My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Orange! A Loving Soul Looking for the Right Home

Orange is a 5-year-old, gentle boy with a loving, happy, innocent nature. He’s searching for a forever home where he can be loved and cared for in a calm, safe environment. Due to his unique health needs and behaviors, we’re looking for an adopter who is prepared to give him the special care he deserves.

Health Considerations: Orange has a few health conditions that require consistent care. He’s being treated for megaesophagus and is on a special, raw food diet to support his health. Orange cannot be vaccinated due to a past adverse reaction, so he will need to stay on a holistic, immune-supportive regimen for the rest of his life.
Behavior: Orange does spray, but with patience and diligence, this can often be minimized or even stopped completely if stress is minimized. It's probably best if he's the only cat in the home, as he can feel threatened by other cats. If adopted with his sweet, smaller and just as loving brother (who also sprays), it's possible the both of them would stop spraying as they would no longer be under threat of the dominant cats. It is difficult to determine what the outcome would be so we would always reserve a space in the sanctuary for one or both of them to return.

Orange loves people! He'll pur if you just make eye contact with him. He enjoys spending time with gentle adult humans, gentle cats and gentle dogs but is afraid of loud noises and kids. He’s a big softie who prefers a peaceful home.

Requirements for His Care:

3 Luckydog-approved raw meals per day, with detox supplements and raw meaty bones for dental health.
A fragrance-free, clean, bleach-free, clutter-free home (to make cleaning easier and reduce stress).
Daily brushing and plenty of love
Special care and meds at mealtimes to ensure the food gets into his stomach


Because of his health conditions, Orange will need to be placed as a long-term foster or co-owned cat. We will need to ensure his health insurance remains active and that he gets the care he needs throughout his life. For his insurance to remain in effect, he will have to remain in the 92037 zip code.

Orange is a sweet, loving cat who simply needs the right environment. He’ll thrive in a quiet, fragrance-free home where he’s the center of attention. While his needs are specific, we believe there’s someone out there who can give him the chance to live his best life.

If you want to be his hero but aren't able to provid him a home, please consider sponsoring him just email us and we will send you a link to make a weekly donation via any credit or debit card or paypal


If you think you could be the perfect fit for Orange, please reach out. We know this is a big ask, but we’re hopeful that the right home might be out there. If you can't have him in your home consider applying to volunteer and fundraise for Luckydog so you can help Orange and his friends live their best life. Thank you for considering giving this sweet boy the chance he deserves!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If we have an adoptable pet you are interested in, please message us with some details about your home/family and request an application. Please allow 5 days for a response and if you don't get one, please email again.
If you're interested in helping us keep special needs pets alive and well, please arrange a recurring weekly or monthly donation at LJK9.com Even $5/week helps a lot. Thank You.

If you wish to adopt a single kitten, please note this. Kittens who have no other kittens to grow up with can be too rough as they grow larger and don't realize their increasing strength. Humans can communicate with cats, but fall short of what other cats can teach. Single kitten syndrome is a major factor in cats being given up to shelters so please do your part in preventing this by refusing to adopt a single kitten under 12 wks of age.

Prior to applying for a pet from any rescue, Please watch The Truth About Pet Cancer (linked below) to learn about common products linked to cancer. No doumentary is perfectly unbiased, so please ignore the unsubstantiated, biased claims and those based on single events. Please pay close attention to the parts backed by convincing evidence.

Please also note that Luckydog is generally against the use of essential oils in homes with pets. Many vets recommend them because they have some beneficial effects in some pets but nobody has propertly studied the long-term effects of exposure to these oils. Even undetectable vapors from EOs can be deadly. A pet owner may not realize a pet's been exposed and that pet may go on to be diagnosed with non-specific liver or kidney disease, for example, or seizures. The problem may never be linked to the EOs in the home. I'm yet to see a veterinary laboratory order form that offers a test for EO toxicity. The only way we find out a pet's been injured by EO's is usually when they've been acutely poisoned (exposed to large amounts in a short period of time) and get extremely ill. We recommend avoiding most fragrances and EO's in a home with pets.


Luckydog is big on promoting natural, holistic, and integrative health-optimization-protocols and wil like to help you keep your pet healthy after adoption (or while being fostered). Our experts scrutinize information gathered from thousands of medical journal entries and hundreds of experts rather than simply regurgitating the opinions of a single expert or community.

What Luckydog does isn't easy but we hope that it makes pet care easy for our followers. Luckydog's goal is to ensure you have no regrets on the day that you say "goodbye" to your furkid and that that day doesn't come any sooner than it has to. With that in mind, please enjoy this video series then come to our website (a work in progress) for more information. LJK9.com is our website.
