Welcome to the Cat Distribution System on Reddit. Life has a funny way of giving you a cat when you least expect it. This community celebrates successful distributions: cats that showed up out of nowhere, worked their way into your heart, and found their furever home. The CDS allocates cats that need homes, not cats that may already have one, so please make reasonable efforts to find whether a cat has an existing owner before claiming your delivery. See our Community Guide for FAQs.
348K members. The best post we have captured here reached 53.9K upvotes, which works out to 155 per 1,000 members.

Flairs are the community's own categories, and the closest thing a subreddit has to telling you what it wants.

Found this kitten in the street a day before Christmas. I’m not a cat person and I have two dogs. But I couldn’t leave her in the cold with her eyes …
Rescued him from a bush outside my flat
Someone tossed this fella out of their car a couple roads down from my place. He ran right up to me. This is Noodle!
Found dying on the sidewalk
My dog died last night, today I found something noisy in my dog's stroller that I left outside
Fiancé and I visited our wedding venue yesterday. Don’t think this was on our registry
She screamed outside my window until I let her in😭♥️
A week after my 16yo kitty passed, we found this dude frozen to our driveway. Spoon is 2 now, but I’m convinced his brain is still thawing out.
There's been a mix-up in the system
I took in a pregnant stray and named her Honey. She had 3 beautiful babies in May and I decided to keep the whole family.
Within four times the member count either way, so the comparison is fair. Sorted by upside.
Answered from the posts ViralHunt holds from this community, not from Reddit's own about page.
ViralHunt tracks Reddit and eight other networks, records how every post grows, and puts what is taking off in front of your team in one list.

We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong. Peak per 1,000 members is computed the same way for every community listed. See how we measure.
