Yeah, it’s a cat. He’s cute and partially blind and very dependent on his brother, from whom he’s been separated, by thieves. Keep your eyes peeled.

“He is a partially-blind kitten, who depends on his brother for many of life’s necessities.”
I wonder what that means.
It sucks that people steal animals. A friend of mine had a puppy stolen a few years back.
that is really, really low
Anyone who has ever attempted to pass through the phalanx of peta types who oversee adoption at the SF SPCA Hilton, would frankly understand how if someone connected with an animal up for said adoption — then had to face the adoption by fascist filtering of a process — they would on some level understand the impulse to just fucking take the future friend and run. That said, the margin between an impulse and actually doing something is the thin furry line between civilization and bedlam, so they do need to catch the thief. (I bet he’s wearing diamonds and a witch’s hat)
Facist filtering?
I adopted a kitten three days ago. I filled out an adoption application, picked my kitten, talked to an adoption counselor about medical history, feeding, introduction to my current cats, dangers of outdoor cats – paid my adoption fee and off I went with my spayed, vaccinated, vet checked kitten.
if that is facism, viva la revolution.
Yeah, it’s pretty insane the way they want to run some cursory check to make sure you will not kill/torture/eat/abuse/neglect/have sex with the absolutely helpless creature they are about to hand you. WTF.
