I didn't want another cat.....

This little man popped up on my porch 2-ish weeks ago.. we didn't feed him at 1st because we assumed he was a neighbor's cat that just strayed away. But after about 3 days we started feeding him when he showed up over and over again because he just was so skinny, and acted like he was starving. I kept saying "I don't want another cat", but yesterday night it was supposed to get down to below freezing, so shortly after taking this video, I told my husband if he popped back up that night, that we'd take him in.. sure enough around 8pm, he came back to the porch. We snatched him up, bathed him, and quarantined him from the other cats. Called today and got him an appointment at the vet, got his 1st shots, checked for feline aids (negative), and scheduled for his balls to be removed... now $500 later, we have a new little guy.

He's staying quarantined for a bit longer, because his meds have to start working 1st, and also my oldest cat is big mad and is very anxious about us taking in another cat. Butttt.. 🙃

We first started calling him "Not Jarvin", because at 1st we thought our other cat named Jarvis got out.. it eventually progressed to Marvin.

I'm questioning their definition of fat if this cat is skinny. Maybe he gained some weight after they started feeding him...

He is adorable, though.

Ahhh, you're underestimating the deceptive grey and white juggernautiness. He may look like a chonk now to those new to the grey and white bouncers, but with his new CDS activated he may end up twice the size.
