This young orange tabby kitten was born outside and spent his first weeks living around a residential area (near apartment buildings), mostly hiding in bushes/under cars and coming out for food. I found him while feeding a local group of street cats—he was smaller than the others and kept his distance—so I started offering him food separately and gradually got him used to people. Once he was eating reliably and letting me get close, I brought him indoors to foster so he could be safe and start getting used to home life. He has been seen by a veterinarian for a general check-up, treated for the usual kitten parasites (deworming), and checked for any obvious health issues; if you adopt him, I’ll share what’s been done and what the vet recommended next (vaccines/boosters and neutering when he’s old enough). He doesn’t need any special care right now—just normal kitten care, good food, a litter box, playtime, and a calm transition to a new home. Personality-wise he’s curious and observant: he usually watches first, then approaches once he decides things are safe, and he’s not “wild” all day—he plays in bursts and then settles. He’s getting more comfortable with handling and accepts pets, especially when relaxed, but because he started outdoors he may hide a bit at first in a new place, so patience and a slow introduction (one room at the beginning) really help. With other animals, he should do well with a friendly cat if introductions are done slowly, and could be okay with a calm dog who respects boundaries; with children he’d be best with gentle kids who can give him space while he adjusts. Indoor-only adoption is preferred for his safety. Depending on location, I can help with transport to his new home or meet halfway—we can arrange what’s easiest and safest for him. Candidates can message me and I’ll answer any questions and share all the details I have about his routine and progress.
