Meet Lucky, a handsome ginger boy whose name couldn't be more fitting.

When Lucky was just a tiny kitten, he was found sitting on the curb beneath an underpass in Jordan, dangerously close to traffic. By pure chance, his foster happened to be called into work that day to cover for a sick colleague. Had it not been for that unexpected change in plans, Lucky may never have made it off that curb. His incredible rescue is exactly how he earned his name.

Today, Lucky has grown into an affectionate, playful companion who loves being close to his people. Pick him up, and he'll reward you with sweet little nose kisses. Whenever his foster walks by, Lucky reaches out with his paw, asking for pets and chin or ear scratches. When it's time to relax, he's happiest curled up beside his favorite human on the couch or in bed, simply enjoying the company.

Lucky is also a playful boy who has never met a toy he didn't love. Bouncy balls, wand toys, strings, spinners-you name it, and Lucky is ready to chase, pounce, and entertain himself for hours.

Having lived with other foster cats in both Jordan and the US, Lucky gets along well with feline companions after a proper introduction and adjustment period. He has never been around dogs or young children, so a quieter home without them would likely be the best fit.

Lucky is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, current on preventatives, microchipped, and negative for FeLV/FIV. He's ready to leave his difficult beginnings behind and find the loving forever home he has always deserved.

The adoption fee for this cat is $200.
