Your cat most likely is male since the majority of orange cats are male. Please get him fixed ASAP. He cannot be left unneutered.

Please take him home with you ASAP. It is so dangerous outside for a cat. He won't need much at home. A litter box, which he will use naturally. China or glass bowls - one for food, one for water. Please don't feed him directly from a can. He will love you forever more if you rescue him & take him home.

Maybe you could get a large enough cardboard box that you can close up.  Poke a lot of holes in it for air flow and put it in a shady spot so she doesn't overheat.  I doubt that a kitten could shred a cardboard box in a short time.

I don't know where you are in Egypt, but I just looked up time and weather in Cairo and the web page says it is 11:45pm and 64 degrees.  Is that right?  Almost midnight?

Are you just waiting a few more hours until you get off work, or are you talking about leaving her for another entire day?

If you are leaving work before sunrise and taking her with you (and the temperature is below 70 degrees farenheit) the you can put her in your car now.  If you are leaving after sunrise, or you are talking about an entire whole day, then the car will get too hot...so don't do that.

Clarify the time and temperature and when you plan to take her with you please.

Shes a female.

I couldn't find her
I looked everywhere. Im hoping to find her in the morning when i get there. That's in 7 hours.

The only upside is that the weather is very nice these couple of days. Not too hot and not cold either..

Im hoping i can find her and take her. Wish me luck

Approx 70 degrees F. The weather is not the problem for Peaches. There are so many dangers outside for her. Is there no way you can come back later & find her?

Yes, of course, we wish you luck with her.  I thought you were planning to take her home with you yesterday and to a veterinarian today.  Is the new plan to go to work tomorrow morning, and take her home with you after work?

In today's update, you said that Peaches is healthy and well.  Yesterday, she had been injured and her leg was broken.  She has not been to the vet.  Do you think her leg is not broken?  Since she did have an obvious injury, you should get her checked by a veterinarian as soon as you possibly can. 

I know you're doing the best you can and that you love her.  She is also counting on you to help her and give her safety and good health.

Yes it could be just bruised and not a broken bone because she is walking much better. I really couldn't find her anywhere yesterday.
The new plan is taking her to the vet today straight after work and then from there ill take heart back home.
I just dont understand where she goes when she suddenly decides to get out of the gate and how she finds her way back
Im hoping she will be there.. can anyone please tell me how to make sure she stays around long enough for me to take her at 6pm?
I'll update you

I'm relieved to hear that you are getting her to a vet today.  That's most urgent since she sustained those injuries a few days ago.

She'll probably be back since you are feeding her.  If it's only going to be 20 degrees Celcius again today, you can put her in a cardboard box in the shade with plenty of holes cut in it for fresh air, and a bowl of water.  A little blanket would be nice, but use what you have.  You need some type of container to take her to the vet, so a box will work if you don't have a cat carrier.

I'm happy for you and your new kitty who is finally going to get a real home!

So i took her to the vet
She had a bath. Didn't resist
4 vaccines and like back of her neck is kinda wet from them
Nails clipped
Got a litter box & cat food
When i carried her she was scared from the street and a really loud Motorcycle passed by so she freaked out and jumped n scratched my neck by accident. Barely could feel it tho, should I worry?
When we got home and shes laying on my lap .. very weird thing.. shes purring nonstop. As in nonstopppp.. is that normal?

Purring nonstop is just something that many cats do.  She looks so content.  I am so glad that you got her and she is safe inside.  I wouldn't be too concerned about the scratches, bites are what are prone to infections.  Some soapy water should take care of the scratches.

Ok so something is happening with her
I am stroking her while shes laying on my lap like in the photos
But a couple of hours later im doing the same thing but everytime i touch a certain spot while stroking.. she meows lightly. Every single time same spot same meow.

She has her own room now with food, water, toys, and a bed but she chooses to stay with me in the living room. What happens when I have to go to work and leave her?

Oh!!!  She is so happy to be home with you.  She is so happy to have a real home finally! 


She is purring non-stop to let you know she loves you.  She is comfortable and content.

No worries about the scratch from her getting scared by the motorcycle.  I have a few scratches from my kitten who has not learned yet that my hand is not a toy.  A scratch now and then just comes with raising a kitten, either when they get scared or try to play with you too hard.

I'm very happy for you and Peaches!

Where did you touch her that made her meow?  Cats can be really sensitive low on their back close to their tail.  Some cats don't like to have their stomach petted.  If you pet her somewhere she doesn't like, she might meow at you.  She also might meow if she has pain in the spot you touched.  Hopefully the veterinarian didn't miss anything during her examination.

When you go to work, she will sleep most of the time or play with her toys.  Looks like you have provided her with everything she needs.

Where do you think?
She is so pretty. She looks like a golden version of Indy.

Please don't carry her by the neck as you did in the photo. Her back end needs to be supported.

Awww!  My older cat likes belly rubs.  My new kitten, not so much.

When the vet bathed her and gave her vaccines, did he say anything about her back leg which you thought was broken a few days ago?

Being touched on the left side of her back and no reaction on the same place on the right side sounds like she may have a sore or painful spot on the left.  When she had her leg injury, she could have also been hit or bruised in that spot you are touching that makes her meow.  You don't know if she was hit by a car, or attacked by another animal or mean human, but she could have some pain in her side not noticeable like the visibly obvious injury to her leg.

If the veterinarian thought she was fine, then she may just need a few days to completely feel better from whatever hurt her.

You can go out and buy dry shampoo for cats! It'll help with smell, or you can go out and buy dry shampoo AND regular cat shampoo if you'd like and bathe her this one time just not too much, only when she reallllyyy needs it. Dry shampoo can be used when you'd like I think, I can't remember. I can't find mine to read directions.
