Available for Adoption Anyone in the Houston area willing to adopt a baby black cat? DM me for details

I lost my cat Binx about 2 months ago and my brother got me another cat that’s maybe a couple weeks old? It’s still small. But I just can’t replace my old cat like that. So if anyone wants him then DM me 🐈‍⬛ Photo in the comments

House panthers are gorgeous. Sure you won’t reconsider?

Like someone said, Please be very careful Who you give the cat to, many people use them for unimaginable, Horrible things! Local would probably be best if you can tell them you need to see the new home Before you hand over the kitten. So be patient fir the Cats sake. Sorry I'm too far. I just took 2 in locally Monday.

Please be careful who you hand this baby over to. Animal abusers acquire animals in this way. Please care for this innocent baby in the meantime.🙏❤️ If you post photos you can probably get some better help.

2 weeks old?!? Are you sure? He would be too young to even eat solid food at 2 weeks. If he's really 2 weeks old, he should go back to his mother.

I told my brother to give it back and he just said he found him outside somewhere, no mother in sight. Also, it does eat solid food and uses a litter

Oh, okay then. It's not 2 weeks old. Can you post a picture of it? That's always helpful in finding a cat a home.

Oh crap ur right, let me do that

Cute! I'd guess 9-10 weeks old.

If it can eat solid food and its eyes are open it’s more like 6/8 weeks old.

Call cat rescues because handing over a living being to strangers online is not really great. That way with a rescue kitty can be seen by a vet and go to a safe responsible home.

Damn, this is actually the smartest thing to do. Idk why I didn’t think of that. Thank you!

:) Glad to hear it. I love black kitties and foster with a rescue in South FL. Us fosters and rescues do a great job making sure we find good homes and make people sign contracts they must give kitty back if they no longer want it.

Please do not give animals away to strangers on the internet. Some might have intent to abuse. Bring this poor baby to a shelter or rescue so that they can properly home him/her.

u/MonkittyKittyisme Chief Rescue Coordinator/Fundraiser EMBP 12h ago

OP please DM if you have a kitten younger than 6-8 weeks it needs to be bottle fed. You cannot give away a kitten this young to an experienced person. Please post photo so I can see how old this kitten is. Thank you

u/MonkittyKittyisme Chief Rescue Coordinator/Fundraiser EMBP 11h ago

Ok I see you did. This baby is at least 10-11 weeks old so it’s weaned. Why not keep it? Black cats are beautiful sleek loyal smart affectionate and fun. Open your heart. You might be surprised and you are part of CDS lol Cat Distribution System apparently. 🙏🏻🖤

u/Historical_Duck_8238 APPROVED RESCUER 8h ago

OP. Please don’t feel like you’re replacing your cat just because you love another does not mean you’re replacing or betraying your baby.

You’re helping and loving another. Don’t blow this one off by feeling guilty.

I can try and help you find a safe place for this baby

Aww you’re not replacing Binx! I know when I lost my pug Tobey, I couldn’t stand the silence in the house. I swore I wouldn’t get another dog but I ended up adopting a little girl about a month later. But I would never say it was to replace him. This little one could bring you so much joy!!
