My foster writes: Orion is a gentle, shy little gentleman with a big heart. He may be a bit hesitant at first, but with a little patience and his bonded sister by his side, he quickly blossoms into a loving and devoted companion. Once he feels safe, Orion becomes your loyal shadow He will follow you from room to room, chat with you, and keep up with his daily "patrol" of the home.
He enjoys affection on his terms and loves relaxing with you on the couch or bed. Calm, sweet, and quietly affectionate. Orion would thrive in a peaceful home where he can continue to build confidence and show his true, loving personality. He shares a special bond with his sister Caramelo and would love to find a home where they can stay together.

My Foster writes: If you're looking for a sweet, big boy who loves pets, look no further. Orion is the sweetest boy who seeks out pets and then purrs like a machine. He has some tabby stripes but he also has some spots that look like a cow's. So sometimes I call him Cowboy. He loves to play with toys, tossing them around and then running after them.

My Foster Writes:
Orion is a big mellow boy who needs a quiet home to show his big, goofy self. He is curious and brave in inspecting his surroundings. He uses his scratching post like a champ and loves to eat.

What my friends at ACC say about me:
Orion was on top of the Kuranda bed, a bit hunched and appearing slightly apprehensive with fairly large pupils and giving occasional lip licks. He slightly sniffed the treats and then allowed petting on his cheek and head along his back while remaining slightly wary. He also gave slow blinks while remaining in place.

Orion interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
