Happy 1️⃣8️⃣th Birthday to my sweet baby boy: Dwight Howard Schrute

Around 12 years ago, I lost my first cat (Gaylord, RIP) and a few weeks after he crossed the rainbow bridge, I felt sad and decided to go to my local rescue to hang out with some kitties and cuddle with them to feel better.

Little did I know that my soul animal was there waiting for me.

I was wandering around the cat area of the shelter, holding an orange kitty who I honestly considered taking home with me. But then I decided to ask the shelter volunteer “What cats have been here the longest?” And she told me “Oh, this guy, his name is Micky. He’s 6.” And pointed to (who would become) Dwight.

Dwight was in his cage, with his four paws stuffed into a shoebox, his body / fur spilling over the sides, and his head pulled into his shoulders. He was staring at me, absolutely terrified, with two big eyes looking at me like ⚫️🔺⚫️

I immediately fell in love and adopted him.

So here we are, 12 years later. We’ve been through my final year of high school together, all of college, sneaking into my dorm room, at least 7 apartments, several heartbreaks, periods of deep depressions, periods of absolute bliss and joy, career changes, a world pandemic, getting my first dog… you get the idea.

And every single one of those years, every single night, he’s been by my side, curled up in my arms as my little spoon, snoring and drooling on my arm. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)

So happy birthday to my little old man, my furry king, my sweet baby angel. Here’s to 18 years bubba.

This is Choms. We adopted him in February and we noticed that he had bad breath and a bad tooth. I took him to vet and the doctor said he had an infection and rotten teeth. We scheduled surgery for today after doing blood work and checking everything else is fine. The doctor called me this morning informing me that the situation was way worse that we expected and he basically needed to have all of his teeth removed. I'm devastated and depressed. This was the only way for him not to be in chronic pain and I'm glad we could adopt him and help him, otherwise the people in the shelter wouldn't have noticed it. I was assured by the vet that he'll live a normal life.and feel very well but I'm just shocked by the news and feel very sad. He's still at the vet waking up from anesthesia and tomorrow he'll be able to come home 😢. Send good vibes 💕

This cat has followed me into my apartment several times now. He isn't a match for other tabbies missing in the area and today I found out he isn't chipped. I didn't want to kick him out in bad weather, so I grabbed litter and food at the grocery store. And he hasn't tried to leave ... is this how people get cats? I thought the universal cat distribution system was just a joke!

Classic© edition Found this lil guy in an empty lot begging for pets. I went through all the proper channels to find his owners, if any, but to no avail no one claimed him. My lil Orville loves to rough house with my dogs and dip his crunchies in his water bowl before he eats them!
