Did the vet give you an age estimate? If he's young (and it seems like he is), you can really help his adoptability by getting him used to handling his paws, belly and teeth.
This cat fully chose you. I have a cat who was starving and scrawny, who wandered into my home and picked me. Two of them, actually. This is the most special feeling. He asked you to save him and you listened. This is the beginning of a legendary friendship. This is now your son. Be prepared or him to yell at you when it's dinner time.
This is basically how my orange boy, Otis, looked after a clean up, though he had some injuries that required the cone of shame! I'm sure you have gotten plenty of advice but just be aware he'll probably sleep for a loooong time now that he can finally relax. Otis slept a lot for the first two days, then he began to get playful. Introducing toys is fine, just know a little bit of playtime will wear him out faster than normal and he'll need lots of breaks. He already looks so happy!!
He’s settling in nicely! I’ll get him some cat toys once he start to get some energy back. Right now he just wants to sleep in my lap. I’m sure he will be playful when he feels good.
I have a sweet little stray that started coming around about a year ago. I call ghost too, same coloring and all! He has one small white spot on his chest but that's it. He would appear & disappear out of nowhere so I started calling him ghost. So glad you saved that sweet boy ❤️❤️
I have been following the vets advice about feeding. He’s super under weight so he’s on a high calorie diet until he’s gained some weight. The poor boy so so skinny you can feel every bone in his body when you pet him :( but I’ll make sure he gains weight (in a healthy way)
I bet once he fills up he’s going to be one of the most beautiful cats humanity has ever seen. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Now you have gained a great master
I adopted a starving cat 12 years ago. He was less than a year old and was a skeleton with skin hanging off him. His nickname is now Chunks. He's done extremely well and adores us all, even the German Shepherd. Ghost will be fine, and so lucky to have you.
I'm completely convinced that animals know when they have been saved and this kitty is no exception. Be ready, because he's going to make you his human and believe me when I say it is an honor. Best
Thank you for saving him. It breaks my heart to see the shape he’s in. I’ll never understand how anyone can do something like that to an innocent animal. They don’t get to choose who their people are, people choose them. They are not yours until you are tired of them , they are yours for their lifetime. So if you aren’t ready to commit to them for the rest of their lives then please don’t adopt them. They aren’t going to be “okay” if you just dump them out somewhere. They aren’t wild, they don’t have the skill set to survive on the streets. That sweet kitty is so lucky you found him. I’m so happy he’s going to recover and have a happy, love filled life.
What a wonderful person you are! I'm glad to hear that Ghost is in good health other than being half starved to death. I love reading stories like this! A pox on the people/persons who dumped him in the middle of nowhere. I sure hope there wasn't a whole litter of them. He is going to be more handsome once he has proper weight. Such a gentle creature, too. He was probably around humans and had no idea how to catch food.
You guys are REALLY CHAMPIONS! Thank you so much for taking in a loving little friend off the street, I pray and hope all the best for him and you all!
Ohhhhh...he looks so much like my Little Boy. You're keeping him, right? He's obviously been through some stuff and deserves a nice home with lots of love....
He’s a beautiful boy! I remember you’re post yesterday… He looks like a super sweet baby… I’m so glad you’re keeping him… He is glad too. Poor thing was starving and would of died without your help. He won’t forget it… Cats remember ♥️ Please post in a week or 2 again… let’s us know how Ghost is recovering:) All the best to you both:)
Thank you for being such a great human! He is adorable, such a sweet face, and I wish you many happy years together. He will be a real beauty when he fills out.
Good luck with Ghost, I bet he will become a healthy,, happy cat in no time. Thank you for caring enough to adopt him and take care of him, God Bless :)
Thanks for keeping us updated. You both are lucky to have found each other. And have you decided to adopt Ghost? Whether yes or no, enjoy him and continue to keep us updated, please.
OMG sooooo cute. Thank you for the update. Welcome to a life of indentured servitude. Your life will be filled with Cat box cleaning, responding to every demand. This kitty owns you now. Trust me I know, I have 4 that I serve!!!
He has been sleeping on my lap for the last few hours but just woke up and purred for the first time 😊
He knows you saved him, and that he now owns you.
Thank you so much for saving him! That sweet little face says it all. Tears of joy. We love you Ghost! ♥️
Thank you so much! It's stories like yours that give me hope for humanity ❤️
thank you for doing this
Amazing please continue to keep us posted! Strong ghost haha. Takes a lickin keeps on ticking!!
He a fighter! I can’t believe he made it as long as he did on his own. There are sooo many coyotes in the area.
Kind of a Lazarus story.
Did the vet give you an age estimate? If he's young (and it seems like he is), you can really help his adoptability by getting him used to handling his paws, belly and teeth.
also, he seems ok with me touching he paws, tail, face and belly. He’s quite sweet.
The vet said it was hard to tell but estimated between 5-10 months old
I’m thinking he’s already found his forever home.
What a sweet bundle of fur. Please keep giving updates of his progress.
Can do :)
He's adorable and you've now got a lifelong companion
:)
What a handsome baby 🥺❤️

I already get yelled at by my dog when it’s dinner time. I’m used to it :P gotta keep the animals happy and fed
I was hoping you would give us an update. I'm so happy that everything worked out. Congrats on your new kitty.
a sweet raggedy boy there
Awww what a sweetie!!
He looks so happy in the last pic!
Nice work
Ghost is champion of the world 😍
He's still got such a handsome face even though he's very emaciated. Can't imagine how better he'll look when he's nice and plump.
I’ll be sure to post another update when he has put on some weight and looks healthy
He sounds like a sweetie! I love his coloring & markings. Great job saving this little babe!
Izzy, thank you so much for rescuing Ghost! He looks like a fabulous companion. He’s so cuuttttee
Thank you so much. You look like you have a new friend forever! Enjoy him.
Congrats
Thank you for taking him in and giving him a home. Hes a handsome fella! Post more pics when he gets bigger!

Poor guy looks exhausted. Thank you for saving him!
He’s definitely exhausted. The poor thing could hardly walk when I found him. He’s resting up now though with a full belly and warm bed!
Poor baby he's so thin. Thank goodness you saved him!🙏😽❤️
I can feel every bone in his body when I pet him. It breaks my heart, but he’s going to put on weight and get strong!
Thank you for your kindness. We have four ferals we rescued. They are the the best part of our life.
That’s awesome! Have any pictures to share?
Already making himself at home!
He has made himself quite comfortable. He already appointed himself king of the house
Yay for Ghosty!!!!!🌟 😻 he looks very much like my childhood cat Nipper. Tell him I love him very much please 🌻💜
Just gave him a snuggle for you <3
Updates as you progress.
THANK YOU for taking in this sweet baby and getting him healthy again! You’re an awesome person
❤️
Good news.
I fed a feral cat even skinnier than that. You could see her ribs and spinal bones. She was days (maybe hours) from death.
Ahhh, that’s really sweet! BBFs for life
Oh, good!
Please cherish him!
Yay!! Thank you for helping this fussy boi.
Thank you for saving him!
Awwww, he looks like such a sweet little soul.
I love scraggly boy kitties. Please give him a big ol chin scratch from me!
Consider it done! Chin scratches will be delivered with love
More updates as he fattens and you are my hero!
Will do! I’m going to make sure Ghost fattens up (in a healthy way)!
I have a sweet little stray that started coming around about a year ago. I call ghost too, same coloring and all! He has one small white spot on his chest but that's it. He would appear & disappear out of nowhere so I started calling him ghost. So glad you saved that sweet boy ❤️❤️
i named my sweet little gray baby ghost too!!! 🥺
Awww, that’s awesome!
He gon’ get fat. Control his food intake, he will be soooo food focused.
I have been following the vets advice about feeding. He’s super under weight so he’s on a high calorie diet until he’s gained some weight. The poor boy so so skinny you can feel every bone in his body when you pet him :( but I’ll make sure he gains weight (in a healthy way)
I love him so much I want to scream
I bet once he fills up he’s going to be one of the most beautiful cats humanity has ever seen. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Now you have gained a great master

best thing i’ve seen all day! 💗 so glad he’ll be okay
What a sweet lil boi. I wish I could pet him, such a cute little mew.
I’ll give him some pets for you :)
This post made me cry. You are a truly wonderful person. Much love and respect.
Thank you for saving him. He looks like a sweet boy
He’s very snuggly :)
Thanks for being a good human. I assume you are going to keep this cat
The last picture you can see in his face he’s a fighter!!!! Good call on he’s name!!
Oh my God..thank you❤❤❤❤
Yay!!
Hooray!! Wishing you both many happy years together!
Omg please give us updates as he gets better ❤️
I most definitely will!
How do you make bigger ups?
Your a angel.❤️❤️❤️
YOU saved his life! Thank you for your generous loving heart ♥️!
Serious question:
So nice of you, bless the kitty saints
YEAH!! And bless you for stopping to help a starving soul. Sincerely, thank you for saving the kitten.
He's probably thinking "The food and water were good... but this bath thing is something else..."
🙏🙏
Please keep giving updates on his progress. you've now got a lifelong companion.
Thank you for taking care of him. Makes my day.
Oh god
Awesome Mews ❤️😻

Can't wait to see pics in a month, he's gonna look so awesome.
Nice job! You have a buddy for years!
I do :)
Please keep us updated on this sweetiepie❤️

I made sure to look for others when I found him in case there were more of them. I couldn’t find any :( I hope his litter mates are ok.
Yay!!!emote:t5_2qhta:7944
Awww! I love him! Thank you for helping him! 🥰
Good on you, OP
How old do the Vets think he is?
He looks a different color in every pic, is he beigy or grey? Very handsome and think he's going to have longish hair.
You guys are REALLY CHAMPIONS! Thank you so much for taking in a loving little friend off the street, I pray and hope all the best for him and you all!
He looks like he’ll be good as new in no time!!

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
Thank you for saving him. My main suggestion would be to make him an indoor only kitty, especially if you have coyotes in the area.
You could not have picked a better name. Wishing him a healthy, long and happy life
keep us updated!
Thank you for being such a great human! He is adorable, such a sweet face, and I wish you many happy years together. He will be a real beauty when he fills out.
Definitely keep us posted! I can’t wait to see this little fella once he’s recovered. Lucky that he has you
Good for you and your friend!
Thankfully he found a goid person to help him get better. Every fur baby deserves a goid and loving home. I truly hope you keep us updated on Ghost.
You're a hero! All the best to you and your new overlord!
To finally have a real home. 💕Your best bud for life!
😻❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Good luck with Ghost, I bet he will become a healthy,, happy cat in no time. Thank you for caring enough to adopt him and take care of him, God Bless :)
