I am a cat magnet. I have no idea how they find me, but they do. With alarming regularity.
I have 4 indoor cats, and several outdoor ferals (which to be perfectly honest is probably how they find me, bc of the food ) - I can't take any more in for a variety of reasons.
But a young, all-orange (no white feet or bib) male showed up last week. He is SUPER friendly and gregarious and silly and flirtatious. I've started to call him "Monkey" which my husband has adapted as "Minkey" after they way Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau pronounces the word "monkey".
He's always here at dusk or night, so I don't have good photos yet, but he looks like these two fellas:
HE NEEDS A GOOD HOME! I have him on the list for the next neutering trip a local rescue runs (sometime in October) and can cover neutering and rabies. I'd love to know he had a home to go to after that. He's on the wait list for the foster system here, too, but they're completely overwhelmed (it was a crazy kitten summer here) so I don't know when he'd be placed.
I'm in the NoVirginia area; if you're interested at all in this fella, or know someone who adores orange male tabbies, please let me know. He could be a great farm / barn cat, too. But he LOVES humans, and is curious but not aggressive toward my other cats. He just wants to play.
Please keep this kicked. Thank you.

(126 posts)I know, I'm asking obvious questions. Just wondering if he likes to wander at night. Is there a lost/found ad at the local animal control/shelter?
Sounds like a cutie. Hope he gets to where he needs to go. Very nice that you're a kitty caretaker. We need more of those in the world.

I thought he may have a home, too. But he's going to be neutered, whether his family wants him to be or not...
