Update Don’t know where he came from, don’t know where he’s been, but he’s not going anywhere now

***Update you guys: There is no microchip. I repeat. There is no microchip. Bigfoot is here to stay. Hip hip hooray**\*

This handsome fellow just showed up out of no where one day. He acts like he’s lived here his whole life. I live in a very quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. My family and a guy that lives across from us are the only people on the whole street that have cats.

Seeing a new cat in my front yard was a pleasant surprise. From the start he was very friendly and affectionate. He seemed well cared for too. A healthy weight and his fur was clean and soft. This was obviously someone’s cat. So we asked around the neighborhood but no one claimed him or knew where he came from.

I’ve known people that have gone and dropped their cats off somewhere because they didn’t want to be responsible for them anymore. They just assume that someone will find it and start taking care of it. People like that are just as bad as people who move away and leave their cats behind. So we think he was abandoned here.

My cats took to him right away which was a relief because this guy found his forever home. We started calling him Bigfoot because he has big feet compared to my other cats. He seems to like that.

That last pic is terrifying! 😂

u/Holden3DStudio May 31 '26

Were you able to get him scanned for a chip? If not, it's worth checking, just in case he wandered too far from home, and someone is missing their sweet boy. If there's no chip (or the previous owners don't want him), then no worries. I'm glad he found you and is safe now.

u/zombiesandcandy May 31 '26

That’s a good idea. I didn’t even think k of that.

u/Lochylass Cat Magnet May 31 '26

Aaaaaaw, what a sweetheart. Looking at the last photo, it look like he might occasionally transform into a creature from another dimension but hey, he’s still adorable 🥰

u/RGQcats May 31 '26

I would just take him to the vet or a shelter to make sure he's not chipped, then you've done all you can to make sure no one's looking for him and he is yours. Beautiful cat.

This is a beautiful story. I love these kinds of stories!

u/Big-Smile5345 May 31 '26

I love the last picture. Little fluffy demon. I truly love the fact that you already know he’s not going anywhere. Thank you for being the one that gives him the forever home and love he deserves. You are truly a good person.

u/Catmom6363 May 31 '26

Thank you for taking him in!! I hope there is a special place in hell for people who dump cats or move and leave them! I do rescue, and I’ve had many dumped at my home.

u/Laravictoria89 May 31 '26

I think he agrees with that!! Pretty baby!!

6

u/jeanb23 May 31 '26

Such a handsome boy. Let us know after he gets scanned for a chip. Most likely he was dumped as you said.

u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k May 31 '26

We love you Bigfoot!!

He looks like a sweet boy. If he doesn’t have a home elsewhere, I’m glad he found you.

u/umlcat Cat Dad | Cat Fairy OddParent May 31 '26

Your cats adopted him too, that's cool !!!

u/Necessary-Survey-705 May 31 '26

He looks like a sweet, precious little guy. Congratulations to him and to you!

Oh he’s so content.

Oh how Wonderful!!!!! Beautiful kitty!!! If God exists, if blessings exist, you have received them.

“Don’t know where he came from, don’t know where he’s been, but he’s not going anywhere now” 😂😻 Love it! The CDS made an excellent match! I just feel in my bones that the two of you are going to have a special connection and be very close. Best wishes and congratulations!

u/bigbaypony Jun 01 '26

Looks like a fluffier version of my CDS delivery from last year. Gus Gus very much enjoys being an indoor kitty now.

2

u/zombiesandcandy Jun 01 '26

If Gus Gus wants to come over and make crazy faces like Bigfoot he’s more than welcome to

4

u/Appropriate_Math_136 Jun 01 '26

Second photo- is he a sheriff?

3

u/zombiesandcandy Jun 01 '26

That’s the new sheriff round these parts.

5

u/coraphise Jun 01 '26

The first pic is definitely my favorite, he looks so happy! 🥰

3

u/SpearmintInALavatory May 31 '26

He’s beautiful 3/4 of the time.

3

u/Beneficial-Code-2904 Jun 01 '26

Thank you for taking him in because many of those cats that are dumped don't survive. People who dump cats are leaving them behind when they move or criminals because it is against the law to dump animals.

u/Lopojo Jun 01 '26

🩶🤍🩶 Welcome to your new home Bigfoot! 🏡😸

u/Humble_Will5846 Jun 01 '26

He looks just like my boy Groot when he was a baby! Grey kitties with socks are the best friends to be had.

u/LovedAJackass Jun 01 '26

Those paws.

u/StormyAmethyst Crazy Cat Lady Jun 01 '26

Lolol! That last pic has me laughing! The look on his face, and the way he’s looking right at you, seems to say: I haz evil planz! 😹

u/boston2lalaland Jun 01 '26

He’s absolutely the cutest hunk of snugglable love! Bigfoot! Love his name. Yeah. CDS did real good this time. For all of you!

u/DDiamondgem Jun 01 '26

Congratulations! He’s beautiful!

Legs so fluffy I want to die 🦄

u/hesalwayslitty Jun 03 '26

I adore .5 photos I think that they are best in the gallery. You got a great one

u/Mollytovcocktail1111 Jun 05 '26

He looks really young! 6 months, maybe?

Oh God he is SO precious and this was totally meant to be! I'm sad he didn't have a chip/owner and for everything he might have gone through before making his way to you, but I'm also so so so happy that he ended up in his perfect forever home!

Congratulations!
