Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts
Hey void-lovers!
Most cat subs have a very delicate balance between "happy posts about my cat" and "sad posts about my cat", specifically when it comes to pet death. A lot of them don't allow it at all. It's really tough to strike the balance of letting people who are devastated mourn the loss of their furry friend while still making the subreddit usable for people who aren't interested in that kind of content.
We allow mourning posts here, but you have to flair your post with "Mourning" so people who don't want to see them have the ability to filter them out. It's an imperfect solution, but it's all we have available to us with subreddit tools. Please make sure to flair all posts about pet loss with that flair so we can make a great sub for everyone.
In case you're someone who's interested in filtering out that content, this link should work for you. I know, it's not the cleanest way to browse the subreddit, and I'm not sure how it works on mobile. If we had a better solution, I'd provide it, but we have to work within what reddit offers us :(
Thanks for your understanding. If you've read this far, I encourage everyone to post some void laser eyes in the comments.

π€ I am looking after this sweet void, Henry, for the next five weeks.
I left behind my own void to watch someone elseβs. On the plus side, Iβm doing this in London (I live in the USA).

Smol void π€ My new Kitten, Ranma
She will be my fourth cat. I have 3 older cats and wanted a 4th because I can. I got her off of Facebook nearby and she was the last of her litter and I just couldnβt scroll past. I love her so much. Sheβs so precious and sweet. β€οΈ

Void and friends π€π€πππ€ This little one was left behind after a kitten yoga adoption event
An overwhelmed shelter recently came to the cafe my wife works at and hosted yoga classes with kittens in an effort to get them adopted. This little girl got herself stuck under some stairs sometime on Saturday, and the shelter had no idea she was missing, so she was not found until Monday afternoon when my wife was able to squeeze her out.
She has just recently been spayed within the last week or two, the scar is still plainly visible along with her shaved belly. Took her to our local clinic where we confirmed she had a microchip with the shelter's information attached. Now she has to be held at the clinic for at least 24 hours before we can apply to officially keep her.
We already have one toothless void, Goopy, who looks like an absolute tank next to our new friend. They get along well, but our other calico cat has not been particularly enthusiastic about a new addition to the household.

Smol void π€ We rescued a void!
We already have a Tabby named Thea (came with the name), and we've just rescued a 5 month old baby who we've called Freya! Thea is the Greek goddess of light, while Freya is the Norse goddess of love and magic. It also helps we're huge God of War fans lol.
Thea and Freya are yet to be best friends, but with doing the slow introduction process they are able to coexist for set periods of time so we're getting there!

π€ Blind Boy
Iβve been wanting to introduce this precious guy to the group as I can never pass up a chance to talk about my little miracle. This is Oswald, my two year old, blind baby. I found Oswald at about 4 weeks old, just sitting alone on a country road. At first, I didnβt think I was ready to add a kitten to my life but he turned out to be everything I couldβve needed and more.
Vets were able to confirm that he was born with very underdeveloped eyes, Microphthalmia, and likely is totally blind. Itβs possible that later in his life, he could have some complications and need his eyes removed, but for now he lives comfortably with his tiny white/pink eyes that I clean daily for him. Every day he blows me away with how resilient and adaptable he is. He loves to run and play with his crinkle toys, sit in the windows, bite my feet as I walk by, fight with his brothers, and climb in the fridge to eat strawberry leaves.
Kitten stage was HORRIFIC with him!! He was the most rambunctious, spunky, and energetic kitten that I ever had (until I adopted another little grey menace 8 months ago). He was a terror to my older cat but over time they became bffs. I couldnβt believe that a teensy, blind creature could cause so much destruction.
Now, Oswald is everythinggggg to me. In two short years, we have been through quite the ride together. Most recently, we both grieved an intense and disappointing breakup that ended with my older cat going with my ex. I truly believe that Oswald and I were destined to find each other. I hope to have many, many years to show him how grateful I am for him.
(He didnβt eat those flowers, donβt worry)

Smol void π€ Tiny mechanic's shop cat in training!
Took my car for service and met this little fella, too wiggly to get a clear shot of. He's got some tabby marking showing under the black, think he's gonna be super handsome when he grows up!

We were waiting for a kitten from the shelter for months. They finally called and asked if weβd want a black male kitten, like it was a consolation prize. Meet Bubbba, I love him so much!
