I was the cutest of my litter. I was the smartest too. Everyone said, "He's so cute; he'll be snapped up in a minute. And then they adopted somebody else.

I'm not complaining. I'm glad they found wonderful homes. But it took me two years to find that home my foster mom promised me. I looked around at all the cute kittens who come and go, and I wondered, "What happened?"

.Then I got adopted to the perfect family. My brother Blinken and I--we had the perfect home. But tragedy struck, and they had to return me. Now here I am again, looking for another perfect home.

.

Are you out there, my perfect family? I need to know you're there and are coming for me. I's so personable, so outgoing, so funny and cute and happy. But I really want to be in a home of my own again.

I'm a marmalade Tom, a freckle-faced red-head with smarts and looks and I'm chock full of personality. My foster mom says I'm inquisitive--my foster dad says I "get into everything," but the truth is, I want to know EXACTLY how things work.

.

.I love to chase my foster friends. I'm cheerful and playful and cute, cute, cute.

.

.I invent my own games, I supervise everything, I scream out for my people or for my friends. I'm just an in-your-face kind of cat. I'm on everything, in everything, and I eat everything!

.

.My favorite game is to play catch. I'm not so good at throwing the ball back, but I'm really, really good at catching. I catch furry mice, soft toys, felt balls. I love the Cat Dancer toy. That's super cool. I also love my furry bird on a stick. I play and play and then have to grab it and drag it off to my lair. Oh, and I love, love, love to play with the laser pointer.

.

.Are you looking for a beloved fur friend like me? I like nothing more than to curl up in the crook of your arm when you're watching TV or lie on the bed next to you.

.

.I'm ready for a forever family, with or without other cats, but definitely with someone who can appreciate that love can come in an orange fur coat. And you don't have to be a kitten to find a wonderful, loving home.
