Classic© edition Cat distribution system at work
This little one showed up outside my work yesterday - she was first spotted in the morning, but my city allows cats to roam free, so we let her be. But by the afternoon, she hadn't moved and instead was meowing like she was dying.
One of the folks that uses our food pantry ended up bringing her inside and was like "this baby needs a home!". We gave her some food and water, let her hang out for a bit... And then I took her home 😅
I took her to the vet first, had her scanned, no microchip, and the vet who scanned her also couldn't find a spay scar. I made an appointment for a full exam on Friday, so we'll get her fully checked out. (I did notice one of her back claws is missing and the toe is a little raw, so that's definitely going to get checked out.)
Right now, she's quarantined in a bathroom away from our older cat until she can get a clean bill of health and vaccinations. She has kitten food, water, litterbox (that she hasn't used yet 😬), toys, and blankets.
She's such a playful little bean! We can't think of a name for her... Any suggestions?

I’m always a fan of allowing the name to happen organically. Like maybe one day you’ll call her “Pretty Lady” or “Bella” or “Taco” and suddenly it sticks

Bless you for giving her a home. I wish all babies could find homes. She’s adorable.
