still looking for my orangie!

[sirrahbed]

I keep combing petfinders and visiting the local shelters. Today there was a sweet looking male orange so I wrote to them about him. He was found abandoned and starving so they have fattened him up. He was supposed to be at a local Petsmart but we just went and he was not there! The girl that does the adoptions said there had been no orange males at all. The other contact woman answered my email and said she will try to find more information on him and I will call the humane society tomorrow. He may be quite old - I am not sure - need to get more information. He is also declawed so I do not have to worry about THAT agony! Here is his photo from the shelter: I will let you know more as I find out if it will be a match!! His name is Sammy

PS Would he be a tabby or a calico?

[PayItForward]

Sammy sure is a sweetie. I hope you don't mind me posting his photo for everyone to see.


I would say he is an orange tuxedo kitty.

i.e. Orange with white chest and feet.

He is Not a Calico. Calico is a tortishell with white. i.e. Orange & Brown patches on white background.

Tabby have W marking on their forehead. I didn't think you got orange tabby cats ? But I could be wrong.

PS. I think adopting an already Declawed cat is great for your situation and good for him to get a second chance.

He sure is a sweet looking kitty. I hope that you can track him down.

Relly not good at the color markings, so anything that I said would only be a guess.

I hope you can adopt him and give him a life he needs!! Ill be praying !

[catcrazylady]

OH!! He is a cutie!!! If he is anything like most orangies than he should be a love muffin!! He is marked alot like Leroy. If his personality is anything like Leroy then you will be getting the most loving, and amusing kitty! Good luck in finding him and I hope his personality traits are what you are looking for. Doesn't he resemble your grandkitty? I forgot his name.

I knew you would not be able to hold out much longer!!

[Uabassoon]

He sure is a handsome boy I love orange kitties. I think the markings are called bicolor. I hope everything works out and you get to bring him home

YES, I immediately thought grandkitty Pickles and your Leroy! All three are very similar looking!! The description says he is very loving and affectionate. I mainly want to get an idea of his age and how he gets along with other cats. Why would someone abandon such a sweet animal long enough to almost starve? How did he survive without his claws?? I also wonder how he can be so sweet natured after being on his own. Somebody must have loved him and maybe he got loose?? Guess I will never know. They say his blood tests are all negative and he does not have worms at this time. Yesterday was adoption day so he may be gone - yet the main girl we know there at Petsmart is quite sure she has had no orange males but it is also possible the foster mom brought him in just for the day. The Humane Society coordinator has forwarded my e-mail to the foster mom so I will know more soon.

I'm excited!
I hope it turns out that he is friendly with other kitties. Keep us posted!!!!

What a cutie patootie. He does look alot like Leroy.
Hope you find out more about him and he is exactly what you are looking for.
Good luck.

He is a cutie.
I always thought it was a M on the tabby's foreheads. At least that's what Butterscotch and Thumpers look like to us. We thought it was neat nice our last name starts with M our kids were meant to be with us.

I decided to look up some specifics on tabbies and color markings and found this good write up that answered some of my questions including why some people call my Emily a "Jellicle"! It looks like Leroy, Pickles and Sammy would be considered orange (red) and white tabbies.

I would call him a creamsicle....and adorable!

[iloverat]

Sammy's definitely a cutie-pie. Good luck in finding yourself a new baby to adopt. I look forward to hearing about your adventure.

[catnapper]

Aww, looks like my Tiny III (passed over Rainbow Bridge some ten years ago) He sure was a nice boy, so any kitty that looks like him has to be nice too!

My orangie is a sweet, handsome devil and this one loks like that too!

Good luck!!!
