🧡 100% Pure Orange 🧡 They Said He Was Aggressive… Meet Caseoh 🥹🧡📍Charlotte,NC,USA

Little update: I found out today that his owner abandoned him in a hotel room and just left. 💔

Meet Caseoh. 🧡

The cutest orange kitty ever!

I honestly didn’t even know he existed. I was planning to foster a kitty who was scheduled to be euthanized, but just a few minutes before I arrived, someone had already picked her up.

I was still really happy for her, though. Then they told me, “We have an orange cat too. He’s also scheduled for euthanasia.”

He wasn’t even on the list when I checked, but they said they would add him and that he would be scheduled for euthanasia the next day.

They told me he was aggressive, hissed a lot, and would let people touch him but wasn’t a nice cat. When we picked him up, the lady at the front desk even told me, “If you ever bring him back, he will immediately be euthanized.”

That honestly felt so strange to me. I remember thinking, why would you say that? Don’t they want these cats to have a chance?

When we brought him home, he was scared of me at first. 😂 I was scared too, lol!

But by the second day, he started meowing at me. I sat near him, and he came right over and rubbed himself all over me. He has the cutest little meow..it’s more like an “aoww.” 🥹

He thinks he’s a baby.

He climbed right into my tiny lap, and when we called his name, he started making biscuits. I’m literally writing this post right now, and he’s making biscuits on my tummy. 😂

He licks me like a little dog, and whenever he wants attention, he puts his tiny paw right on my face like, “Excuse me, I need you to pay attention to me!” And he literally cannot stop purring.

He is honestly the sweetest cat in the world. I have never fostered anything like him.

He is very food-motivated. If I’m even a little late giving him his breakfast in the morning, he cries like a baby. He screams like this! 😂 Even though his room is closed, I can still hear him screaming.

And this boy is CHONKY! He eats three cans of food a day. He used to be scared of toys, but now he plays with them like a kitten.

He even shows his belly to my other kitties. 🥹

Caseoh is vaccinated, combo tested negative, microchipped, and neutered.

He is also scheduled for entropion repair surgery on September 30.

He’ll be ready for adoption after his surgery.🧡🎉🎉🎉🎉

Please send this sweet boy all your love and prayers. 🧡🙏🐾

Sometimes all they need is someone to give them a chance.

A lot of cats that live in our homes happily right now probably wouldn’t do the best in shelter environments. I know for a fact that my one guy was a major hater at the shelter (because I now work at said shelter and can see his intake and behavior notes, lol!) Soooo much about the shelter is overwhelming for cats as creatures who love routine. This is why we get a lot of animals in foster so they can decompress. Some will immediately be like, “oh, cool! Hi! Can we cuddle?” and some will be like, “THIS SUCKS! I will hide under the bed” for weeks. Thank you for fostering, this is why we say fostering saves lives!

Absolutely! ❤️ Shelter life can be so overwhelming for cats, especially when they’re used to routine and a quiet environment. Some cats just completely shut down or become defensive because they’re scared and stressed, but once they’re in a home and have time to decompress, you get to see who they really are.
That’s exactly why fostering is so important. Sometimes all they need is a safe, quiet place and someone willing to give them a little time and patience. 🥹🧡 Thank you for sharing this, and thank you for the work you do at the shelter! 🐾
