Orion's Story

Orion's story started with seven tiny kittens and a young mama cat who had been left behind when her owner moved away. She wandered to a neighboring home looking for help and did everything she could to care for her babies, but the situation wasn’t safe. One kitten had already been lost and they desperately needed somewhere safe to go.<br/><br/>Their young mama had been abandoned and was trying to care for seven kittens on her own. When she eventually stopped caring for them, the kittens were left frightened, unsocialized, and essentially feral.<br/><br/>Like his black-coated brothers, Orion is a little more cautious when meeting new people. He likes to take a minute to watch, figure you out, and make sure everything feels safe before he fully lets his guard down.<br/> <br/>Orion may be cautious, but apparently tiny witch hats are where he draws the line. <br/><br/><br/>Once he feels comfortable though, his playful side comes right out. He loves toys, loves being around his siblings, and has turned into such a sweet, funny little guy.<br/><br/>He has come a long way since he first arrived at True North, and it has been so rewarding watching him get more confident little by little.<br/><br/>And somehow, despite being a little unsure about new things, he absolutely pulled off the tiny witch hat. <br/><br/>Orion is still looking for his forever home. He would do best with someone who can give him a little patience at first and let him settle in at his own pace.<br/><br/>We have a feeling whoever gives this handsome boy that chance is going to end up very, very lucky. <br/><br/><br/>Please note: Orion is still too young for spay/neuter at this time. Their adoption includes a required future spay/neuter through True North Sanctuary, and the adoption will not be considered complete until the procedure has been performed.
