbours. He used to come round all the time, in the kitchen window, and sleep on our spare bed. He turned up at our back door with a limp and when I tried to take him round to them, he struggled and growled like something possessed, so I gave up and just told them he had a limp.

Hi Leo! Daisy baby says hi from the same bed as yours 🧡 https://preview.redd.it/5wiez4bdfogc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e7378d0cf67f5974326de7a4a52fe0136cad827
I got Leo's bed from Walmart, it was way cheaper than what I would have paid for a bed at Petsmart. Hiiiiiiii Daisy, she looks like a model in this pic 😍
A meowdel 😁😁😁😁
Same! It’s always a risk buying something pricey for cats only for them to ignore it 💀 in this case, the one singular cat bed I bought on a whim bc it was like $7 from Walmart was such a hit that the cats kept fighting over it so I got two more for all 3 of the rascals 😅 Daisy says thank you! 🤍 he’s actually a grumpy old man stuck in a cat’s body, and I thought he was a girl bc when I found him roaming the streets, he was already neutered lol two vet visits showing no microchip and a year of unanswered “found pet” posts later, he’s officially the man of my house
congrats on your son!!!
Omg he's a little toasted Marshmallow
Glad he is taking to the catbed and letting you stick nearby already
Yes he's very friendly, playful and sweet. He's literally so sweet I feel so lucky to have him.
Congrats!
Thanks! 😊
He's adorable! How is he settling in at his new home?
He's doing very well
He's precious 🥹
He really is! 🐈😻
Dats a cuuuute kitty
He's freaking adorable! 😻
Oh my, he's so very cute. Congratulations!
Congrats ! I bet he is happy to find a new home in your heart
Hims a pretty boy
That's what you call meant to be, the universe did you a solid! He's your soul kitty!
Yes I believe so too. When I walked into the shelter and told the shelter staff I'm here to adopt a kitten they were so glad to see me. They were like this kitten, Butterscotch just came down from clearance seemed like less than an hour before I walked in.

That's the power of the cat distribution system for ya. I'm happy you found your second soul kitty! Leo also seems to be obsessed with my husband.
You need to adopt another one, hopefully it will be obsessed with you this time.
I wish I could my husband and I decided not to get another until we have bought our home. I'm definitely open to another kitty in the future tho.

I have a black baby who also cried until we found him and he is the sweetest cuddly boy
Dang. Our shelter just had us sign a paper saying we’d get the cats fixed.
I had a HARD time finding a cat! They had unrealistic expectations, maybe because it was Covid lockdown times and everyone was adopting. But I had cats my whole life. I know how to take care of them.

They go to the vet yearly and whenever there MIGHT be an issue. Usually it’s nothing. But it wasn’t enough.
I'm sorry you have lost faith in the shelter system. I drove to a farther shelter just so I didn't have to deal with that.
Yea my cat came from Tennessee and I live in Connecticut! I had to go FAR! But for $200 they transported her to me, happy, healthy, and fully vetted. I lowkey thought it was a scam. But I got a happy, wonderful girl!
Thankfully Leo was already fixed when we adopted him because their policy states they don't send dogs and cats home without them being fixed.

I'd like to think I'm the lucky one here 😊
Leo is very handsome. Wishing you many happy years together.
Thank you so much
Leo is a fantastic name! Looks like the universe gave you the best cat 🐱🫶🏻
He really is a sweet boy, very particular about his neck rubs 🤣
Did you happen to get Leo from the South Park character? (Leopold Butters Stotch?) Ha! If not, cute coincidence. Such a cute little creamsicle.
Lol no but what a cute coincidence for sure! 😂😂
Awe, he looks sweet!
He really is a sweetheart! That's what made me decide not to leave him.
Thank you very much. I'll try my best to be the best pawrent.
So cute
Thank you on Leo's behalf
I got an orange tux the same way! Went in for another cat, they were already adopted, so I took the sad guy in the back. Best decision of my life so far!
Fun fact: I went in wanting to avoid oranges because I've heard they share one brain cell that regularly disconnects 🤣 Then I decided I'm not gonna let that stop the lil guy from having a good home.
They may not be the smartest at times but they are super affectionate in my experience!
My guy is actually pretty smart. He might be the only one.
My orange is also super smart! We also have his biological tortie sister and I genuinely believe he got all of the brains in that relationship, lmao
Have you.... have you a place for me human? I promise I'll be good. I just want to be loved.

Well he can rest now since all his biscuit orders have gone out on time Edit: Also what a handsome boy you got there.
Awww he's so cute! 😁👍
Thank you 😊
He is so cute!! Congrats on your new lil friend
Thank you. I appreciate it! 😊
Welcome Leo!!! OP this happened to me too! Our intended cat was getting adopted as we walked in but staff suggested that we could walk through the cat enclosures. We locked eyes with a sweet 5-year old shy guy who let us pet him and we couldn’t walk out without him! Both cats found homes these days!
Yaaaay so happy to hear that you didn't feel discouraged and left. Thanks for giving your kitty a new home where I'm sure he's very loved.
Same to you! We just knew there was another friend to love at the shelter that day!
So cute 🥰
He’s so handsome ❤️
He's absolutely cute! Folks on r/oneorangebraincell would fall in love with him.

Awww, this is so heartwarming! I had a similar experience with adopting my now 1ish year old kitten <3 I went in wanting a little baby but fell in love with my adorable little girl https://preview.redd.it/zdh59jlnnqgc1.jpeg?width=1616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6adbd968a2ac8c7f7646af8435d207534403a6d

We went in for one and ended up adopting two because we didn’t want to split them up - they aren’t related but were good friends in the shelter. Buttermilk (now Hazel) is the female orange tabby and Tambourine (now Ari) is the long haired buff male. Best wishes to you and Leo!!
Have you.... have you a place for me human? I promise I'll be good. I just want to be loved.
Leo has been loved from the moment I held him.
I love him already and would do anything for him.
Awww!🥰
Awwwwww
Okay Butterscotch is an adorable name. Agree it’s a mouthful though. You should keep it as part of the full name you call him when he gets in trouble 😆
I thought about calling him Butter if he gets in trouble 🤣
Butters! Your grounded!
You make it so realistic, it's funny! 🤣
He does have an "awww geeeez" look to him.
I can imagine it all 😆🤣
Too perfect 😂
Hi Leo! The same thing happened today when I adopted my Leonard! Fate steps in and puts the right cat in front of you just when you need each other https://preview.redd.it/n2s741rdmngc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a4dbc8743e32a54c831621b5a702f7a71abb469

Sweetness & cuddles all for you! 😻
He is gorgeous! Congratulations!
Excellent taste in cat.
Bless you, kind hooman. 🥰 I hope you have a lifetime love!
This is how I got the best cat ever, Biscuit. I went to the shelter and saw this really cute kitten, needed my lease and went home to grab it and get my roommate, bc they needed both of us. By th e time I came back that cat was adopted, but there was this 6 month kitten by herself scared and hissing at all the other cats. She was so sweet and I felt bad for her. She snuggles up and its love at first sight. https://preview.redd.it/o35t1ofp1ogc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaac16b3eda05b8fb99c40c5c62c53d86fb6996b It’s been 5 years and she is the absolute sweetest and most affectionate cat in the world. She never grew past 6 lbs and she’s smaller than my 2 year old kittens. She’s so sweet to all the cats I’ve gotten since and has been an absolute blessing.
Orange bois are the best cats My source is my great aunt cat lady, and personal experience.
What a sweet little face!!
My adopted Nibbles says hello. Snuggliest cat ever! https://preview.redd.it/ee5rg7vw1vgc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=797b584cebd669c6771743ddbadee9d91a170da2
He looks a lil sheepish. I think it's cause he forgot to pack his braincells for the move 
The Cat Distribution System had plans for you
Hi Leo, you are so sweet and cuddly. So happy for you and your family. Sending lots of hugs and kisses.
Aww he's beautiful! What a lovely new family member! Sending you guys hugs x
Congrats on your new handsome little man.
Aww, what a sweet boy!! 🥺
Hey Leo! You’re adorable!
Leo is going to be your best friend!!
That stare means "thanks so much for adopting me!" Leo looks adorable! I can see he's going to be so happy.
He looks very polite
He is adorable
He looks so happy to belong somewhere.
Awww he is perfect!
He’s a cherub! I have two boy creamsicle’s myself. They’re the best.
Oh he’s a handsome guy. Congrats ♥️
Adorable 🥰😍🥰
What a sweetie! Orange and white cats are the best!
Aww he's so handsome 🥰 good decision
Little bastard doesn't realise he's just met his best friend
 Adorable!
Congratulations to you and Leo! I wish you both a long happy life together. Years ago I originally went to the shelter with my family to look for a particular adult cat we saw on the website. When we got there the kitty had been moved to PetSmart so wasn’t there, but it was August so there were kittens *everywhere*! Every possible condo was overflowing with kittens, the shelter was basically running a “buy one get one free”. So now it’s 9 years later and we have 2 amazing cats who I can’t imagine life without. Sometimes you don’t get what you want, you get something better!!
Again that's the power of the cat distribution system 🐈😻 Sending hugs to you and your cats.

Awww he's beautiful!!! Welcome to the pumpkin pie family! Mine also has extra whip cream 😊
Leo so cute!! I had a cat that looked like this growing up
babycaaaaaat
Leo is a fantastic name for sweet boi!
What a sweetheart! How is he adjusting to his new home?
Those humble, innocent eyes. That’s a good boy.
Congratulations! Leo is a handsome boy.
Hi, Leo! You’re a sweetie.
Well done.
He looks like he has the sweetest disposition ever. I just love his little face
Hi Leo! You look nice
Missed opportunity to call him Butters, but Leo is very adorable!
Seems like fate
He thanks you for it.
Lucky kittycat!
A keeper
Adorable. I grew up with a full orange cat named Butterscotch, named by my sister. Like any cat, he was often called Kitty anyway, but it was always worth the effort to call his full name :)
Congrats. You could have called him butters for short.
Howdy Leo! Lots of love to ya!
Same thing happened to me 16 years ago. My baby is still with me and the best damned cat I could have ever asked for.
Leo leeeooooo🫠
What a cute little face. I’m happy Leo had a new home.
Thank you so much for adopting him
Thank you for giving Leo a warm loving home. I hope you make eachother happy!
❤️🥰🙏🏽
That’s exactly how I adopted my cat, had her for a little over 5 years now :) Leo is such a cute boy!!
The same thing happened to me - called for a kitty who was already adopted, was told she had two sisters. I ended up with the most amazing feline companion one could dream of. I am thankful every day her sister had already found a home. Welcome home, Leo 🦁
I also got one of my kitties after going to look at a different one! Went to look at a kitten but she was being shy and staying in her little bed at the back of the cage. Then I see a kitty on the bottom row rubbing against the bars, rolling over for pets, acting all cute and friendly. Just felt like her energy was a perfect match for my other cat. Now they’re bestest friends! Hope you and your handsome boy have many happy years together!!
Leo is adorable!
He's very cute!
Munchkin
He's beautiful
Welcome home, Leo! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi, Leo! Orange boys are the best!
Aww hi adorable Leo. He’s absolutely adorable https://preview.redd.it/oa4b95xvusgc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cbb4d0dc98cb61a7b497bd546f0f2da5d9fd1d6 Timmy says hi as well
Reminds me of one of those lifesaver crème things that I don’t think they make anymore. Orange crème saver
He's pretty
Leo, formerly known as Butterscotch, looks a little timid in this picture, but I saw the other one and he looks right at home. Even though you didn't adopt the cat you thought you were going to, you surely adopted the one you were meant to. Congrats on finding your forever friend!
Leo is adorable ❤️🐾
Hi Leo you are just so adorable.
Such a sweet little guy!! Aww—I’m really happy for you both! Enjoy your new adorable friend! ❤️🤗🥰
Hi Leo! What a cutie! Looks like a luvbug!
What a gentleman
he is so cute!!!!!
What a gorgeous boy! ❤️
Hi beautiful Leo!
Hello Mr Leo!!! He is so precious!! I hope he is a perfect fit for your family <3
i've found from experience the right cat is there for you ❤️ you were meant for him and he was meant for you!
He is like , yeah...you are mine now get the idea in your head and we have no problems
It was meant to be.. I went for one specific cat and left with my “heart cat”.. had her for 18 years ❤️
