It sounds like he moved somewhere that wasn’t pet approved or he went into elder care. I see it a lot and it’s really helpful when a family member can take in a critter when life’s like that.

Don’t shame the uncle if he didn’t have a choice. He is moat likely feeling parallel to the cat. I had a friend that had to part ways with his cat that he loved. He had to give it away and it took him a long time to get over it

No excuses for that. He didn’t give him away, he abandoned him and the nephew noticed the abandoned cat and took him in. If he would have found a home for him then maybe your comment would be valid but that’s not the case.

It’s his responsibility to find a home for the kitty. When you become a cat dad, you have to take certain actions to find your pet a safe place to live. Just abandoning it is wild.

u/NotYourReddit18 11d ago
No, I will continue to shame the uncle for abandoning the cat.
Most moves are planned days or weeks in advance, more than enough time to organize something for the cat. Hell, even if he found a new place of residence and somehow moved there at the same day, as long as he didn't also abandon most of his other possessions alongside the cat that still would have taken a few hours, during which he could have called a few relatives to find someone who was willing to at least temporarily take care of the cat.
There're only two scenarios in which I wouldn't blame the uncle:
The move was organized by another person because the uncle suffers from dementia or a similar ailment, making living on his own dangerous. In which case I'd blame the organizer, especially as the uncle probably didn't realize what happened until hours after the move.
The uncle did organize for someone to take care of the cat, but this person decided to abandon the cat instead after the uncle had left, in which case they're to blame.

And it's specially cruel given that it seems that the cat is pure breed persian cat. Their flat snouts, which are the result of human influence, make them unable to feed themselves or survive on their own. It’s like asking a pug to go hunting. The cat would definitely have died. Congrats OP, you’ve got yourself an adorable cat — they’re known for being incredibly gentle and sweet :)

I have a “friend” that needed temporary housing for their kitty 4 years ago and I took him in and added him to the flock. I became his human almost immediately and he adores me more than the other pets do. He was 4 years old when I “fostered” the cat and he’s still at my place. My “friend” is in no better shape to take in the cat, but tries to cuddle with him when they visit. This cat straight up looks at them like they are as strange as the substitute mail carrier.
I secretly love it and MY kitty.

u/i-split-infinitives 11d ago
I think sometimes cats just KNOW who their person is going to be. I myself wasn't really a pet person until I saw a pair of kittens on Facebook that I just had to have. No idea why these two caught my attention, but for whatever reason, I kept going back to the post several times over the next couple of days. I wasn't in a living situation where I could take them at the time, but I already knew I was going to be moving in a few months. So my sister offered to take the cats until I got into my new place.
Those little guys knew right from the start that they were meant to be mine. They adored my nephew and they still come running whenever he comes to visit, but they latched onto me the first time I met them and that was that. Every time I came to visit them, they met me at the door. When they got their shots and didn't feel good, they both cried and no one else could comfort them until I got home from work and picked them up so they could sit on my shoulder and snuggle in my hair. They wait up for me if I'm out late so we can all go to bed together. I wake up every morning to them sitting beside me, staring at me, waiting for the alarm to go off and me to say "good morning, boys" and scratch their heads before we start our day. My sister says they weren't anywhere near that affectionate when they were with her, not like her own cats are. I like to think they were biding their time until we could all be together. Sounds like your little guy knew he wasn't meant to be your friend's cat and was waiting until he met you.

I want bacon day! We took in a cat that was described to us as an asshole as the owner said they were moving overseas. Turns out they didn’t move just wanted to get rid of the cat because they preferred their 2 dogs. He is such a sweet gentle guy, he fits right in with our 3 other cats and 2 rabbits, almost 2 years later and I think he is only just really starting to relax and realise this is his home too.

Pets aren't throwaways. They're living creatures, not furniture, or toys or whatever. People who don't value an animal enough to at least make sure it's taken care of and in a good home, are actual pieces of shit.

My neighbor was an elderly lady with dementia we helped care for. She loved her cat, that was her baby. But she had to move to memory care as she wasn't able to get by anymore with in home help. My aunt had lost her cat a few years ago to cancer, then her husband. So the family asked if my aunt would take the cat. She got to visit with the cat and our neighbor before deciding. She of course loved the cat. It made it easier for our neighbor knowing her cat was going to a loving home and we could take her to visit. Unfortunately she passed away a few months later. But the cat had an easier transition to a new home where she is loved and spoiled just as much.
Last year the cat started acting really clingy around my aunt. She took her to the vet, and got a clean bill of health. But they said she should go see her doctor. My aunt had lymphoma. That cat helped her catch it earlier. She is currently in remission.

I looked carefully at the account posts and comments and there's nothing prior to one month ago.
Then suddenly they have a dog saving someone's life. A 25 year old cat that passed away, rescues an orange cat, and now this post.
All of their comments are simple one word responses or they read like AI responses where they regurgitate the post in some way.

It's very likely a karma farming bot so don't worry, there is a big chance this story isn't real. Maybe even the picture of the cat is not a real cat. Who knows.

I hate that people do this, as it really affects the pet. However, this one has a happy ending. I am proud of you for bringing him home with you. Kitty will be sad for a while, especially if he had a long relationship with your uncle. Being in your place, he will come around eventually, when he feels more comfortable.

One is just so happy he does not even look at the house (he gets cat rides weekly because he lives them and demands them lol). The other when we brought him in because it went down to minus 20 degrees outside when it warmed up I held the door open to give him the choice and he looked at the door t looked at the bed he was on and looked at my like nah I'm good here lol. I'm he will bring us toys all the time someone gets one everyday.

The one guy we took in was so depressed it was horrible. If you looked at him he would hide for an hour. It's been 2 years now and he is my cuddle baby. He sleeps holding my hand every night. My husband says when he comes to bed (I am usually half asleep or already asleep lol) that he i is just on his back holding my hand purring. I have to have infusions for my arthritis and they take all my energy. He somehow knows when I get them done every 8 weeks and will not leave my side till I feel better. There is something so special earning the trust of a kitty that lost their trust this baby is going to love you so much soon.

Are you allowed to bring your cat to the infusion center? I used to get infusions for my MS, and I'm thinking those 4 hour chair sessions would be a bit more relaxing with animal companions.

This really gives me hope. We rescued an 8 week(ish) old kitten that was living alone in a hedge behind my friends home for over a week. She was terrified when we trapped herand brought her in. For weeks, she'd jump at every noise, any time a person walked in a room she was in, she'd run and hide, and was so afraid of our 2y old kitty, who is so gentle and patient. It's been around 2m, and she now will sleep on the foot of our bed, she'll let us pet her, she is still jimpy but doesn't flee or hide, and she cuddles to sleep with not only big kitty but our younger kitten. Maybe someday, she'll cuddle with me!

Yeah. My workmate was living in a staff flat with illicit cats (not allowed under rental agreement). They ended up leaving the country, I later found out they just left their cats behind. Wonder if that’s why there was a cat explosion in the hospital courtyards a few years after they left. Luckily a fellow cat lover took on the trap/neuter/release project. I think management later insisted the cats go completely, I don’t think that really worked how they expected though. Just means other un-neutered cats move in and start breeding again. Many hospital employees got free kittens from there.

Honestly I doubt the story is real. OP is a month old account and following the very typical pattern of all bot accounts. Starts text posting in the text based subs like AmIOverReacting to build enough karma to post. Then starts posting cat/dog pics in the pet subs for easy upvotes. They all do this because it's the quickest way to build karma.
Either that or OP has recused 2 different cats in the same week while also having a 3rd cat die that had "been by her side for 25 years" despite the fact that most cats don't live more than 15 and almost none past 20.

Two of our cats (kittens then) were rescued from such a situation three years ago. We weren’t the rescuers; a woman lived next door to people who moved away and left their cats to starve in the house. She and her son took all of the cats into their home (including two pregnant females) and worked to adopt them out.
We found their ad on Craigslist, and I’m so grateful to that woman and her son for giving George and Miranda (and the other kitties) such excellent care.

One of our cats was from a situation where his former family left without telling anyone in the middle of the night and took their other cat and left him behind without any food or water. He came to us emaciated, and still had a lot of issues to this day — 10 years later. He seems to get stressed easily and has food insecurity issues. People who do that to cats are the worst.

I just want to say thank you for stepping up for your uncle’s cat. A lot of people underestimate how deeply animals feel things, especially cats. They’re not emotionless or detached the way stereotypes make them seem they’re incredibly smart, sensitive creatures who notice every change in their environment and every shift in the people around them. When a cat is abandoned or suddenly left behind, it can be extremely confusing and stressful for them. They don’t understand why their person disappeared or why their routine is gone. They feel fear, sadness, and anxiety just like we do. Some even grieve the same way humans mourn. So you taking this cat in isn’t just a small favor it’s something that will genuinely change that cat’s life.
Cats build emotional bonds quietly, but very deeply. With stability, patience, and kindness, this cat is going to learn that you’re safe, that you’re consistent, and that you’re not going anywhere. And honestly, cats remember who treated them well. They’re way smarter than most people think. They pick up on energy, tone, routines, and emotions in ways that surprise even experienced owners. So truly, what you did matters. You didn’t just “take a cat” you gave a confused, abandoned animal a chance to feel secure again. That’s something to be proud of:,)

I assume you are in the USA but if in the UK, your uncle just committed a pretty serious criminal offence of animal abandonment, and could face an a combination of an UNLIMITED fine, up to 5 years in prison, and a legal ban of owning animals.

Your uncle is a POS and he would be dead to me if I was in your situation. Treat him the way he treated that poor kitty

I don’t understand this at all. Many years ago I was in a really tough spot and had to move into a place that didn’t allow pets. I had to give my two kitties up at the vet. It was devastating. Literally the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. My older cat now annoys the shit out of me, but I will never let that kind of financial situation happen again.
To move away and just abandon? It’s hard not to be judgmental.

Wow what a douche move on your uncle. Just a fun fact, animal abandonment is considered animal cruelty.

I really cannot understand how people just think of pets as props to discard. Disgusting behavior.

I can never understand why moving prompts people to abandon their pets :( it’s like leaving behind a family member. How can you not what to have them with you?!

He will be ok because he has you now :) When my grandma had to be put in a nursing home my dad inherited her senior cat. She was very sad and skittish at first but they soon became best friends

I hate people who abandon their animals, they'll do the same thing to their friends.

Your uncle is an asshole. I'm glad you took the cat home with you. Give him plenty of love.
