My first cat!

I am so excited to have adopted this wonderful cat. (see profile pic) I haven't named him yet; I'm really waiting to get to know him.  We are doing great. He was in a shelter for about 2 months and prior to that all we know was that he was a stray. 

When I'm sitting or lying down he is very affectionate, but when I get up to move around or come home from work he hides and it takes a long time for him to come out. 

Our first vet appointment is scheduled for a couple of weeks from now.

So far I’m thrilled with my decision to take this leap!

Congratulations on your new kitty and thank you for adopting him [emoji]10084[/emoji]️ He is very handsome!

How cute. You'll have to be sure to let us know what you name him! :nod:

I've named him Charlie after the book My Travels With Charlie. (But in the boom Charlie's was a dog.)

I LOVE orange cats, especially the males, and Charlie is a real looker! Congrats on your newest addition and welcome to the Cat Site!
