Please help me, /an/.
>middle of the night
>walking home
>it's cold and rainy
>suddenly, a cat starts to follow me
>follows me for a mile, all the way to my doorstep
>I walk the cat back to the place I found him
>cat is exhausted, it just lies down and looks helpless
>too soft-hearted to just leave him there
>I let him rest a little, before he follows me back home again
>cat can barely walk up the stairs, but seems otherwise healthy besides the physical exhaustion
>I let him in, but I just give it water and let it crash on the couch
>don't want to usurp some other person's cat, so I don't feed him, to prevent him from feeling too much at home
>local animal protection groups don't open up until morning
>am not allowed by contract to own pets, so I stay awake to prevent the cat from pissing on the floor or worse
>I improvise a litter box out of a cardboard box and torn cardboard as litter
>put on some soothing cat music to put him at ease
>cat falls asleep in my chair
>go to /an/ to ask for help
What do, /an/? The cat is very cuddly, but I can't keep him. He might belong to someone else, and I am not allowed by my landlord to own pets anyways. I want him to be okay, but I don't want him to think I'm his new owner. Is it okay if I let him out to fend for himself once he wakes up, or should I wait until the local animal protection centers open up and contact them? Should I go door to door in the neighborhood I found him in? Should I completely refrain from feeding him?
Pic is not the actual cat, be he kinda looks like the one in the picture.

Wait till a shelter/vet opens. Take him there they can check to see if he has an id chip. If not some dipshit just lost their "pet".
Pro mode:
>take him home
>move to place that allows cats
>adopt your new roommate that won't pay rent but will always be there for you when you get home
>>
>>2430422
Adopting him is not an option, I'm afraid. I love cats, but I simply do not have the means to own one. I travel frequently between two towns, and like I said, I'm not allowed by contract to own pets, and I really like my apartment despite that.
I guess I'll just have to wait until the vet opens. I can't really sleep while he's here. I don't know whether or not he's houseclean, and I'm scared of him causing property damage while I'm sleeping. Since I'm not allowed to own pets, that would probably be pretty bad.

Cats that aren't feral are pretty much automatically house broken. If you've got time run to the store and pick up a cheap bag of litter. If your op pic is the cat in question I gurantee you a kitty that clean would know to use the litter box. Also, give him some food. If you're leaving him at a shelter tomorrow don't let him go hungry.
A cheap, small bag of litter and a cheap, small bag of food shouldn't run you more than 5$ and you can probably give what's left over to the shelter.

I'm fucking sad, /an/.
Eight months ago we rescued a little bunny from a fair, she was being sold as a meat rabbit so we pretty much saved her life. Until today.
Today I lost my girl (the big one in the photo), her name was Vito and she was the most lazy bunno you'd ever met.
Is so surreal to bury her (I wanted to cremate her but fiancee wouldn't let me), just this morning she was running and eating with her brother Jimmy. They were always together, the biggest one and the smallest one of our family.
We lost her because she had a hearth attack during her spaying, and I can't help but to blame my fiancee for letting her get overweight. But no matter the reason, she's dead now, and I can't stand the pain.
Every moment feels like I'm about to wake up from a bad dream, I'm even afraid of sleeping because I might wake up forgetting about it for a moment and then realizing the truth.
I'm writing this because I need to, the last two years or so have been full of loss for me but this is the first time where it actually hurts me.
I lost my uncle last Christmas and my grandfather two months ago, but this time is different.
I hope any of you can understand, I've segregated myself from my toxic family two years ago so my bunnos and my fiancee are all I have right now.
For me, I just lost a daughter.
Right now I'm drinking until I pass out while my fiancee is with her parents, so please, hear me out.
Love your animals like is the last day you'll ever see them, because it may be.
Seeing her not breathing was the hardest moment I've ever gone through, so just do it.
Go and give any animal you may have a kiss, they are your family and you are theirs. You never know what the future will bring, so don't let them forget that you love them.

Holy shit, you got some baggage. Maybe not the best place to lay all your shit out, but RIP bun. Sounds like you gave her a good life.
>>
>>2430304
I don't really care about the place, I just needed to vent out and an anonymous forum sounds about right.
I gave her a good family, medicine food and love, she was happy and that is what keeps me going.

I feel you. Only time I experienced the death of a pet was with a canary bird when I was a kid. My parents sold a bunny we had and now I own a cute 3 yr old pupper
I just don't know how I'll cope with her death eventually. I can't help but think of grim and morbid stuff.

>In first ever sighting, wild lion adopts leopard cub
>A wild lioness has been observed suckling a leopard cub in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in the first ever observed instance of such animal behavior. Although certain cats like lions have been observed taking in and nursing the young of others of their own species—usually kin of their relatives—this sighting of cross-species adoption is unprecedented.

Cross species adoption is common in the animal kingdom. Even if it's raised with other lions, it's going to have to go out on its own at a relatively young age, mother or not. Other lions will kill it early on otherwise.

>>2430105
that's really fucked up, senpai.

sad thing that the other lions will try to kill it

This is amazing, what small/cheap-easy to care for lizards, snakes, and reptiles can I keep together in an ecosystem like this? (Asking for names of species because I'm an invert guy.)
https://youtu.be/20HFRaO5sBo
Even if its not an open roam, the ecosystem alone, its amazing to see so many different animals together, I thought theyd kill each other, again im not a scaly guy but Im not interested

How does that not fuck up the room. Theres no way he cleans up all the shit and dead animals so its going to get rank. Not to mention theres crickets and shit everywhere.
>>
>>2430652
hes black, he didnt think that far ahead
also - hes black, he probably doesnt give a shit. probably a rental house too
>>
>cricket box doesn't have an internal box
I take it he got those from the local store and not in the mail. lol
I'd have my own cricket farm for something like this.
>having multiple species of herps in the same enclosure
Derp.

If I were to do this, I'd lay down a layer of Rubber roofing (EPDM single ply membrane). It is the kind used for flat roofs. I may put that on pallets so that the floor under it can breath and there won't be any moisture vapor problems.
I'd also have an air lock foyer for the room.

Hello.
I was on a ride today and found this little bastard on my jacket sleeve.
he seemed to be having a jolly good time and I let him go into some tall grass.
what the hell is it?
some sort of space alien from beyond the moon?
I have been searching online but I can't seem to locate anything quite like it.
Location: Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
