11-year-old desperately wants an orange cat after his crossed the rainbow bridge, his parent's finally give him an orange boy from a shelter and the family was never happier

Look at those ears!

Who wouldn't want an orange cat? They're just like gingers in real life, they're spunky and fiery and interesting. So this 11-year-old boy used to have an orange cat, but the cat crossed the rainbow bridge 7 years ago. He's been begging his parent's to get him another one for so long, but they had other responsibilities, other cats, and the timing just didn't feel right. Now, they decided it's time. And when it's time it's time! Timing is everything. So they go to their local shelter with the 11-year-old and his 6-year-old younger brother. They spot an orange cat there, and the shelter workers say that this one is skittish with people, but they let the boys sit in the room with the cat in case things work out. And lo and behold, the cat warms up to them immediately! It takes no time at all and the cat is rubbing his face on their hands and purring in their laps. Needless to say, they came home that day happier than ever, and with their family just a tiny bit bigger than before.

I've always wanted an orange cat as well. I have red hair, and I just always thought it'd be so cute if I had an orange cat to match me. I used to have a golden retriever, and we did look pretty similar. It was so fun to go on hikes together, and people would always comment on how alike we looked, how we were both so golden and red in the sunlight. It would be even more fun to have an orange cat join the gang! But alas, I don't have the golden retriever anymore because my ex has him now. And for some reason when I was picking out cats that were being fostered I completely forgot I wanted an orange cat! I went for a bigger male stripped boy. I can't regret my decision, because I love my cat more than anything. But it would've been nice to have an orange cat. Enjoy this super wholesome story about a family where the timing simply worked out.
