About Orion

Orion is a special cat who joined the rescue with his sister, Davina. They both arrived needing significant medical assistance. Orion had to have both eyes removed and requires a special diet, making him part of a unique and loving household. Though he relies on Davina for support, he’s learning to navigate his world without sight. Orion produces the cutest chirping sounds and has a fondness for catnip, chirping birds, and jingle ball toys. Being timid, he takes a little time to trust and settle in. His sensitive nature means he does best in a calm environment, particularly as he's sensitive to loud noises. While Orion gets along with other cats, he is not suited for homes with children. A dedicated and patient adopter is essential for Orion to thrive. Get ready to change a life; apply today!
