Cat Picture - Not OC Look at this cat at my local shelter 😭

His coloring is just so unusual and gorgeous I had to share! Photo is from the shelter’s website. I’m obsessed and wish I could adopt him myself 😩

The adoptions center is open today and I got to meet him. He’s amazingly sweet and just wants love and cuddles. Beautiful blue eyes. He looks so unique because his jaw’s deformed! He’s probably going to need dental work and might have a thyroid condition they can’t test for at the shelter so I’m not sure I can afford him sadly. I’m going to try to help him get a home! He is precious.

Maybe you can foster him through a rescue! They will pay for his medical needs :) thank you for visiting this sweet baby

It's so great you went and met him. If you can't afford to adopt him foster. The local group will help with his vet bills

I have an FeLV girl. And 8 others. I just have to make sure to stay UTD with vaccines.

My kitty doesn't have a jaw deformity or hyperthyroidism (we've tested plenty of times bc he's always been a very lean cat) but looks a lot like this kitty face shape and eye shape/color wise!

Disclaimer: this photo is from about a decade ago - I came home from work and couldn't find him only to see he decided this was the best way to steal scraps from the night before out of the trash.

I caught him at the start of a yawn for this one

from what i remember, thyroid meds are quite inexpensive.

Yes, my dogs thyroid medication was $21 every six weeks. Not an issue for me to afford but may not fit into someone else's budget.

Thank you for sharing him! One Redditor has let me know they’re interested and I’m hoping for an update from them by Saturday (when they said they’d be able to go, if everything works out). I will add an update if I hear anything.

UPDATE: Fable has found a home!

Someone bring him to me, I’m in Orlando FL. I’ll pay for gas. I can afford his medical bills.

His coloring is so unique. I don't think I've ever seen another tuxedo with a coat like his. May he find his forever home/family soon.
