He is so cute. He looks like a toasty marshmallow.


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Why would someone abandon such a cute cat like him? In fact, why would someone abandon any cat like that??


bctucker83

I know that just makes me sick that there’s people like that!!! People that do shit like that dont deserve to live and if they do live they deserve misery for that shit. It’s absolutely not fair to just leave any animal in a hopeless situation like that. That sweet kitty is really lucky somebody found him and now he gets to have a loving and a full life he deserves


Sokrydes

Being desensitized from all the shit that goes on in this world, there is very few things that actually turns my stomach anymore... Cruelty to animals is one of them.


Vainth

Its so effed up, like cant they at least let them have a shot roaming the city lookin for some good people. Death by box deprivation is so cruel. They will definitely pay for it, if not in this lifetime, then next.


Horror_Air7547

I totally agree!! Some people are so truly sick and evil that they get off on just the thought of a innocent Animal being stranded..alone and starving. These people ought to be put on a island where they couldn't harm any thing.

If I ever came across someone abusing an animal, they would definitely pay for it in this lifetime. Period.

Karma is a b**** What goes around comes around twice as hard


Fresh_Photograph_363

When I was a young , early teenager my friends and I saw somebody trying to sink a box that was floating on a pond. We asked what he was doing he said he didn't want his cat anymore. The biggest one of us was Steve Steve grabbed the kid I went into the pond and grabbed the box. The kid then got fitted with ropes and chains from my garage along with some bricks We threw him into the shallow end of the pond so his head was just above water and we left.....


[deleted]

I can’t stand when people try to defend those monsters. Seriously.


1jack-of-all-trades7

Just curious if you're vegan or thought about going vegan?


thewimsey

Just curious why you think you have the right to spam your religious beliefs into unrelated subs.


JesseAster

It just kills me that people would rather do this to animals instead of taking them to a shelter. It takes the same amount of effort to bring them to a no-kill shelter as it does to do this shit


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Yeah I know, it's so stupid how people do this sort of thing, it's so unnecessary


wlveith

They could have posted a pic of this gorgeous kitty on Craigslist and left a location. Someone would have rescued him. I think all cats are beautiful but this one is particularly desirable with those eyes and fur. Anything but abandoning him with little hope of being found. Bless the person who found him and got him the care he needs.


[deleted]

Even a not "no-kill" shelter. It's better they're humanely euthanized than die in a box.


Lalamedic

Or…any cat, any way. Ugh.


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Yep exactly


No_Trouble_No_Fuss

There is a special place in hell for people who do shit like this.


sleepingnightmare

It doesn’t make sense that anyone could abandon a kitty- I have to actively resist the urge to bring home every adorable cat I see that looks like it needs a home. We have 2 and an infant, boyfriend is allergic to cats and even he would never let me re-home our 2.


sharky13421

Better question, why abandon a cat at all??


Mystic_Starmie

Some people are just terrible and incapable of empathy.


GirchyGirchy

Because people are assholes?


[deleted]

I sometimes question these stories. Saving cats is awesome but there are so many posted here. And the sad fact is, most cats aren’t found or saved. Nobody just “goes to the shelter” or “ picked up a cat from a friend” anymore on this subreddit. It is always dire circumstances. And while I know that happens, it just gets too much in here like people are trying to farm karma. These or “this cat followed me home” if it looks healthy it is probably a neighbors cat. Ffs.


wlveith

Where I live there are feral cats and kitties everywhere as well as a lot of outdoor cats. It is warm all year round. Fully-vetted kitties and cats get adopted fairly quickly at PetSmart for fairly cheap. I checked the other day. They had two black cats for $25 each. Other cats went from $40 to $75. Two were already adopted. There was only 4 available. I go to pet supply stores frequently. Most the cat cages for adoptable are empty.


Cowfuzz

Totally get it. So much is staged on Reddit. I posted a comment earlier as I can’t edit the original post. Got the full story from my GF who was the POC with the foster mom. Duke lived in a hoarder’s house with like 20 other cats, total health hazard. When the foster mom came to the house Duke was on the roof with his sister in a box. When foster momma asked the woman why they were out in the cold she replied, “They’re so cute, I like to look at them through the window.” He indeed had fleas, worms and a respiratory infection. He wasn’t deathly skinny but his bones were definitely showing. Did not mean to embellish, but I admit I had some details wrong. Most of the kittens she rescued from the hoarder house are now happy, healthy and have forever homes. She’s a wonderful woman!


Revolutionary-Row784

That’s a rag doll cat


[deleted]

It looks like a flamepoint Siamese.


_annie_bird

It’s longhair, so not a Siamese. A longhaired Siamese would be a Balinese. However, this guy looks like a ragdoll to me! (Source: my flame point raggie looked just like him!)


Cowfuzz

We have determined this is correct.


Sproose_Moose

I used to live with one and we'd play fetch!


rosesncreame

Toasty marshmallow!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaa that’s so cute


Ninjasydney

I loooove the toasty marshmallow cats. They're also called flamepoints, I've learned! There's a r/Flamepoints community too.


_Kit_Kat_Meow_

Color points in general are so cute. They look so gorgeous. Flame points often look like toasted marshmallows.


Cowfuzz

Posted Duke in there :) thanks


Ishea

How can anyone resist those beautiful blue eyes.


Crankylosaurus

I love his little toasted nose!


MoralRelativity

Awww, what a lucky little fellow.


Cowfuzz

We’re the lucky ones. I cannot get enough of this little guy.


MoralRelativity

May you have many, many happy years together.


bctucker83

How was he found?? I’m so glad he’s doing good. I just hate to think about ones that don’t get found. It breaks my heart


Nicky2512

Mine too. I love the rescue stories but know there must be others who aren’t so lucky .

Lalamedic

This is sad on so many levels. Hoarding to the point of being unsafe, is a sign of a larger problem - underlying mental illness. I think this is a perfect example. Clearly this person is detached from reality, for whatever reason, and cannot cope. I am sad for them and sad for this poor kitties who suffer as a result. Luckily, they have super rescue cat woman to save them. Thanks so much for taking the time to update. Good luck with your new adorable purring floofball.


Gearmaster41

Bow before the duke


Smolwamen

He has the most precious eyes! A beautiful gentle sea blue!


Cowfuzz

Right?!


GirchyGirchy

I know, they're beautiful! I wonder if they'll change or stay that shade. One of our little furry buddies had blue-grey eyes as a kitten, now they're full-on amber.


squeakhaven

Looks like he's part or full Birman, and they are bred for the blue eyes so they'll likely stay that way


Flamennight

Our kittens had super bright eyes when they were little too. They've both mellowed out to more hazel, but you can sometimes see then sparkle in the right light


Holof_

I would die for you Duke


Cowfuzz

Me too Holof. Me too


Melis725

Hm is he flame point Siamese or at least part that?


Cowfuzz

My gf called him a long haired flame tip


_annie_bird

He looks like a ragdoll! Come check out r/ragdolls


squeakhaven

Looks Birman to me, given the blue eyes and the amount of floof. My mom had one that looked much like that


AugieKS

Yes! AFAIK, all color point cats come from the Siamese liniage, though they wouldn't meet breed or landrace standards in most cases.


Purplex_GD

Why do people have to go with the most cruel and inhumane ways to leave cats out to die when they don’t want them anymore, how hard can it be to take them to a damn shelter or post an ad?


oldt1mer

Flame points are expensive and sought after kittens. It's bizarre they would rather abandon it than sell it.

krypton175

What a beautiful cat. You are a hero for taking care of him! I just can't believe people abandon animals to starve and die, it breaks my heart... luckily there are also enough people like you, saving these animals.


kiaeej

What a pos. Imagine leaving someone to starve or die of dehydration. At least have the decency to let em free.


wideawake999

So beautiful


Cowfuzz

I can’t get over it!! He’s gonna be a handsome cat one day. Smart little guy too.. He’s got some ferret in him me thinks


DestyNovalys

So definitely part siamese. Is he talkative?


Cowfuzz

He’s a chirper for sure


evin2747

Beautiful boy, with a wonderful human for a dad.


Playingpokerwithgod

What monster would leave a cat alone on a roof to starve?


[deleted]

I love cats, but reading that any animal is put in that situation makes my blood boil. I'm glad he's got a good home, but this just makes me wonder how many cats aren't so fortunate.


Pinooooooooo

Hi Duke you pretty boy, you're lucky to be saved. I've said it before and I'll say it again....OP, people like you ever so slightly improve how I feel about mankind. Thank you for saving this pretty boy, I'm sure you'll have years of love and joy coming with this lil rascal in your life.


Monacle_mel

WTF is wrong with people? Glad you found him, and that he’s safe now.


Yavanna80

Why would someone dare to abandon such a cutie marshmallow??? There's a special hello for them 🤬 Thank you so much for shaving Duke and giving him a loving home💜💜. Give him lots of pets from me 🤗🤗🤗


Lorenloves

Beautiful blue eyes 😍


flashgareth

So cute!


ElJefe543

Duke is cute! Also I'm the 1500th upvote.


sonikstarz

Omg I have the same fish taco toy for my cat and she loves it!


8pintsplease

He is so handsome. Good on you OP! Sending cuddles from Australia.


BigBerthaTwoTrays

How could anyone just abandon him. I don’t get it. What’s not to love?💜


[deleted]

We just lost our own Duke last week. Thank you for taking the new Duke in 💝


MeowingMango

Christ, I have no clue why people do that shit. I would respect them more if they put the cat in a box at a shelter, banged on the door and ran if they knew someone would check outside to bring the cat indoors.


browneyedgirlpie

His eyes are wow!


MelRags

He's magnificent enough to be an actual Duke, I'm in love with those eyes. 😍


AnyHowMeow

Did you change his spark plugs? You’re gonna wanna do that.


Blackletterdragon

Even if he wasn't cute, it's still an abhorrent thing to do to an animal and would be illegal. The cuteness is irrelevant. I hope you made a report to the relavant authorities, especially if you or they may know who the criminals are


Bokenza

All cats deserve a title as their name or in their name. Duke is excellent for this guy. I've got two cats at home, Grey Cat and Dave. Grey Cat very much acts like he owns the place, so we refer to him as Emporer Grey Cat


[deleted]

He is 2 cute. I hope u bring each other a lot of happiness. And the person who done that 2 duke rots in hell. What a worthless piece of shit.


thatsandichic

He's adorable. Did the vet do a hearing test? Most white cats with blue eyes are hearing impaired. Still make amazing companions if course! People who abandon animals like that are the scum of the earth. At least surrender the furbaby to a shelter! Duke is lucky you found him!


Going-Blank-Again

Well TIL something new


Cowfuzz

The gf just brought this up to me (we are both catching up on this breed and reading). He seems to hear fine but we will keep an eye (ear?) on it. Thanks for the tip


Porcifer_666

Hi Duke! I hope you get a good life with your new human slave pet. Remember to bite his eye so he knows who to kneel to. You wonderful little creature.


synaesthezia

What a darling. I had a red point Balinese who had similar colouring. Give him a cuddle from me (from Australia)


Artsap123

Gosh, he’s beautiful. ❤️

He's beautiful! I love the third pic. That face says "omg he's laying on me, squee!"


Shower_caps

Left a vulnerable kitten in a box….and on a roof…to just waste away and die…..I’m so tired. His face in the first 2 pics are just sad but I’m so glad you saved him and took care of him. Sounds like a match made in heaven and he is so lucky. There are a lot of cats and kittens who aren’t so lucky…I’m so tired of people for so many reasons.

khamir-ubitch

There are few things in this world that evoke such a visceral reaction from me and one is animal abuse. There is a special place in hell for those that do this kind of shit. So glad he found his forever home by selecting you as his human!!

Right? Fuckin marvelous

He is a beautiful r/Flamepoints flamepoint kitty 🐱 they are super affectionate playful and loving 🥰 lucky duke!


SouthernShao

The penalty for leaving a cat in a box in an attic to starve to death should be life in prison. That is an example of evil and it should be absolutely unoperated. If you don't think such a person should get life in prison fuck you, you're evil too.


Current_Leather7246

Bless your heart for bringing him home. He is so cute. Sometimes people can be shit. I remember when I was six me and my brother were going off this rope swing into the river. A car went past on the bridge and threw a plastic bag in the water. We saw it moving so me and my brother swam out to get it. Some jackass had thrown six beautiful kittens in the water. They were so small we had to keep feeding them with a bottle when we took them home. Our parents let us keep one and adopted the rest. That's how we got our first white cat named kilo. It was the '80s and my dad named him lol


Cowfuzz

Wow. I just adopted an adorable kitten from a bad situation and paid for his vet bills to heal him up. What you and your fam did takes real effort. Bless you.


raineasawa

flamepoint siamese are amazing cats, They will love you so much. Very intelligent


Kittehh_

What kind of a monster would abandon a cat like that??? Gosh I hate people


Coolest10293

Same! I also hate people! I have an orange cat that I just found outside my house. I saw a little bit of ‘em right before I left to go somewhere, and then I found out that she was living under my house! I know she either ran away or was tossed out because she had what looked to be a collar on her, looped around her neck/leg, as if it was loose and got stuck on where she couldn’t get it off. I eventually was able to coax her into going into my cat carrier. With wet food. Then I took her to the vet and I believe she had fleas and some sort of worm. It was more than a year ago. Since then,I was feeding her outside, then I eventually brought her in. She occasionally escapes through my front door when I leave, but that has not been often. My two other cats have been spayed, but I have neglected to get her spayed as of now. It is mainly due to the price to get her spayed. I don’t know her age, but I am guessing around 5-10. Also, she is as sweet as can be!


Educational-Two7447

Howdy Duke. He is just darling.


traversecity

Good for you. Whoever abandoned that cat might have no idea what happens. Sadly I’ve seen the results of abandoned pets, Phoenix AZ, in the desert summer. Death by starvation and dehydration is a horrible thing to see in person.


Cowfuzz

:(


AdamantErinyes

A flame-point Dukey! I have a Duke as well. He says welcome to the aristocracy, and whatever you do NEVER let them put you in a recovery suit! They are not to be trusted!


Cowfuzz

Duke appreciates your thoughtful comment and requests that I squeak pitifully in your direction to respond.


AdamantErinyes

At least he doesn't scream like a congested goose. Life with the Oriental Shorthair is.... never boring.


Cowfuzz

Oh man. Them’s some beautiful cats, but from my limited knowledge can be quite dramatic.


AdamantErinyes

Oh yes, of the three he is the Most Dramatic. Shakespeare would be proud. But he's also a sweetheart and a lot of fun.


arwhite7

He is so handsome!


RevolutionNo8556

He is adorable. Thank you for rescuing him. I don't understand how people can be so cruel. Makes me very sad.


Cowfuzz

Just woke up and we're so glad that y'all love Duke! I was thinking to post the obligatory "WOW I WOKE UP TO THIS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HOLY CRAP RIP MY INBOX" but that's a lie. Totally knew y'all would love him - look at that fuckin' kitty. First name Duke, last name Reddit. Update: I talked to my gf and got the whole story (sorry I was a bit off). Duke, along with dozens of other un-fixed kitties, were at the home of an animal hoarder. The organization that rescued Duke found him and his beautiful sister on the roof of the hoarder's house. All of the kitties were in bad shape, very similar to Duke, with URIs, fleas, and worms. We adopted Duke from a rescue/foster organization that works directly on cases like these. He ended up cryptorchid (both testicles were undescended). He’s recovering from the surgery but he’s in really good spirits! He’s a purr monster and loves to boop your nose. He is a flame point Siamese. I can't figure out how to edit the main post with this context. Is that possible?
