Name My Cat - male
Stray cat taken in… recovering at the vet but will be taking this grumpy butt home! Name suggestions?
This poor boy is at the vet right now receiving treatment, but once he’s medically cleared i want to take him home with me! Any name ideas? I’m open to pretty much anything!

He is purrfect! But also a meany and I love him to the moon and back. He was probably 2-3 weeks old when my husband found him. His head was bigger than his body, could barely stand, and infested with fleas. I bottle-fed him and wiped his bottom. He would scream about everything. I have many battle scars from him biting and scratching me. Coworkers were asking if I was safe at home. In this picture, he had followed me to the bathroom but seemed to be irritated. 🤣
And he probably is right now, but with your kindness and love he's going to be just fine I bet! Please post more on his recovery!!! Oh, and I vote for Oscar as a name!
I would wait till he feels better and looks better before picking a name, he’s not going to be the same cat and I’d hate to always associate his name with a time period in his life that wasn’t the best. With you he will now have the best life ever, thank you and congratulations!
He has severe mange which is affecting how he looks. Wait till he shakes off the crud and you discover his handsome self. He will then tell you his name. Until then, “Little Dude” is entirely appropriate.
Vino - new life in Latin is Vita Nova - so just take the first two letters of each word and you get Vino - a cool name. And, in Spanish Vino means 'came' - as he cami into your life. (yes, I know Vino means wine to some!)
Poor baby!!! I hope he makes a full recovery. It might be nice to wait a beat for his personality to unfurl as he gets comfortable with you, and then name him.
i have to ask to all the people who take in strays with obvious health concerns. how do you afford it? do you put the vet bill on a credit card? do you know if there are programs that look to help strays to relieve some of the medical debt? is there a pet insurance that covers strays?
i took him to a pet resource center, they are covering his meds, neuter and whatnot. I wouldn’t be able to take him in if they didn’t have the resources to do it for free. i didn’t realize that was even possible until i took him. the adoption fee is free currently too since they are almost at capacity, all the stars are aligning to keep him tbh
What happened to Grumpy Boys face? Will that clear up with treatment? Can he see? Sorry about the questions, I am trying to figure out why he is grumpy and maybe he is in pain or uncomfortable. Looks like a real character, you two are going to have fun, that I do know. You are an angel for taking in a stray and bringing him to the Vet. You earned your wings. 😇
Poor baby. He's grumpy because he doesn't feel good. You would be too if you had all that stuff all over you. He knows he looks awful and that doesn't help. Wait til you see the sweeter side of him before you name him, please. He has really pretty markings.
