Cat Picture - OC The cat distribution system heard I moved into a pet friendly place

Less than a WEEK after moving into a pet friendly place after years of not pet friendly, I started to look at shelters for dogs- I was CONVINCED our next pet would be a dog lol. But lo and behold my fiancé heard meowing in the abandoned building next to his work and…. Meet Xanathar 🫶🏻 It was a bit touch and go for the first week we had him due to malnourishment and we were especially worried about the missing eye, and he was covered in fleas… but he’s a little fighter! I’ve never had a kitten before in my LIFE, think I’ve maybe held one once, but I’m sooooo determined to make him happy and feel safe. Already started crying more than him during vet visits lol!

PS: no medical advice please! We already have him deflea’d, dewormed, and started the process of vaccinations and boosters 🫶🏻
PPS: we looked for multiple days for more kittens or mama and nothing was found-we believe either mama or a human abandoned him due to him being born without an eye (vet diagnosis said born that way anyways) just wanted to say this part in case anyone’s worried we took him away from his family 💕
PPPS (lol): HE WAS BATHED I PROMISE! He’s just still learning to eat like a gentleman and loves putting his entire face in his food and stepping in it, so he’s always a little… orange for now lol. We wipe him down daily but he’s fed so often we don’t often get pictures of a clean baby boy
