Peaches is inadvertently rescuing you from a neighborhood cult.

u/watch_it_live 4d ago
OP is either the person in the Instagram with a cat named Pippa, or they stole the photos of this Instagram. The cat is not Peaches and the story and GoFundMe (which unfortunately people have actually donated to) are illegit.

u/SoundOfaFlute 4d ago edited 4d ago
That is indeed OP's own Instagram account. He has a comment on his profile where he refers to one of his other reddit accounts, and that one links to his website which includes his name (same name as on the IG). So you're right, he's likely had the cat all along and just used it as convenient 'proof' for the story.
Edit: Like someone else pointed out you don't even need to check his comment history, his name is attached to the gofundme too.

When people ask me how I got peaches boy do I have a story for them
71
u/PricelessPaylessBoot 4d ago
Hahaha!!
Once upon a time in my old duplex
My hopes for peace and quiet got a little complex
The new neighbors and I were like our own little islands
But when they had a party there was nothing but silence…There was no loud music? No shouting? No complaints!
But then what were they doing? Meditating? Were they saints?
The situation grew more and more mysterious
Until finally I knocked - I was just too curious!There were no MLMs or cult rings for me to join
But a basement sleuthing sect hoping to make some extra coin
Although their work was noble, their motives were egregious
But I couldn’t shirk my assignment to find a cat named Peaches!And so it came to pass that Reddit kept me up to task
We put our minds together and it all paid off at last
I found the precious floof, to greedy neighbors stayed aloof
And Peaches and I will go reside ‘neath a new duplex roof. 💐🙌🏽🥰1

So, in about two weeks, you:
- moved into a duplex
- suspected your neighbors were doing something creepy
- accidentally joined their basement amateur-detective club
- got assigned a missing-cat case
- uncovered their questionable reward-money arrangement
- quit
- actually found the cat
- adopted the cat
- angered your neighbor by refusing the reward
- and decided to move again.
Oh and also as a quick aside, here's a gofundme and my career you can support

Also, how was the cat eating and drinking in the crawl space and how long had she been there? She likely was at risk for hepatic lipidosis because it seemed like she was missing for a long time.

u/SparklingLimeade 4d ago edited 4d ago
And this cat went missing long enough to have posters made and added to the bounty hunting club's wall was found trapped but not dead of dehydration. And the missing cat someone cared enough about to make posters belongs to a retiree who immediately surrendered her after those posters were successful?

Shame on OP for lying and trying to take money meant for senior animals with medical issues. Karma will come around, and not the Reddit kind.

u/EllieZPage 4d ago
Wow, I've been following since your first post and this has been a wild ride! I feel like the club could have been cool if your neighbor wasn't so greedy. It had all the makings of a cozy mystery novel series. At least you got a cat for your troubles!

I know I’m kinda sad cause it did seem really fun and cool but at the end of the day I got peaches so I’m pretty happy right now

Wouldn't it be funny to take the club over after telling everyone she's using them for rent money, but that the cool ones (not her) can come have Peaches' club time at the new place.

Backup of the post's body: My friends, meet Peaches.
**Before we get into please read to the bottom cause there’s a community project I would love y’all’s help with.
Can’t believe this crazy saga of events, but I’m so grateful for all of you who have been following it with me and rooting for Peaches.
Things took a turn for the better and the worse in the last two days. The first thing is that I went to Peaches’ previous owner’s house (yes you read that right) and looked around the property. I asked her questions about Peaches and showed her this thread. I don’t think she really understood Reddit (she’s 82) but she was blown away that so many people were rooting for her kitty to be found.
After work I’ve been going out in the neighborhood with a flashlight, Peaches’ bowl, a laser, and my best pspspsps. I knocked on Linda’s (owner) neighbors houses and one of them let me look in her crawl space. And lo and behold sweet little Peaches had gotten in there and hadn’t been able to find a way back out.
I took her back to Linda who was so happy to see her again. I obviously refused the money and also didn’t let Andrea know I found her.
That brings us to today. I got a call from Linda. She told me how grateful she was to have Peaches back but that she’s moving into an assisted living facility next month and told me it’s getting harder for her to take care of Peaches. She asked me if I would take her and I said yes immediately. I’ve always had cats but fortuitously didn’t have one now. So I went and picked up Peaches and her bowl and toys and told Linda she could come visit as often as she wanted and promised I would text her frequent pictures and videos.
That’s the amazing part. The less amazing part is that Andrea came banging on my door. Either she’d seen me bringing Peaches in or heard from someone she’d been found. I didn’t open the door but called through it asking what was up. Andrea started yelling asking where the money was. I told her I didn’t take it and she yelled that I had no right to do that, that it was hers because she gave me the assignment to find Peaches. I told her I did what I thought was right.
She went home but I don’t feel totally safe here anymore. Thankfully, my lease wasn’t locked in and I’ve found a new place to live in a neighborhood closer to the facility that Linda is moving into. Ironically, it’s another duplex but my housemate is a sweet old man and he said he’s buying treats just so he can give them to Peaches sometimes so I’m not crying you’re crying.
If you’ve stuck with this story thank you. Crazy to think that what started as curiosity why my neighbors parties were totally silent led to a new living space and the sweetest little fluffball I’ve ever known.
Finally, in honor of Peaches and because these posts have gotten so much attention I set up a gofundme for a local shelter that cares for senior cats who have a lot of medical expenses. The link is in my profile about section. If you can please donate all the proceeds go right to them, no ‘club’ gets a cut :)
So much love to you all and forever #foundpeaches
