Orson's Story

Hi, I'm Orson - your future one-eyed snuggle king. I'm a brown tabby boy who's been through a lot, including losing an eye, but trust me... I see all the important things just fine: comfy beds, gentle hands, and, most importantly, you. I'm a calm, sweet guy who really blossoms once I've had my meal. After food, I turn into a full-on lovebug. I'll trot over for pets, lean in for scritches, and curl right up on you. Honestly? Once I'm snuggled in, I prefer not to get up. Ever. Being cozy is my calling. Like many cats who've had hard chapters, I am careful about who handles me. Because of that, I'd do best in a home without young children, or with people who can read cat body language. I just want a real home, a soft blanket, and someone who understands me! If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, one-eyed companion who just wants to snuggle his way into your heart (and your lap), I'm your guy. Come meet me - I'm ready for my forever home!
