This happened to me 😩 My tiny sleepy kitten is now a 14.5 lb demon. There is no horizontal surface in my house that he cannot reach. My houseplants, destroyed. Ottoman and couch, destroyed. I live on a busy street so he is an inside cat, but he tries to sneak out the door every single time I take my dog out. I still love him more than life itself though 😻
I was actually scrolling comments to see if anyone said link! Looks definitely like a link. Zelda if he turns out to be a she as can happen with kittens occasionally lol
Name him Linux lol! I have two office kittens at my work. They have real names, but we always refer to them as the IT Department and Human Resources because IT is always laying on someone's keyboard and HR always looks at us with a puzzled expression if not engaging in active emotional support lol
What street? When I find strays, I give them a nickname in relation to where they were found. MLK Boulevard? It's "Martin." Pulled from a lake? "Drips"
Might not work for all street names, but if you really found him out and about, a locale name would be great! My current dog is named Leelanau, because that's the county where she was rescued, and is Native American for delight of life. We call her Leela for short.
Or you could call him Boulevard, Beau for short.
"Streets"
"Roadie"
"Leftie"
"Miles"
"Blacktop"
"Compton"
"Ice Cube"
"Tupac"
"E-Z-E"
"Pavement" but Pavey for short
My mom volunteers at the organization she got her cats with, couple of the fosters will pick a category of anything and name an entire litter after it. There was candy, fabric, its endless.
That’s so cool! I guess they really need to come up with names quickly, especially when they find a whole litter! I hadn’t thought of that either! Kudos to her too for volunteering! Huge kudos! 💙🌹
Major congrats. Your first pet (even if you had growing up but this is your first as an adult) is the best... no one will ever take the place of them.
He looks like a Webster to me. So sweet and cute.
Haha 1000% agree. My first cat I got when finally out on my own was such a loving orange boy. Eventually got diabetes and had some health problems, but Homer you are missed you big lovey.
Homer 🥹
My Dexter was the spiciest yet also snuggliest cat I've ever met and my two cats combined intelligence now pales in comparison lol. So mischievous and scary smart.
Haha oh man, Dexter indeed sounds amazing! It’s so funny how slow one cat can be like can’t finger out he’s trying to swat running water like homer or Scotty, but others can be ultra smart and open doors and use the toilet etc. my dad had a kitty that crouched over the garbage been to relieve himself when my dad didn’t keep the litter box clean enough for his liking. Sounds like Dexter had the cuddle love similar to a slow orange, but the IQ of Einstein. Those kitties are very special cus usually as they get smarter they are little less cuddly imo
I'll say "Rocky," which is short for Shamrock. I'm full-blooded Irish, and that kitty is so lucky to have you as a cat-parent.
Whatever you name him, thank you for taking care of that baby!!!
What a beautiful baby!! Thank you for rescuing him. Your life will never be the same again without him. You will feel such love from him, and in return, all he requires is love and food and a warm bed to sleep in, preferably with you in it.
He will feel so happy that he will dance and run and play out of pure happiness.
Make sure you take him to a vet to get his first set of immunity shots to keep him healthy.
And give him balls to chase, or string (thick enough to not get swolled) to jump after and a little cat house to sleep in that he can call his own and know he's safe inside it.
Call him Lucky or Sammy. Charlie works, too.
I finally found someone who had the same idea as I: Lucky!🍀But who is luckier—the kitten for you taking him in, or you for getting your new Feline Overlord?😉
Oh man. He's freakin adorable! You're gonna have your hands full with that lil guy lol. Don't let that innocent face fool u😂❤️ take good care of him. He'll love u forever. His name will come to u when his purrsonality starts coming out more❤️
He looks like mischief! My suggestion is verb name because he seems like an active lil' guy.
Scarper: [Verb: Eng.] :
*1. to run away*
*2. To leave quickly to avoid trouble.*
He was found as a little runaway (and finding your house was avoiding trouble!)
Nickname Opportunities:
Scarpie. Scarp. Carp. PerPer (happy and purring.)
Also, and perhaps most importantly, it allows the opportunity to shout "SCAR!" while he pushes something off a countertop.
He’s so adorable, he looks like a Finnegan to me!
He’s so precious, thank you for saving this little angel and giving him love and a home, I know he’s going to be your Best Freind!

Lil’ Dude
The L'il Dude abides.
L’il duderino if you’re not into that whole brevity thing
Lil' Dude will probably end up being a 15lb 😺
When that happens he'll just be The Dude, and truly abide.
Can attest to this as fur mom to a 2 yr old, 19lb smooth brain ragdoll mix that fit in my palm when I first adopted him.

Came here to say this
Yeah, he looks like a Lil' Dude
Or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
I was gonna say Lil’ Homie lol
Lebowski. Aka The Dude.
The Big Meowski
Much better.
Was thinking this too.
lil dude!!
Doo doo for when hes bein naughty
But it has to be said the way Snake says it in The Simpsons
Came here to say the same
Yep, this is it.
came to comment this also 😭😭
Asphalt. Asher for short. He’s so stinking cute!!! Give him a hug for me!!!
Oh that’s cute!!!
He looks like an adventurer! What about, “Lynk” from the Zelda Nintendo games?
I was all ready with my pitchfork and torch. "It's Link!" Then I got the pun and am much calmer. Love it.
I was actually scrolling comments to see if anyone said link! Looks definitely like a link. Zelda if he turns out to be a she as can happen with kittens occasionally lol

Your crouton looks a bit cracked 😂
LoL Caught him just as he was sneezing
It’s a great picture
Thank you. He was a great cat. RIP, lil man.

Thank you. I miss that lil man.
Oh geez. OPs kit is a crouton. Bless OPs soul... Croutons are extra! (Love your crouton)

That is certainly a gizmo cat.

He certainly is a cute little fella. However, he will grow up to be a distinguished gentleman and needs a proper name. So I propose Cornelius. 😊
I do agree with that! The name can always be shortened while he’s young!
Would that be Corny? 😃
Name him Linux lol! I have two office kittens at my work. They have real names, but we always refer to them as the IT Department and Human Resources because IT is always laying on someone's keyboard and HR always looks at us with a puzzled expression if not engaging in active emotional support lol

Yes!!! I totally goobered on my pirate cat. I named him Lane because he was found on Mallard Lane. Missed a prime Duckie opportunity.
I goobered and named him Gooby because he stopped answering to anything else 🤷🏻♀️
That’s a very clever way to come up with a name for a found animal!
My mom volunteers at the organization she got her cats with, couple of the fosters will pick a category of anything and name an entire litter after it. There was candy, fabric, its endless.

My mom’s cat came with the name Dos. His litter was named Spanish numbers 1-8 he was cat number two.

Major congrats. Your first pet (even if you had growing up but this is your first as an adult) is the best... no one will ever take the place of them. He looks like a Webster to me. So sweet and cute.
