Home Needed: Orsini, Who Could Be Your Valentine
Red-headed Orsini thinks it's his turn to find a home of his own.
February is Cat Appreciation Month, and I have to tell you, I am not feeling appreciated. Sure, life is good at my fosters’ house. They are very nice people with friendly pets who I get along with just fine. I am happy for the love and warmth they have shown toward me, even when I have been shy and hesitant around them. Now that I have been here for a while, I am much more relaxed. I sleep on their beds and am happy to watch television with them. I even like being patted around my head and neck. We have become BFFs.
However, just because I am happy in my foster home does not mean I want to stay here forever. After all, don’t you think I deserve a forever home of my own? I don’t know why I haven’t found my match yet. I am a handsome and mellow redheaded guy who likes nothing more than good food, a comfortable bed, and a window to watch the world go by. Ok, yes, I am a bit tentative when I meet you. I am just not my best on blind dates. Haven’t you sometimes met someone for the first time and been a bit unsure how you felt? Has it ever taken you a few meetings to decide that person was your one and only? I wish someone would give me that kind of chance. Come spend some time with me. If you do, I think we will know if we are right for each other. First impressions are not the best to go on when you are choosing a lifelong companion. I feel that way, don’t you? And hey, who says shy is a bad thing? Some of the nicest cats and people are a little reserved at times.
So, if you like your cats orange and white, and if you are patient enough to get to know me, I think we could just be a match. I would love a house where there are other furry friends, but I could also be your one and only. My only request is that you don’t jump to conclusions the first time we meet. Give me a chance to show you my true colors as a loving and affectionate five-year-old guy with lots and lots of love to share. Yes, I am going to need time to decide if you are the one for me. But, after all, I wouldn’t go home with just anyone. Would you?
