Eric at five weeks old when his owners decided they didn’t want him. He is now a cheeky and very loveable two year old, with very orange eyes.-

How can someone not want him? He looks so cute there.
Ah marmalade you sleep such peaceful sweet forever home slumber
Oh, what a cutie, and he’s named after my husband! And has orange eyes just like my husband, too! ;->
*I won, they lost! Fuzz*
Eric’s former owners lost big time. Eric’s a real sweetie
Were those people crazy? They must have hearts of stone.
Just look at that little face… it’s LOVE all rolled up in a sweet little ginger kitten.
I know his forever family appreciates him.
We don’t know the reason they had to give up the kitty. Maybe they were heartless or maybe one was alergic or moved to a non pet apartment building or financialy could not afford to feed and pay for vet bills. We never know others problems.
Why wouldnt they want him - hello??? Well their loss is your gain - what a beautiful baby!! One of my babies is orange & white, but more white. He’s adorable !
I can hear him purring from here! How anyone could decide they didn’t want that adorable baby is beyond me. I have a feeling that if there was a “next picture” he’d have toppled over, sound asleep! Sweetie katkins!
Sweet sweet kitten. I’m glad Eric has a real home with good people. All they want is to be loved, and it’s so much fun to oblige them!
Aww…who couldn’t or wouldn’t want him!? What a cutie pie. Just wanna snuggle lil fuzzy kitteh!
He looks just like my 15 year old kitty,Redford, looked like when he was a kitten! What a bundle of love!
Love ginger kitties and Eric is adorable. Really reminds me of my Alfie who is going to be a year old in October. Did you say ‘cheeky’ is that mischievous? I think that is the nature of ginger kitties. They are very, very playful, I guess some people can’t handle it. Oh well, their loss. They should all be with people that love them, they deserve nothing less. :))
Such a sweet face! You are lucky to have such a cutie ..
I’ve never had the honor of being owned by a ginger kitteh, but I did get to foster a bottle baby once… they do have a different take on catlife than most other cats. If there’s trouble, they’ll find it and be right in the middle of it, but they’ll always make you smile.
What kind of stiff *wouldn’t want* that innocent, precious little baby? He’s so beautiful and I just know he’s happy and content in his forever home. Love him always!
Probably those who missed their mothers warm cuddle in first days of infancy. It is not their fault. they missed the warmth and the cosiness of mother nature. anjum
awww he looks just like my Taffy did. Taffy had four white paws and of course, the half tail but the same bib and sweet face hiding the most devious mind!!! If Taffy couldn’t find trouble he would create it. Poor Domino would be sleeping peacefully and Taffy would grab his tail and take a nip I think it might of been tail envy.
Awww, I wanna kiss his lil’ pink nose.
Eric reminds me of my London, who passed away in May 05.
Nighty-nite lil guy.
To err is human, but
ERR-IC IS DIVINE FUZZ
Awwww he looks like the kitty I had when I was a little girl. His name was Sunny and he loved to take walks with you around the neighborhood. I know Eric is a big boy now, but kiss his pink nose and rub his belly for me!
Eric is a beautiful baby! Many hugs to him.
I dream of the day I can get an orange and white kitty so I can name him “Flake”. I dreamed of him a while back and await his coming into my life. Am I crazy?
Not crazy at all. A few years back a young man that I knew had a dream about having a white kitten with black spots that he would name “Waffles.” It was about a year later that a friend adopted a pregnant stray cat. When the cat had kittens one was white with black spots. This former young man is now married with a child and Waffles is with him still!
*Right where i’m supposed to be FUZZZZzzzzzzz*
Adorable snuggle-bunnie! How could anyone not want him??
I’ve never seen a sweeter looking picture! He looks so loveable! So happy to be in someone’s arms! Love it!

Who wouldn’t want that beautiful orange baby? People are so weird sometimes.
My niece is getting a companion kitty for her Gizmo this weekend, I can’t wait to go and play with all the kitties, but I’ll be sure not to take one home.
oh my - another angel baby…they are all beautiful angel babies….
Dreaming away. Guess his dreams came true now that he has had a loving home of 2 years!
What a cute little guy awwww……
how could someone not want this beautiful kitty?!!!???!!!?!! man, he’s gorgeous! glad you have him now and appreciate him!
Eric is a doll! Red (or Ginger) kitties are “special.” My red classic boy, Booger, is the sweetest, snuggliest kitty I have….but he’s also a stinker! When he wants attention — usually about 4:00 a.m. — he’ll knock something off the nightstand, or bat around a drapery cord right while perched on the bed rail right above our heads. If that doesn’t work, he’ll wedge in between our pillows and purr like hell! He MUST be petted! I’m betting Eric will give you as much love as our Booger gives us…AND…receive it, too!
Where’s Dee from Tampa? I’ve missed her the last few days…hope everything is O.K. Dee — are you out there?
*Lights out FUZZ*
While the abandonment at five weeks by the original owners is horrible, I’m sad to say it doesn’t suprise me. There is no shortage of cruel, stupid people in this world.
ok whos is ready to sob like a baby? I just bought chicken soup for the cat lovers soul…..there is a story about a lady who took in three strays and the little girl died, and the other kitty brought the lady flowers for three months…………..it killed me….. How sweet for a fuzz to know how to melt you like butter eh?
i can’t understand not wanting that sweet baby
finders, keepers
losers, weepers
their loss is your gain
he looks like he is going to fall asleep as soon as the camera is off of him.
kristen, hope all is well with you and the kitties?
Eric is a beautiful little ball of fur…..
and in response and agreement to someone who posted earllier, we don’t know why the former owners gave him up so we shouldn’t judge them……
and to brandi Lee….where in Md. are you?
Eric, you are were you are meant to be. Safe at home, to be loved forever!
Glad he now has a good home. How could they not want him, he has such a sweet, beautiful face.
What a beautiful kitten! I just LOOOOOVE the orange tabby boys. There’s something so sweet and nice about their little personalities. He’s going to be a great friend to you!
A little story about my orange boy, Stewart. Last night, I was busy filling a large necklace order…. didn’t have time to play “cat fishing” with the pole….. Our kitten, Oscar (July5), wanted to play. Stewart grabbed the pole in his teeth and dragged it back and forth across the floor for Oscar to play with. What a great friend he is!
Again, I just love the orange tabby cats. They’re the best!
How sweet why can’t human children be that nice to their siblings! Glad you have to sweet ones.
How could anybody not want this adorable little sweetie? I pray they all get loving homes, as Eric did. May the Lord bless and protect you and this baby always.
how could anyone not love this adorable lil guy?! sigh…blesss you for rescuing him and i hope you have him furrever. he’s a beauty! and he looks so peaceful despite what he went thru.
Sweet Eric looks like Misha as a baby. We agree with everyone else — who wouldn’t want this adorable baby. Who would ever let him go. Darling kitty.
Awww. He’s darling! His bone structure seems small–but then he IS only 5 weeks. Duh. No, he might be a rather petite male when he’s “growed”. But he exudes this quiet and calm ‘i love my humans’. Have Fun!
Eric the Red Fuzz! He is adorable and glad that he has a good home and people who love him. He’ll bring many years of happiness to you.
maybe the previous owners already had five cats…there are plenty of reasons to give a kitten away. maybe they were sad to see him go..don’t judge people until you know the situation!
What a sweet little man! He appears quite content!!! Enjoy.
Orange Fuzz Power Nap!
Eric is a good name for a kitten. He’s precious!
dream a little dream of me! fuzz
he is soooooooooooooo cute
he is soooooooooooooo cute
i know
What a cute baby he is. Our Sammy is like him, only no white on his face and he is getting more brown than red. Really different. Kudos for you for letting him adopt you..
awwww what a sweetie! Who could resist such an lovebug!?
Just giving you all an up date on Eric. I can’t believe he is “babe” of the day !!! (september 21st). I didn’t even know if I had done it right.
He is currently curled up on my pillow, gently purring. When I go to check on him, he stretches and roles over for his tummy tickling, ready to grab my hands and nibble me!!
We have conversations too as he is very chatty, my husband thinks I am mad speaking to a cat. Why not? Eric answers me back!! I was cleaning the coal fire out yesterday and unbeknown to me, he had been for a nosey and had soot on his paws, he then jumped onto my back and laid there till I had done, revealing pretty paw prints on my top. Bless !!
eric is really a cutie.his owners missed out big TIME!
Awwwwww… hes soooo cute!
