    My husband got home from work at about 5am and found this beautiful girl on the back porch. It's his birthday and he has been talking about wanting an orange cat for years and he just happened to hit the jackpot with a female ginger (he is also a ginger)

  • It takes a special type of purrson to want an orange cat, and when you wish for it hard enough, you can bet the Cat Distribution System is listening. On his birthday, after coming back from work at 5 AM, the husband in our story below found his purrfect present just waiting to be rescued. A fluffy orange feline, and not just any orange cat, a female orange cat. For those of you not versed in cat genetics, female orange cats are very rare. So, after searching the neighborhood to see if she was anyone's missing cat, he safely said it was time to bring her into the family.

    She is very skinny and scarfed down an entire bowl of food as soon as she made it into the house. However she is so friendly and sweet, my husband is 100% in love already.

    Borrowing the top comment to update that she does not have a microchip and no one in our area has posted about missing her. She has a vet appointment next friday and I'll update if we have any little surprises coming

    FairyFartDaydreams If it truly is a female and she is as friendly as you say she might be a trojan cat carrying some surprises

    Rabbitrules87 CDS apparently does birthday. presents too! E

  • We understand wanting an orange cat. They're like the golden retrievers of the cat world. They're silly, almost entirely food-motivated, and the only instincts they have are to cuddle and cause chaos. Living with an orange cat is always an expurrience - you never know if you're going to come home to find them hanging by one claw from the living room chandelier or curled up on the couch without even realizing you ever left. Ours is one of the ones that likes to hang from the chandelier.

    knittedmerkin What a beautiful lady and such a wonderful birthday present for your husband. May you all live happily ever after.

  • From one feline fan to another, we know how special it is to get the cat you've always dreamed of having. The joy, the tears, and the feeling of understanding that she came at the purrfect moment. We pawsitively believe that they were brought together for a reason, and we hope that reason was to make each other happy for a number of years to come.

    Sweet Potato781 What a beautiful kitty! She's probably a lost or discarded pet. When you take her to the vet they can check for a chip just in case she's just lost. You can also check with your local SPCA or equivalent to see if she's been reported lost.
