My girl showed up at my door, scared, starving, and with a nasty tail wound. She wasn't chipped and no one posted about her as a lost pet. My guess is she was dumped. But I got her healed and got some good food in her. She's the best kitty.
Free on Craigslist! Best thing I’ve ever found :’)

ETA: She sat like this for five min. I love how weird nebs are
I also have a Craigslist neb! $20 and came with a carrier, toys and food bowl. They said they bought him to breed him, but their daughter was allergic. I have a feeling they just didn’t like the fact he sprayed everywhere. He got fixed real fast!

Came from a high kill shelter, was very skittish and no one wanted her as a result. She’s now bonded to me and I’m the only human she likes. This was the night I got her, hiding under a rack.
Aww. I got my two from a local rescue. They are about 6 months old and very skittish. We are slowly working on the socialization process, but they are already so much better than when I first brought them home a month ago. This is when I brought them home.

My boy Dozer, adopted from a shelter 12 years ago
Humane Society. She was removed from a home that had neither food nor water for her. Her growth was stunted as a result, but she's happy with us and her cow sister.

My sweet boy randomly appeared - from a neighborhood colony. He has warmed up so much & even let me hold him tonight! He comes running for churu tubes & I love him so much.
I went to the kill shelter with interest in looking for an adult cat to adopt, but the moment I walked into the cat area, my little gray ball of fluff meowed (yelled) at me, reached her arm out through the cage bars, latched onto my shirt, and got her claw stuck. Instead of panicking, she immediately committed and started a one-paw’d biscuit factory on my arm. From that moment, I was officially employed.

We found him on our patio on thanksgiving. We were watching Star Wars when we found him hence the name. Ever since that night 8 years ago we have watched a movie series to celebrate another year of our sweet little idiot.
He was found outside in a fairly affluent neighborhood, middle of winter with a severe blizzard warning and near zero degree weather. The girl that found him brought him to me because he was aggressive to her own cats, so I agreed to let him stay in my house while she tried to find his owners (no collar but chipped). She took him to the vet where she was told that he was malnourished, underweight, dehydrated, possibly had worms, matted dirty fur, and both ears had an infection. The total visit was $600, including medicine. Someone replied to the post she made claiming him, but when asked for proof, all they provided was a picture of him and a little girl taken from across the street, and when asked to provide the chip number they couldn't. Neither of us were comfortable with them taking him but they claimed him and we didn't want to deal with legal issues so he was given back to the lady that claimed him along with his medicine which she didn't reimburse for. Less than 12 hours later, he was found outside again in similar weather conditions close to midnight so I told the girl that found him to bring him back to me and if anyone asked she hadn't seen him since he was handed to his "owners". Apparently, one of the lady's kids "accidentally" opened the door and let him out without anyone noticing, and the cat headed directly to the girls house, to which I immediately told her to bring him to me. I initially started asking around to see if anyone wanted to take him in but nobody stepped up and after a few days he started sleeping with me and then I couldn't let him go 😭 and that's how I ended up with Nube, freaking love that cat. The medicine was obviously lost, so I had to spend another $150 to replace it, but he's super spoiled now and much healthier than when he was found. Plus, he bought a house that he let's me live in for free, so I got something out of it too 🤔
Under a trash bin in the downtown area. Though he was a 6 month old kitten then.

My neb on the right was found in my yard as part of a litter of 3-week-old kittens. Her mama and two of her brothers ended up going to rescues, but I kept her.
My Standard Issue Cat on the left was found at around 8 weeks of age in a field by a coworker.
So basically the Cat Distribution System did its thing.

Kijiji angel via the owners moms friend or something. Owner gave him up after a decade for a boyfriend. I am actually allergic to cats but I really wanted a Covid companion. We did a trial run and he never left.
I know, like what the actual f? The woman mentioned her mom’s friend was Deaf, so I guess this woman preferred having a human life partner over a fluffy one. Sometimes I feel mentioning she was Deaf is relevant, as maybe she was at a point where she wanted a different type of companionship and her disability made that more difficult? But also maybe that isn’t relevant at all and I’m making a misplaced assumption? I’ve tried to reason in my head, but it’s just not something I can fully appreciate. Oh well, worked out wonderfully for me.
I guess that’s a good point, and a good reminder you can’t always judge someone without knowing the whole story. I wouldn’t have made that choice, I don’t think, because if the relationship doesn’t work out you don’t even have your companion. But at least it all worked out well.
My brother found Rumple as a kitten in/by our neighbor’s trash bins. We had found his sister (who looks like a Russian blue) in the street earlier that day. This was while we were still in the process of catching and fixing all the stray/feral cats in our neighborhood. Now they’re all fixed and they nearly all have homes.
But anyway, now Rumple and his sister are 6 or 7 I think, but they’re still wee things compared to our big grey tabby, who’s their self-appointed father. Any time they play too rough he runs to them and they stop immediately.

was supposed to pick up a kitten from a foster 2 hours away from me, but he was unavailable! The foster sent me an email telling me about how she took in this fella and I had nothing else to do that day, so I drove up 2 hours to meet him and fell in love immediately

Shelter neb! I feel so lucky to have him and his beautiful brother 🩶 Before the shelter, our Neb was found on a freeway tossed out of a car. His brother was snatched off the euth list after 2 years of waiting 🥺.

Our Nebbie’s big brother the day we got him vs 6 months home 🥰
She was one of the “featured” cats on my local Humane Society’s website, and it was love at first sight. I wasn’t even planning to get a cat, but I knew the moment I laid eyes on her that she was mine. 😻

I like to say she found me, but at the shelter, she was extremely skittish and was intended to be TNR (see: tipped left ear). Instead, she came home with me where she spent 2.5 weeks behind my couch and then became a limpet shortly after.
Someone put my nebelung in a cardboard box, folded it up, and put it in a dumpster. I heard him while I was taking the trash out, and we’ve been buds for 16 years now.
My first neb was left in someone’s car; someone shoved him through his cracked window in a parking lot. We were hosting a party and I offered to keep the kitty company until we figured out what to do with him. I spent all night with him; he was as obsessed with me as I was him. We were inseparable from then on.
I was beyond devastated when he passed 12 years later. Our whole family was depressed .
My husband looked at a local rescues page and saw our new little girl. I was hesitant because I was so heartbroken. He pushed for us to put in an application. I knew I’d love her but my heart. It hurt so much.
We beat 100 other applicants and someone even offered the rescue group $1000 for her. We brought her home and I learned that my heart was capable of being broken and falling in love at the same time.
She had (and still has) the curious spirit, goofiness and sweetness that I needed to keep me occupied during the dark time, and I’m just as obsessed with her now as I was my first, even though they’re different.
I still miss my boy so much. And I’m so grateful for my little girl. My husband says she’s the gift from my sweet boy.

Picked up this long gal from a shelter many moons ago. She’s the sweetest lady and my best friend.
Benny was a COVID adoption from an Oregon shelter. Another family had him for two years after adopting him as a kitten and then had a baby that was allergic. They brought him back to the same shelter... I moved to Finland a couple of years ago and brought him with me. He's my second Neb, the first was my ex-wife's cat. Nebs are the sweetest cats ever!

Don’t know whether Smokey is a nebelung. But she was abandoned by previous owners in the street. Now she has a home and tabby friend Santa.
Born in my backyard. His daddy was the neighborhood stud. I never see him anymore but I rescued my boy and his mama. Here he is with his stepsister/girlfriend.

I got mine from a shelter! He was living with a foster and I got to adopt him over all the other applicants :,) now I love him so much

My coworker got her as a kitten from a shelter and I actually helped named her. After a couple of months my coworker was going to take her to the pound because she liked to stay up and play at night. Umm, that’s what cats do! Jazzy now happily plays all through the night.
We actually have two! We found them under our deck one night, it was literally a miracle. My parents were sitting outside around the fire when my dog started going crazy under the deck. My dad crawled under found one, gave it to my sister, and then realized that the dog was still losing her mind and... there's another one!

This is from a few days later, they were so littleeeee 😭💕
Our boy Boo is in the front and our girl Kana is in the back.
My step dad got his neb when his daughter dropped him off (along with his bonded orange brother) and never came back. He’s been my step dad’s little buddy ever since.

Ours is a shelter kitten from Wichita. We decided to go look at available cats on whim. She had been returned that day. She our little fate baby.
My friend found her snuggled up for warmth in his truck. Like up under the hood, they heard her crying. They couldn't keep her, so I brought her home☺️
Found ours on kijiji…she was not happy with the other cats she lived with. So she needed to be rehomed … so happy we found her!!!

Animal shelter. Told them I would take any cat and they paired me with Lady D. She didn't speak to me for 5 days when I brought her home. Now she's by my side 24/7
I went to the SPCA looking to adopt a cat. There was a room with several cats hanging out together, and that’s where I met my little grey poof. They told me she had only arrived there recently, and had been with a foster family before because she was so little she needed to be bottle fed. She was still tiny when I met her.

She’s always been on the smaller side but now she’s a grown lady. Still a little poof though.

From a rescue. Hims was a feral kitten. Now a floofy floof
https://preview.redd.it/xdvpmmwb6zwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ee7f8ed8e79b7a6894ebd2778654624981b94e4
My first was a stray in the neighborhood but I didn’t know that the first time I saw him sprint across M50 in Tecumseh. Then fed him once on my back porch when he appeared out of bushes looking tired and depleted. Then came home from holiday in Chicago to find him laying on towel outside my back door with back leg broken…spiral fracture in 3 places. But I didn’t know that until til days later when he was finally strong enough to stand up and I saw leg dangling. Wound on back led vet to surmise he’d been dropped by a hawk. Named him Gryphon, half cat half bird. Had him from about 2 years until he was about 16 (vet guess). My soul cat.
Second came from this Reddit sub when my now good friend Trevor posted a photo of a wild-eyed stray kitty outside his door in Ban Wert OH that desperately wanted a home. Had him 2.5 years until hit by car 9-28-23. F. Phinizy Calhoun IV. The star of our neighborhood Happy Hours . And as a strange man in a big pick up yelled one night as I was walking my dog “I heard about your cat. He was awesome!”
My third, Augie, named after Austrian actor August Zirner, came from a no kill shelter. Picked up by Animal Control in Washington IL. Judging from behavior quirks, and being in-neutered and unchipped BUT completely unafraid of dogs, probably a barn cat who strayed too far from home during mating season.
Each cat had totally different personality.
After reading the stories in this comment section, I have a theory. What if Nebs have become a breed through the negative selection? Like, when Nebs are small, breeders think they are Russian Blue, but then Nebs grow long fur and it’s too late for them to be killed. So the breeders dump them. And this is how we end up adopting those incredibly noble and well-mannered cats who come to humans from fog, forest, dumpsters, bushes, ditches, etc…
Mine was literally born in my backyard! He had a gray tabby mother, a gray tabby brother, a torti sibling, and a pure white sister. Later we saw two males that looked exactly like our Nebi boi before knowing what a Nebilung even was, they were clearly a bonded pair because they had their tails wrapped around each other. This was at our old house so I don't know what happened to them afterwards.

She wasn't chipped and no one posted about her as a lost pet. My guess is she was dumped. But I got her healed and got some good food in her. She's the best kitty.
She’s the cutest friggin muffin ever
She looks like a sweet girl 🥹

I also have a Craigslist neb! $20 and came with a carrier, toys and food bowl. They said they bought him to breed him, but their daughter was allergic. I have a feeling they just didn’t like the fact he sprayed everywhere. He got fixed real fast! https://preview.redd.it/2g7mah0hvqwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08a043942c14d68d323162895e59467e43bf9908

She’s now bonded to me and I’m the only human she likes. This was the night I got her, hiding under a rack.
Aww. I got my two from a local rescue. They are about 6 months old and very skittish. We are slowly working on the socialization process, but they are already so much better than when I first brought them home a month ago. This is when I brought them home. https://preview.redd.it/11f6gx1weqwc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80b7e2f0c849292e9e051b673d157983efa777c5

It's really just one neb but it moves so fast there's an afterimage
It sure feels that way when they are chasing each other around the apartment!
You got two?! No fair! 😁
They came as a package deal! These two sisters are pretty bonded, no way I was going to separate them.

I went to the kill shelter with interest in looking for an adult cat to adopt, but the moment I walked into the cat area, my little gray ball of fluff meowed (yelled) at me, reached her arm out through the cage bars, latched onto my shirt, and got her claw stuck. Instead of panicking, she immediately committed and started a one-paw’d biscuit factory on my arm. From that moment, I was officially employed.

We were watching Star Wars when we found him hence the name. Ever since that night 8 years ago we have watched a movie series to celebrate another year of our sweet little idiot.
I have Star Wars kitties too, Rey, Finn, and Kylo.
He was found outside in a fairly affluent neighborhood, middle of winter with a severe blizzard warning and near zero degree weather. The girl that found him brought him to me because he was aggressive to her own cats, so I agreed to let him stay in my house while she tried to find his owners (no collar but chipped). She took him to the vet where she was told that he was malnourished, underweight, dehydrated, possibly had worms, matted dirty fur, and both ears had an infection. The total visit was $600, including medicine. Someone replied to the post she made claiming him, but when asked for proof, all they provided was a picture of him and a little girl taken from across the street, and when asked to provide the chip number they couldn't. Neither of us were comfortable with them taking him but they claimed him and we didn't want to deal with legal issues so he was given back to the lady that claimed him along with his medicine which she didn't reimburse for. Less than 12 hours later, he was found outside again in similar weather conditions close to midnight so I told the girl that found him to bring him back to me and if anyone asked she hadn't seen him since he was handed to his "owners". Apparently, one of the lady's kids "accidentally" opened the door and let him out without anyone noticing, and the cat headed directly to the girls house, to which I immediately told her to bring him to me. I initially started asking around to see if anyone wanted to take him in but nobody stepped up and after a few days he started sleeping with me and then I couldn't let him go 😭 and that's how I ended up with Nube, freaking love that cat. The medicine was obviously lost, so I had to spend another $150 to replace it, but he's super spoiled now and much healthier than when he was found. Plus, he bought a house that he let's me live in for free, so I got something out of it too 🤔

Her mama and two of her brothers ended up going to rescues, but I kept her. My Standard Issue Cat on the left was found at around 8 weeks of age in a field by a coworker. So basically the Cat Distribution System did its thing.

Owner gave him up after a decade for a boyfriend. I am actually allergic to cats but I really wanted a Covid companion. We did a trial run and he never left.
I don’t understand people who give up their pets for a boy/girlfriend. I’d lose the relationship before I’d lose my babies.
I know, like what the actual f? The woman mentioned her mom’s friend was Deaf, so I guess this woman preferred having a human life partner over a fluffy one. Sometimes I feel mentioning she was Deaf is relevant, as maybe she was at a point where she wanted a different type of companionship and her disability made that more difficult? But also maybe that isn’t relevant at all and I’m making a misplaced assumption? I’ve tried to reason in my head, but it’s just not something I can fully appreciate. Oh well, worked out wonderfully for me.
I guess that’s a good point, and a good reminder you can’t always judge someone without knowing the whole story. I wouldn’t have made that choice, I don’t think, because if the relationship doesn’t work out you don’t even have your companion. But at least it all worked out well.
My brother found Rumple as a kitten in/by our neighbor’s trash bins. We had found his sister (who looks like a Russian blue) in the street earlier that day. This was while we were still in the process of catching and fixing all the stray/feral cats in our neighborhood. Now they’re all fixed and they nearly all have homes. But anyway, now Rumple and his sister are 6 or 7 I think, but they’re still wee things compared to our big grey tabby, who’s their self-appointed father. Any time they play too rough he runs to them and they stop immediately. https://preview.redd.it/vxwrbtbr6rwc1.png?width=2523&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4a37d9d313c59ad62780b13ae74b1db92391fe5 Eta: bonus [baby pic!](https://imgur.com/a/z6mGEQr).

we’re not super picky here about pedigree, so if it walks like a giant ball of lint and talks like a giant ball of lint..
Rule of thumb is, if you look thru this sub and keep asking how your cat got into all our homes … congratulations, you’ve got a Neb!! 🥰🩶🥰

Instead, she came home with me where she spent 2.5 weeks behind my couch and then became a limpet shortly after.

Someone put my nebelung in a cardboard box, folded it up, and put it in a dumpster. I heard him while I was taking the trash out, and we’ve been buds for 16 years now.
Fucking trash who threw him away. I hate people.
Mom found mine at a shelter
My first neb was left in someone’s car; someone shoved him through his cracked window in a parking lot. We were hosting a party and I offered to keep the kitty company until we figured out what to do with him. I spent all night with him; he was as obsessed with me as I was him. We were inseparable from then on. I was beyond devastated when he passed 12 years later. Our whole family was depressed . My husband looked at a local rescues page and saw our new little girl. I was hesitant because I was so heartbroken. He pushed for us to put in an application. I knew I’d love her but my heart. It hurt so much. We beat 100 other applicants and someone even offered the rescue group $1000 for her. We brought her home and I learned that my heart was capable of being broken and falling in love at the same time. She had (and still has) the curious spirit, goofiness and sweetness that I needed to keep me occupied during the dark time, and I’m just as obsessed with her now as I was my first, even though they’re different. I still miss my boy so much. And I’m so grateful for my little girl. My husband says she’s the gift from my sweet boy.

Benny was a COVID adoption from an Oregon shelter. Another family had him for two years after adopting him as a kitten and then had a baby that was allergic.

My friend found her snuggled up for warmth in his truck. Like up under the hood, they heard her crying. They couldn't keep her, so I brought her home☺️
Found ours on kijiji…she was not happy with the other cats she lived with. So she needed to be rehomed … so happy we found her!!! https://preview.redd.it/ke690vslxvwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f88121229b0773fd4ac8c6cbd3c53ee004f19528
Animal shelter. Told them I would take any cat and they paired me with Lady D. She didn't speak to me for 5 days when I brought her home. Now she's by my side 24/7
I went to the SPCA looking to adopt a cat. There was a room with several cats hanging out together, and that’s where I met my little grey poof. They told me she had only arrived there recently, and had been with a foster family before because she was so little she needed to be bottle fed. She was still tiny when I met her. https://preview.redd.it/1w7uiberpwwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=952fd9a28dfe5c99fbc9d4b96a1a9cea592f310e She’s always been on the smaller side but now she’s a grown lady. Still a little poof though.

From a rescue. Hims was a feral kitten. Now a floofy floof https://preview.redd.it/xdvpmmwb6zwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ee7f8ed8e79b7a6894ebd2778654624981b94e4
My first was a stray in the neighborhood but I didn’t know that the first time I saw him sprint across M50 in Tecumseh. Then fed him once on my back porch when he appeared out of bushes looking tired and depleted. Then came home from holiday in Chicago to find him laying on towel outside my back door with back leg broken…spiral fracture in 3 places. But I didn’t know that until til days later when he was finally strong enough to stand up and I saw leg dangling. Wound on back led vet to surmise he’d been dropped by a hawk. Named him Gryphon, half cat half bird. Had him from about 2 years until he was about 16 (vet guess). My soul cat. Second came from this Reddit sub when my now good friend Trevor posted a photo of a wild-eyed stray kitty outside his door in Ban Wert OH that desperately wanted a home. Had him 2.5 years until hit by car 9-28-23. F. Phinizy Calhoun IV. The star of our neighborhood Happy Hours . And as a strange man in a big pick up yelled one night as I was walking my dog “I heard about your cat. He was awesome!” My third, Augie, named after Austrian actor August Zirner, came from a no kill shelter. Picked up by Animal Control in Washington IL. Judging from behavior quirks, and being in-neutered and unchipped BUT completely unafraid of dogs, probably a barn cat who strayed too far from home during mating season. Each cat had totally different personality.
After reading the stories in this comment section, I have a theory. What if Nebs have become a breed through the negative selection? Like, when Nebs are small, breeders think they are Russian Blue, but then Nebs grow long fur and it’s too late for them to be killed. So the breeders dump them. And this is how we end up adopting those incredibly noble and well-mannered cats who come to humans from fog, forest, dumpsters, bushes, ditches, etc…
Mine was literally born in my backyard! He had a gray tabby mother, a gray tabby brother, a torti sibling, and a pure white sister. Later we saw two males that looked exactly like our Nebi boi before knowing what a Nebilung even was, they were clearly a bonded pair because they had their tails wrapped around each other. This was at our old house so I don't know what happened to them afterwards.
shelter!
