This is Kelly. He’s a 13 week old kitten from a local feral colony. I saw him get hit by a truck towing a boat. When he got up from that and ran the rest of the way across the street I helped the woman who was chasing him to catch him. She’s allergic to cats and I’m not. So I’m now responsible for him. He has a broken jaw but is otherwise ok. #catsofmastodon #caturday #caturdayeveryday
I’ll be picking up Kelly later today. He apparently loves belly rubs. #cats #catsofmastodon
Kelly is on my lap and is meowing up a storm. #cats #catsofmastodon
He’s currently hiding under the daybed. Given his last 36 hours, I don’t blame him.
Kelly has had his first dinner at home. And his meds. #cats #catsofmastodon
Dinner and pain meds makes for a happy boy.
Last update on Kelly for today. He’s sleeping next to my youngest. #catsofmastodon #cats #caturdayeveryday #rescuecat

A week ago I rescued this guy. #catsofmastodon #blackcats #housepanther
@pussreboots Ahh what a little guy! They are so cute at that age. Assuming he has just had an operation, was it neutering?
@cybervegan he’s been neutered but the cone was for jaw surgery. I watched him get hit by a truck. All that happened in May. He’s now six months old and perfectly healthy.
@pussreboots He looks like he's a lot of fun! At that age they love to play, don't they. Has his jaw healed OK?
@cybervegan his jaw is completely healed.
@pussreboots Poor baby. What's he need the med for?
@AnneLouiseBannon he was hit by a truck and broke his jaw. I saw it happen. He was part of a feral colony but now he’s mine.
He and my youngest had a good night’s sleep. He fed himself in the middle of the night and has a small breakfast and his meds. It’s now belly rubs and biscuits time. #cats #catsofmastodon #rescuecat
@pussreboots poor boy! He’s lucky to be alive, and that you and another kind person was there to help him.
@pussreboots I hope he likes cohabitating with chickens. Or pictures of them.
@mvilain no actual chickens. Just two tuxedos and an English lab.
@pussreboots Awww, sounds like he picked the right human to be chased by 😻
@pussreboots awww I'm glad y'all caught him!! Poor little guy
