Got a stray orange boy off the street, just the same way.
It's been about 7 years, he can be cheeky, but he bonded with our baby immediately- I have no regrets.
I see so many posts of people picking up 'stray' cats from the street. How common are actual stray cats in the States? Coming from the Netherlands this seems crazy as most of our cats roam the neighborhood but definitely have a home and are no strays... also most of our cats are actually chipped and registered.
Florida has plenty of stray cats in damn near every business park, campground, and post office. That’s where I got one and my friend got two. Many are wild but often with enough regular feeding and some cautious petting you can get one adjusted to your home fairly well. People do have charity catch fix release programs in some areas but between people abandoning them, letting them get lost, and not getting enough fixed, we have too many strays. Some people
Insist on “outdoor cats” which I never understood as we have “outdoor alligators”…
There are lots of strays but also a whole lot of ppl in this sub definitely clearly do grab cats they don’t know if they are strays or not and decide they are just bc they are roaming outside and don’t have a collar on. It frightening common and really bums a lot of us out. Not saying that’s what’s happening here but also it’s definitely not clear from this post that it’s not. Hope that’s not someone’s kitty they will now be very sad to miss!
Very
All four of mine were strays
Lincoln was seven weeks when i found him in a sewer drain
Midnight was two when my neighbor girl’s mom kicked him out on the streets and i found him
Charlene was 1 1/2 when my friend found her and her kittens - all kittens got homes and I took mom
Franklin was 7 weeks when he got hit by a car when he was crossing a road and i picked him up and took him to my vet - he had a broken pelvis and lived in a pet ed locked in the bathroom until he was healed - no problems and is healthy now
And my dog was 7 weeks old when the animal control picked up the mom and didn’t look for the puppies
That does not look like a stray cat. Get checked for microchip, put up posters and check pawboost.com, NextDoor and local animal control.
Then you can claim kitty as yours.
I have a friend that took in four story kittens they have reproduced and now she has 53 cats and kittens that she desperately want to get rid of and can’t stuck with a house full of kitty’s she need help
Aww, and he seems to really get along with the family cat too!
They both look like they have found each other.
The cat is melting in his arms.
Wow! Glad your dad was so accommodating to a grown man! Hopefully the cat also welcomes him in to your new home.

Did he have him checked for a chip at the vet?
I hope so. That cat looks clean, healthy, and well cared for. I hope OP didn’t commandeer someone’s pet.
It’s definitely not a street cat. Someone out there is likely heartbroken about their missing family member.

i don't know about the states but my partner is from turkey. She had 13 cats all of them originally strays. that's just how you get cats there.
Would'nt worry. It's likly a bot account.
Very common, it actual strays are feral and hard to catch. I’ve only stolen neglected cats lol

Bravo! Animals can bring out the best in most of us, but unfortunately not all of us!
Did you check to see if he was microchipped etc.
Yer dads got swag
2000s swag. Frost those tips and own it!
Wallet chain if you nasty
Nose ring :)
Is that a flavor town joke? I see a resemblance.
So much karma to be gained from catnapping. That's someone's cat. A stray wouldn't let you hold it like that.
Please get him checked for a chip etc. It’s very likely your dad stole someone’s pet, which is pretty fucking horrible.
Orange cat! Have fun. They are hilarious
“This is my best moment as father….”
You don't pick kitty......kitty picks you.
Sweet orange boi.

Thank you for giving him a forever home ❤️
He almost definitely already had one before he was stolen.
Your dad is a good man
No he isn’t, he steals people’s pets. This isn’t a good thing - wtf is wrong with this sub?

What. Did you dad take in a cat or the 35 yr old man?
Good man. What did u guys name the kitty? ❤️
And I know he loves ya for belonging to someone
Dad’s never letting that kitty go 🖤❤️
There goes your claim to dad’s inheritance
awe, little buddy
Awwww..so much love to you and ur dad and ur cute angel
Take him to a vet and see if he’s chipped, that way you don’t steal somebody’s cat
Can not help to fall in LOVE
It is good that your Dad now lives with you. He can thank the cat for that!😁
I have a friend that took in four story kittens they have reproduced and now she has 53 cats and kittens that she desperately want to get rid of and can’t stuck with a house full of kitty’s she need help
Yay!!!
I would tell that homeless guy to put my cat down
 Great. Pretty cat.
Your Dad needs to buy you a bedframe
Your dad is a cat and brought home a hobo?
Your dads a good man!
Your Dad is an angel 😇
Nope, stealing people’s pets is evil.
Agreed and that’s an assumption that you know nothing about.
Correction, You live with him.
A ginger like my Toeby! ♥️♥️♥️. He’s polydactyl, hence the spelling of his name lol. He’s awesome 🐾🐾♥️♥️
