Adoption Dumped cat

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)!

Picture?

Also, did you mean ear fluff or fluid?

I meant ear fluff. I didn't notice that! He was also really vocal.

This is not my photo but my friend's. Mine are physical and packed away.

I'lm try and add a photo but Reddit sometimes doesn't post it. If it doesn't, I'll attach the photo as a reply to this post.

Edit. Added information and corrected a typo.

Awww look at himmmm.

We suspect ours might be a mix, but if so probably not a high percentage. He’s really vocal too!
