My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🍊 Meet Orange Boy — a bright little flame waiting for his chance to shine.

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.

He doesn’t just enjoy company… he needs it.
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.

And it’s impossible not to feel something in your chest when you realize what he’s waiting for.

💛 Orange Boy is FELV-positive.
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.

But his future is uncertain.
He’ll need to be retested at 6 months, because some kittens do outgrow the virus…
and some don’t.

What we do know is this:
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.

He deserves a chance to be someone’s kitten.

✨ Why adopt a kitten like him?
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.

🐾 What he’ll give you:
• Endless entertainment — he’s an energetic little comet
• Soft, eager companionship — he wants to be by your side
• Snuggles that feel like gratitude
• The quiet honor of knowing you changed a life that truly needed you

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.

Orange Boy is ready to leave his small habitat and finally live.
All he needs now is someone who sees the beauty in giving him that chance. 🍊💛
