About Orson

Orson is a lively and playful young male Domestic Short Hair, with striking gray and white fur. Born in September 2025, this curious kitten loves to explore and engage in spirited play with his siblings and other cats. While he may initially be a bit shy, Orson warms up quickly, showcasing his affectionate demeanor. His favorite activities include leaping around, playing with toys, and, of course, squeezing into the closest box he can find. Orson would thrive in a home that can offer him a playmate, whether it’s another cat or one of his siblings. He has a playful personality and can be a bit rough in his interactions, so he might also adapt well to a cat-friendly dog, given a slow introduction. However, due to his tendency to nibble affectionately, a home with older children would likely suit him best. Orson is ready to find his perfect match, someone who appreciates a spirited companion with a heart of gold. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
