Mandarin is a stunning orange boy whose still learning to trust. One minute, he’s cautiously watching you from across the room… and the next, he’s in your lap, purring like he’s known you forever.

He’s a work in progress – and that’s part of his charm. Mandarin wavers between nervous and needy, and while he’s still figuring people out. What he has shown is a gentle, submissive nature, especially around other cats. He gets along beautifully with feline friends and would likely thrive in a calm home with another laid-back cat to help show him the ropes

If you’ve got a little patience and a lot of love, Mandarin might just crawl into your lap—and your heart—for good.
