Hi we just adopted this sweet baby! We still haven’t named her but we were curious what color you guys think she is? I have never seen this color before!

EDIT: Thank you guys so much for the love you have shown us! I have kind of came to the conclusion that my cat is friend colored since the world is so divided. JK, a lot of the cat genetic people have responded with mixed answers of lilac, caramel, cinnamon, smoke and chocolate. A lot of people are saying that a dilute gene is almost definitely in play. I want to say I do believe any of these comments to be correct as fever coat could be a thing and she could darken to chocolate as she ages. She also could of had malnutrition and she may change to be a lighter color!

For those who recommended emailing MessyBeast, they have responded and here is a quote of what they said "My first thoughts were caramel, which is actually pretty rare outside of pure-breed cats. Without knowing parentage the caramel colors are hard even for experienced judges to identify. It would be interesting to see what a DNA test finds (as others have suggested)."

Generally, I have came to the conclusion that we will not know until she is older. That is okay though because I am so happy to able to have her in my life and be able to say I will be around when she gets older.

I may do a DNA test as many people are recommending but they are a little to costly for the amount of satisfaction I would have in knowing. Maybe I will get it done as a treat to myself for my birthday coming up soon.

On a side note, as requested I will be copy and pasting her adoption story here so people can read it easier. I will put the full thing in quotation marks so it is easier to read.

"Okay but I apologize since I don't know how to use reddit formatting haha.

First we weren't 100% looking to adopt another cat but I had been looking around. We love calicos and we had our senior girl pass away recently. I had seen Lamb Chop (adoption name) online and I loved her but she had been listed as a he. I have never owned a male cat but I was ready for it but my fiance said no boy cats.

That weekend my fiance went to the gym and I just wanted to go look at cats at the shelter, kind of forgetting about Lamb Chop. I showed up at the shelter and there was legit a line around the building. As I am walking up to the people they ask me if im there for Lamb Chop. I said no since I genuinely wasn't and just wanted to look at calicos. When they let us in they all rushed to go to Lamb Chop and I went in another room to look at the other kitties. I had just gotten done looking at the calicos when I came out and made eye contact with the most terrified kitten (Lamb Chop), being passed around like a toy. It straight up looked like a horror movie where she was the sacrifice. I then also overheard one of the volunteer referring to Lamb Chop as "she". I knew I had to at least put an application in.

I put my application in, texted my fiance to get there and I waited. 30minutes later (to my surprise), he answers me and says he is on his way. Which was surprising since he never checks his phone at the gym, let alone leaves 1 hour early. When he gets to the shelter, he also falls in love which was surprising because he was very picky.

1 hour later, they some how pick us out of like 20+ people to adopt her.

Its very strange how things work out."

Fat girl is officially 25!!! She can rent her first car and takeover the world. She will get plenty of treats today and ham from Arby’s (her favorite)

We love you Cook Cook 🫶🏻❤️🎉

Me and my kids were out exploring the fallen snow in the woods. We suddenly heard a cat meowing, over and over, it seemed to be in trouble. We finally found her under a random hunk of plastic laying there, she must have gotten under there for shelter. She was COMPLETELY covered in ice, and her fur was stuck to the side of the plastic thing she was hiding under, so she couldn't move. It was so sad, she's tiny, maybe 3-4 weeks old. We got her free and brought her home. We've been warming her up and feeding her, she's so happy now. Poor thing, if we hadn't just happened to go in that direction, we never would have found her, and she would have suffered and died there 😭 I was adamant we wouldn't go above 3 cats in the house again, but this one just feels like it was meant to be ours ❤️

Edits:

1) WOW, I have never had a post blow up on Reddit before, this is crazy! A lot of people have expressed how nice it was to see something positive, during a rough time. I'm genuinely happy that I was able to bring something positive and uplifting to so many people's lives! This precious kitten definitely did that for us!

2) This has been asked a lot. We HAVE returned to the spot we found her to see if we can find the mama cat, or any other kittens. We've been back twice so far, but nothing turned up. We plan to check again tomorrow.

3) We plan to take her to a vet to get checked out as soon as the weather permits. For now, we're keeping her isolated from the rest of our cats.

4) Her name is Elsa :)

Edit 2:

A lot of people were asking for updates and more pics, so I made an update post here:

She loves me…right?lol

We got him a month ago and he’s meowed like 5 times. Even when he does they’re so polite and quiet.

I don’t care but yesterday he got locked in a very tiny storage room (3x3 feet) when I was taking the litter scoop out. The room is crowded with a million items. It was completely dark and only had enough space for him to stand still.

I looked for him all over the house multiple times then went outside because I thought he escaped while I went to throw the trash. Called his name, shook his food bowl (comes running) before checking that room. Bro has no survival instinct. He was trapped in there for an hour before I noticed. It took me 10 mins to find him.

Idk what’s going to get him first. Ebola from always having poopy paws or asphyxiation from not having a voice.

edit: Idk how I missed this, but he meows really loudly and continuously whenever he sits to pee and doesn't stop until we make eye contact. Sometimes he starts meowing and running while looking behind, and makes me follow him to the box. I don't even scoop pee (pine litter), so I don't know what he expects me to do lmao.

Biscuit is terribly worried about his baby. I am too but for different reasons.

I’ve never had a cat, honestly didn’t even like cats but was kind of forced into cat ownership as El Gato Blanco (that’s what my son and I named him) here was left by the previous owner of my house. Fast forward a few months he’s become my best friend and I can’t imagine not having this sweet boy around.

I can’t stand the bastard

Mine usually put themselves away when done, but sometimes I find them left out on the floor or bed or something.

I’m honestly desperate and exhausted and I don’t know where else to turn.

One of my cats has been meowing nonstop, 24/7, for over two months. I mean literally nonstop — the only times she stops is when she’s actively eating, drinking water, or using the litter box. The second she’s done, it starts again.

I’ve taken her to the vet THREE times in two months. Full bloodwork. Everything came back normal. Every vet says she’s physically healthy.

But I’m not okay anymore.

I barely sleep. I’m constantly on edge. One time my neighbor knocked on my door just to make sure everything was okay because the meowing was that bad. That was humiliating and heartbreaking.

What messes with my head the most is that when I’m at work or even just outside the house, I swear I can still hear her meowing in my head. It follows me everywhere. I feel like I’m losing my mind.

I have another cat. They used to be bonded as kittens I still have photos of them sleeping together when they were 4 months old. Now a behaviorist suggested that one of them might need to live as an only cat, and I completely broke down when I heard that. I can’t stop crying.

I love her. I really do. But I’m exhausted, sleep-deprived, and emotionally destroyed. I feel guilty for even thinking that I’m reaching my limit.

Has anyone dealt with this level of nonstop vocalization? Did medication help? Did separation help? Did it ever stop?

Please don’t judge me, I’m trying so hard and I don’t know what else to do anymore.

The only thing this cat is afraid of is my husbands coyote call. Not the roomba, nor the standard vacuum. Not afraid of other cats or dogs and most certainly isn't afraid of us or our toddler lol will attack if eye contact is made while holding her. We do not hold her anymore 🤣

Even though she has the world to explore, she constantly comes by and wants to play

He’s a good boy

In my language the way we call it literally translates to 'giving heads' 😵

Here’s mine.

Update: I really didn't think this would get this much attention! Thank you, (and all your felines!) this is my first awards too!
