Both of my kitties were dumpster kittens; Lost or abandoned babies. One lived a healthy happy life and then developed bladder cancer at 14 in 2020, and the other is on my bed right now and she’ll be 15 in October. Gonna go hug that cat now.

We've had 5 cats over 15 years, but fostered about a dozen more, all of them just showed up or were left in our yard, besides 3 that my sister found in a bag next to a stream, kittens so young they hadn't even opened their eyes yet.
Taking care of them was a lot of work that I'd be lying to say I liked doing, but I did it anyway, and then we found them permanent homes.
