About West

Meet West! West is a charming 9-month-old orange and white tabby, overflowing with energy and charm. He began life outdoors, initially wary of humans, but has swiftly transformed into a confident, playful lap kitty who loves to be adored. Despite his growth, many overlook him, mistaking him for an adult. However, don’t be fooled—he’s still filled with kitten antics, curiosity, and those delightful ‘zoomie’ moments. West has his preferences: temptation treats are a must, while fresh chicken is always welcomed. He prefers to hop into laps himself rather than being picked up, a boundary that’s entirely understandable. Now he needs the final piece of his journey: a family to call his own. If you’re ready to welcome an affectionate, curious orange boy with a big heart, West might just be the perfect addition to your home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
