[2026; EDIT]

just to avoid any [MORE] hoopla from anyone:

please follow the rules of the subreddit and learn our removal reasons. it is already a conditional subreddit; you don't have to have posted in [r/notmycat](r/notmycat) to be here but at the very least DISCUSS HOW YOU GOT YOUR CAT IN THE TITLE/CAPTIONS so we know you're not a bot. it doesn't have to be a paragraph, but we need to know your cat is yours.

so many subreddits are overrun by reposts and bots, we don't want to be like them.

that said you are well within your rights to head to any other cat subreddit, including [r/cats](r/cats). i genuinely don’t understand how this became the first stop when [r/notmycat](r/notmycat) exists.

do us a favor and make it [EASY] for us to spot the bots;

we have 6 mods with only one to two of them active.

it doesn't seem like we are looking for more.

i know i personally handle 80% of submissions at least (sue me, blame me, yadda yadda) with limited access/power.

for example, i can't even pin this post aka i can't do everything….

lastly, judging by our inbox, some of you forgot that "behave like you would in real life" portion of reddit rules.

stop cursing at us, we are strangers.

EDIT: for clarity; i can now sticky the post!

ETA: i now have “full”-ish mods.

Former Feral Void Finds Fureber Home

Meet Desmond, 4.5 month old adopted from cat lodge last week, allowing new guy to feed him some Churu. He's very shy and skittish, not much interested in posing. He likes to zoom around in the dark, still hides for much of the day. He's gradually letting us see more of him. Our resident elderly ladycat isn't much impressed with him, but she only hisses softly when their paths cross. He's warming up slowly. 🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🧡

This little guy has been hanging out with me in my backyard for a few months. He was super skinny so I started feeding him a month ago. Now I’m quarantining in my spare room and his vet appointment is on Friday. lol really wasn’t looking for another cat, but he’s so sweet and friendly and he won’t survive our winter outside.

Just adopted this little guy! The shelter said he’s a Snowshoe. Named him Skelli because of his nose pattern (Looks like a skull) and spooky season. He’s super loving and very chill!

Bert Macklin found me in a parking lot at night

Five days after my youngest died suddenly, this little fella sashayed his way toward me in a parking lot for the artist collective I go to, and he looks almost identical to my Beanethis/Burt. I was super sad and drove to photo club, where I was met with an empty parking lot (or so I thought). It turned out that my buddy was inside, and despite his car being in the shop, he walked. I was grabbing my things out of my passenger seat with my whole head in my car, I heard a sweet little Burt sound. As I pulled my head out of my car, I saw this sweet boy happily trotting toward me making little trills and I thought I was seeing a ghost. He looked just like my baby who passed away. He came up to me and rubbed my leg and let me pick him up. He had pretty bad conjunctivitis in his eyes and was super sweet. I called my ex for backup and he brought the carrier (since we still cohabitate) and took this fella home. He was soooooo hungry 🥲 took him to the vet, no chip, a couple of fleas, and got eye medicine. I work with people with disabilities and one of my clients said I think your cat sent him to you because you were sad. Or maybe he IS your cat and he just reincarnated fast 😂 either way I’m happy to have him! He lets me do his eye medicine and he’s so sweet.

The first two pictures are of Bert Macklin (FBI), and the last picture is my baby Bean (he had so many names if anyone wants his full government or the list I can add it in the comments). Their temperament is so similar, they sound similar, and while I still cry about my baby who passed away, Bert Macklin is such a sweet boy. They are around the same age also. So weird.

My soulmate…

First pic is the injured, stray feral cat who showed up on my girlfriend’s porch and caused absolute mayhem in her feral colony. The rest are him in his forever home.

We caught him, I took him to the vet and got all of his wounds stitched up. I took him home and he slept cuddled up next to me that very first night. He’s been my best friend, partner, soulmate ever since.

He’s my shadow, the one who greets me at the door when I come home (even if I’ve only been gone for five minutes), the tiny paw under the shower curtain when I’m shampooing. He’s agreed to outlive me so that I never have to go a day without him. He makes me laugh - he’s brave, smart, and the biggest idiot I’ve ever met.

This is Lord Alexander Quackington, and I can’t even remember a life without him.

It took 6 years to get him in. Grey, was a cat in ky neighborhood that was showing up in my backyard since we move, we thought it was an old lady, by what my neighbors told us, but no, he is a boy around 10ys. He used to dissappear for months and come back all full of blood but last year we build a shelter for him and he has stay there since. But this summer after the passing of my boy, his biggest terror ( funny because my boy was such a pretty boy that looked like he would not harm a fly), we were able to bring him in after taking him to the vet and making sure he was clear to get him close to my other boy. My other boy is a literal baby he doesn't care about him and is teaching him Grey to be a indoor cat. I love to see Grey change, his fur is getting better and also he is helping my boy who was not good after the passing od his brother ( they were brothers from the same litter). And yes he is chuncky, he got a little happy, 16lb happy, vet said it is not too much concern but gave us a weight goal, but he is a big boy with no tail. Also his nickname is Moto Moto Terremoto (earthquake in spanish).😂

Thanks to everyone for your support. Resident cats are not hissing anymore. Eye infection on deaf cat is gone. She loves her airconditioning room versus the 104 degrees temperature outside. She sleeps in her room but joins us in the living room during the day. Thank you everyone for your kindness that you show for all cats. Blessings. 🙏💐🥰🤗

She looks so cute when she sleeps 🥰🤧
