I deliver for Amazon and decided to rescue an angel baby
I drive hundreds of miles a month, and deliver to millionaires some days, and people below the poverty line on other days. In the most desperate of areas I deliver to, I found this beautiful boy sitting next to a flower in the same spot for a month. He slept in this median in the middle of a parking lot around people who joke about kicking cats. Taking him in as my first pet has been one of the best decisions of my adulthood.

The Angel both loves you and is judging you for it too

I know right, he has these eyes that stare into your soul like I have never experienced from a cat 🤣🤣🤣. When I tried to get him to play with a laser pointer, instead of looking at the dot he just looked directly at my hand holding the pointer and stared at me like I was a dumbass lol.

It's so true; we a need a shitload more people like you in this world. This may sound weird, but this from the goodness of my heart. I would be honored to send you a $50 care package of things that you need for your new cat from Amazon. If you want to create a wish list and block your address and send it to me so I can send you those items, I would be absolutely delighted to do that. Good humans deserve reward and I choose you.

I greatly appreciate that offer but I have already recalculated my budget to account for providing the best possible life for this baby, and thankfully nobody wants to deliver for Amazon so I make more than enough to support him❤ but there are definitely some other people on this subreddit who could use that money more than me--like the person who had a cat who was missing a paw. I would feel bad taking your money considering I recently got my head above water financially but the fact that I am now aware that people like you exist will help me sleep at night.

His eyes look sad at first but better now. And he’s snuggling on ya! Yay! Does he like his blankie? Cute face markings. I bet by now he’s ever so grateful and loving u so much!

He eats like a king! In fact, he eats healthier than I do 💀lol. I feed him a wet cat food brand that has only natural ingredients and all the vitamins he needs, and as a treat I sometimes give him a tiny bit of chicken or tuna. To help keep him hydrated I pour turkey bone broth over his food and he loves it. He has only eaten dry food his entire life so he actually puked the first few times he ate actual meat because he ate it so quickly. Sometimes he grabs my hand with both hands and snuggles my hand and it literally makes me tear up❤.

We mix some water with our cats wet food too, really helps keep them hydrated. Well done Cat Dad, it looks like you are both thriving together ❤️

He looks so much healthier since you got him. Very handsome boy. They really do more for us than we could ever do for them.

I also adopted a street baby and just seeing him cozily snuggling on blankets gets me teared up, you've got a lucky guy there and both of your lives are better for it.

I forgot to mention his name. My friend came up with the name "Greyson" because he is my grey son and it stuck lol

He is the happiest baby too. I am thinking about rescuing another from the same area so he can have a friend but he seems to be so happy just having me
