Orange Boy (FELV+)'s Story

🍊 Meet Orange Boy — a bright little flame waiting for his chance to shine.<br/><br/>Orange Boy is the kind of kitten who feels like a spark of sunlight in fur form — lively, curious, and always eager to be wherever his humans are. He’s a small orange boy with the sweetest expressions, the softest coat, and a personality bursting at the seams with joy.<br/><br/>He doesn’t just enjoy company… he needs it.<br/>He follows people with hopeful eyes, always ready to pounce on a toy, climb a lap, or chirp little greetings from across the room. His world is tiny right now — a small, safe habitat — but his heart is enormous, pushing against the edges, longing for more space, more warmth, more life.<br/><br/>And it’s impossible not to feel something in your chest when you realize what he’s waiting for.<br/><br/>💛 Orange Boy is FELV-positive.<br/>He’s showing no symptoms, and he’s living every day like a perfectly normal kitten — racing, wrestling toys, batting shadows, and delighting in every bit of attention he can soak up.<br/><br/>But his future is uncertain.<br/>He’ll need to be retested at 6 months, because some kittens do outgrow the virus…<br/>and some don’t.<br/><br/>What we do know is this:<br/>Orange Boy should not have to spend whatever time he has — long or short — in a small enclosure watching life from behind a barrier. He deserves room to run. A window to sunbathe in. The sound of human footsteps he recognizes. A lap to curl into when he finally tires himself out.<br/><br/>He deserves a chance to be someone’s kitten.<br/><br/>✨ Why adopt a kitten like him?<br/>Because loving an FELV-positive kitten is an act of pure heart — choosing presence over promises, joy over guarantees. Orange Boy isn’t asking for years… he’s asking for today. For a home where he can live freely, happily, and fully, even if life doesn’t offer him the longest timeline.<br/><br/>🐾 What he’ll give you:<br/>• Endless entertainment — he’s an energetic little comet<br/>• Soft, eager companionship — he wants to be by your side<br/>• Snuggles that feel like gratitude<br/>• The quiet honor of knowing you changed a life that truly needed you<br/><br/>FELV is not contagious to people or dogs, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. There’s no adoption fee — only a donation of your choosing after our standard vetting. What matters most is finding the person whose heart feels that tug… the one who knows that the value of a life isn’t measured in time, but in love.<br/><br/>Orange Boy is ready to leave his small habitat and finally live.<br/>All he needs now is someone who sees the beauty in giving him that chance. 🍊💛
