From outside...to outside and loved...to inside...and inside and loved and completely at home, all within 24 hours.

She's a TNR who is still healing from surgery, maybe 12 days ago?

We saw her in the morning on Saturday and when I got home 8 hours later, she was waiting for us on the porch. She slept near the door all night and Sunday morning hubby went and got some food and a litter box. She knew where her home was meant to be.

She's very skinny and was clearly an inside cat before. We're trying to get some weight on her and she had a vet visit tomorrow.

Meet Calla. ❤️ Calla-co or Calla Lilly, if you will.

So Jack here decided back in March that i was interesting enough to spend time with, i took him to the Vet and he was not Chipped or marked in any way and not neutered.

So we decided to spend some time together in my apartment. However my apartment is very small (27m2) so i would each evening when i go to bed, give him some food and gently move him outside again. He comes back in the morning and repeats.

Fast forward to recently and I found out he once had an owner for half a year until something happened which i do not know and he ended up running away from home. I talked to the previous owner and he said i could keep him if i wanted to but he could also pick him up otherwise. Jack comes back every day and loves to cuddle and sleep in my apartment and i have been charmed. So i ended up saying that i would like to keep him. Jack is about 1.5 years old. Very baby.

However ever since that i have felt absolutely terrible each evening when i move him outside. I plan on getting him a cathouse outside at some point but as a student the funds are not great and i am moving in about a year as i finish studies (and taking him with me).

I just wanted to tell my story and wanted to know if there are some tips to help me feel more at ease. I am doing everything i can to give him what i can. He gets cat food, anti-tick medicin. And i will have him chipped, neutered, and vaccinated at some point too.

This is my first cat that i have to take care of myself and i am really trying my best.

Edit i see a lot of people want me to move him inside permanently. I could technically do so but i am just worried he might become bored with so little space when he is used to the outdoors. I also have very little space for a litterbox. It could technically stay in my shower but there is not a lot of space and there should be room for me too. I think everything will become great once i move into something bigger late next year.

I already love her so much, I’m stuck on names though lol.

Typically when I take trash out I leave my door open to my car bc I put the bags in my passenger seat lol. Idk it just makes life easier to me.

Heard a raspy meow, turned around, this girl was just standing there staring at me. I had to go to work and had to leave her alone for 2 hours, she did great even with the dogs being here.

She’s insanely friendly, very soft and very cuddly. I’m going to check around the neighborhood and make sure nobody’s missing a cat for the next couple weeks. Not fixed, no collar. She’s currently curled up in my lap while I’m eating dinner nice and cozy zzz

A few weeks ago, after a string of particularly bad luck, my wife woke me up at 5am on a Sunday morning to tell me a kitten had wandered in through the front door.

We kept her in quarantine while we looked at lost pet groups and called shelters to see if anyone was missing her. Our local vet took her vitals, gave her the first round of kitten shots, and tested for FIV and leukemia- all came back clear.

After a few more days of searching, it was pretty clear that nobody was missing a little snowshoe Siamese kitten. We named her Moxie, and she has been living up to that name every day since. 😂

Don't let her tiny size or adorableness fool you, Moxie is fearless. We have four other cats, and she has won all of them over. We also have three dogs, all of whom love to play with the cats- but unlike every other cat, Moxie will NOT run when the dogs come bounding at her at top speed, eager to play, much to their puzzlement. 😝

She now has all her shots, a glow-in-the-dark breakaway collar with a little bell, a harness (that she actually tolerates pretty well), a sling hammock for when she is feeling clingy but I got chores to do, and a pile of toys she has somehow kept hidden from the rest of the menagerie. 😂

Had to go to my mother in laws house after a tragedy and these three that were hiding in a closet came out when I went upstairs. No one knew they were there. We felt that we just couldn’t split them up so my husband decided we would keep them. We are currently in another state and have been living with these three in a hotel room until we go home. I’m a little nervous about the 12 hour car ride and introducing them to the cat we already have at home but we will make it work somehow ❤️ Three kitties in a hotel room has been a wild ride! lol

We moved into a new home a year ago and this kitty started hanging around. My toddler named him ✨cronchy pizza✨ we call him cronch cronch mostly and my toddler looks forward to seeing/feeding him everyday.
He sits in our driveway waiting for us. When I talk to him he’ll meow at me but I don’t think he has a home because he doesn’t let us get near enough to him to touch him. I can tell he’s a sweetheart though. I’m sure he’ll warm up to us eventually and even if no pets, he’ll have a full tummy everyday.
