Story
Meet Opie
Introducing Opie! This handsome orange boy is an affectionate little purr machine with a playful spirit and a love for adventure. Opie is at that perfect age where the world is one big playground, and he's ready to explore every inch of it!
A former bottle baby, Opie has been lovingly raised alongside his orange sister, Andi (who was adopted), and it shows in his sweet, people-loving personality. He loves attention, happily seeks out his humans, and has a special talent for turning laps into his favorite nap spots. If you're looking for a kitten who will curl up with you and purr himself to sleep, Opie might just be your guy!
When he's not snuggling, Opie is busy being a kitten! He loves toys, climbing cat towers, exploring his surroundings, following us humans and other pets around the house to see what everyone is up to. He has a curious, adventurous side and never wants to miss out on the action.
Opie can occasionally be a little timid when something startles him, but he bounces back quickly and is soon back to exploring and playing. He absolutely loves spending time with my 8-year-old and is remarkably tolerant of our 2-year-old pug/French Bulldog mix dog.
A note about Opie's medical condition:
We want to be completely transparent about an ongoing urinary concern. During Opie's neuter surgery, a medical note indicated that he may have suffered a suckling injury. Since then, we have observed that he does not always appear to fully empty his bladder when urinating. He sometimes returns to the litter box to urinate a second time immediately after finishing, and occasionally leaves small droplets of urine on the floor as he exits the box.
At this time, it is unclear whether this issue will resolve on its own or whether it is related to an underlying anatomical or medical condition that may require further investigation and treatment.
There are two possible outcomes:
Best-case scenario: His urinary symptoms resolve, and he goes on to live a completely normal, healthy life.
Alternative scenario: The issue persists and requires additional veterinary evaluation and potentially specialized treatment, which could include delicate and expensive surgery, depending on the underlying cause.
We cannot predict which outcome will occur, and we do not want to minimize the uncertainty or potential financial commitment involved. Anyone considering adopting Opie should be fully aware of this condition and prepared for the possibility of ongoing veterinary care. Opie was recently examined by a veterinarian, and at this time, no active treatment has been prescribed. The current recommendation is to monitor his condition on a wait-and-see basis and return for further evaluation if symptoms persist, worsen, or additional concerns arise.
Despite this uncertainty, Opie is a happy, adorable, loving, purr-machine, playful and affectionate little boy who deserves a loving home. We are committed to finding someone who sees what a special kitten he is and is willing to give him the chance he deserves.
