Notes from Cats-Are-Purrsons-Too

Meet West!

West is 9 months old, orange and white, handsome as can be—and packed with all the orange energy you could possibly want!

West and his siblings were rescued after starting life outdoors, and when he first arrived, he wasn't exactly convinced that humans were his people. He was cautious, wary and definitely not ready to hand out trust for free.

Fast-forward a few months and West has completely transformed. He has discovered the joys of people, laps, playtime and being adored. These days, he's a curious, playful sweetheart who has become a full-fledged lap kitty.

So why is this handsome boy still here?

Well… West has committed the terrible crime of growing. He's almost full-sized, so people tend to walk right past him thinking he's an adult. But make no mistake—he is still very much a kitten, complete with zoomies, curiosity and plenty of classic orange-cat shenanigans.

West has a few important opinions: Temptation treats? YES. Fresh chicken? ABSOLUTELY. Being picked up? Hard pass. He'd much rather climb into your lap himself, which frankly is a perfectly reasonable boundary.

West has already come such a long way. Now he just needs the final chapter: a family of his own.

If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, curious orange boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart, come meet West! He may be almost full-grown, but there's still plenty of kitten left in this boy—and he is ready to find his forever home. i
