SO UH I MIGHT BE GETTING A CAT (cw: death mention)

فك يو
i found out this afternoon that one of my neighbors died a couple days ago; he wasn't somebody i knew super well but he was a good guy

فك يو
he had an elderly cat

فك يو
literally no one in the family wants him; they were leaning towards euthanasia

فك يو
i've pet-sit for him; he's in his late teens, but he's friendly, alert, no major health issues (though i'm going to get vet records to confirm this), great appetite

فك يو
as soon as i found out i was like NO WAIT

save the baby!!! i want pics

i'm not super set up for a cat, but i'm likely taking him to my sister's tomorrow because their cat (taken in after a very similar situation, actually!) died a couple months ago

فك يو
if he + their exuberant puppy aren't a complete disaster he'll stay with them, and if they are i'll take him, he's such a sweet boy and he deserves to live


And I`m QV
Oh no!! I'm glad you were here to look after the cat

save the baby!!

(side note uhhhhh if anyone within a few hours' radius of me is set up for an elderly cat and is pinged by this, hmu)

فك يو
he's very quiet and spends a lot of time snoozing in his bed but he would always get up and follow me around the house when i went over there

thepenguinred
sounds like cat

فك يو
the owner raised him from kittenhood; i know he would have been devastated if he was put down unnecessarily

فك يو
(not judging the family, they're going through hell and have mountains of shit on their plate)

فك يو
(but baby)

my roommate is already at "a cat followed me home but I swear I'm not keeping him because finances + small apartment + big dumb dog" so we can't take him. she's trying to rehome her temporary cat.

فك يو
ahaha hi5 for similar situations
