Hey, everyone. @CatsOfYore got run off of Bluesky by a shitty harasser; show her some love over here on the Fediverse, pls?

@adrienne Thank you so much! I actually just rejoined Bluesky last night though after a month away. Bluesky reached out to me and assured me that the stalker had been permanently suspended, not just a time out, and that they're actively working on improving safety and moderation. I will still be continuing to post to mastodon as well, though. Again, thank you. I appreciate your kindness.

My little Marcel, the happiest boy in the world! We say he has a "mullet coat" because he looks shorthaired in front but then it gradually floofs out to medium haired pantaloons and a lush, full tail. 😂 He's only 8 months old, though. Our vet thinks he might floof out all over eventually but obviously he's perfect no matter what.

My little boy, Marcel! He was found by SPCA Monteregie at only 3 months old with a terrible injury to his right eye. Unfortunately the eye had to be removed and later he tested positive for FIV.

Last fall when my boyfriend and I were looking for a new friend to adopt we weren't looking for kittens at all - we've always adopted adult cats. But we are very experienced with FIV and when we saw Marcel's story we knew he was the one. He is just the happiest little boy! He loves everything and everyone and has brought so much light into our lives. ❤️
