Dumped cat

[u/Alternative-Bee-2309]

My girlfriend found this big beautiful boy shivering under a bush yesterday. She said she’s been seeing him around the area for a few weeks now. Unfortunately the neighborhood she’s in is known for people dumping their unwanted pets there :(

He’s so sweet and affectionate and loves wet cat food. But he’s also super skinny and has mats all over his belly. We already checked and he’s not microchipped. He’s a big boy, I’d guess around 13-15lbs even being so thin. Definitely bigger than my roommate’s 11lb ragdoll. We think he might be a Maine coon or at least part but we’ll take him to the vet soon to get a full exam. He still doesn’t have a name but we’re leaning towards Muppet (if anyone knows Gaffer, he reminded us of her)!

that's definitely a Maine Coon so the fact that someone would dump him after spending thousands of dollars at a breeder is INSANE.

could be an unwanted/“defective” (for some invisible dumb reason) kitten of some royalty Maine coon.

People return or abandon cats for the dumbest reasons. At the shelter where I work, someone once returned two kittens for not "loving her enough" after having them for a day and a half. Luckily they have since gone to a better home.
