As soon as Ripley saw us, he knew we were his family.

Had quite a bad URI when we adopted him. Trying to keep him warm on the way home. Pardon the partial selfie.

Most expensive heating pad ever. Didn't have the heart to move him.

Doing a tad better but still quite sick. Here my wife is on the way to the vet.

My wife was on the way back from the vet after he got a shot of steroids and antibiotics. She turned on the defrost for him and he was determined to sit where it was warmest.

After much recouping, he now eats on his own and plays hard. Here he is in one of his go-to spots.

He's loving the windows more.

Mlem.

Doing his best impression of Samus Aran in her morph ball.

He decided this is his favorite pillow...

until he lied down on this one.

Being sneaky

Keeping me company and my feet warm while I work at home.

He didn't take his eyes off us when we walked into the room. Upon taking him from the kennel at the animal shelter, an exceptionally nice volunteer slipped us $10 for the NutriCal when he learned we were adopting such a sick kitten and then recommended an excellent vet. Going on 4 months old now, he's happy, healthy, and is doing all the awesome stuff cats love to do. Ripley has been an awesome addition to our family, and I'm glad we could share him with you, Imgur. Have an awesome day.

aww

Is he talented?

Way to go, @OP. So great to see him back to full alert and ready to play. What an awesome little buddy you have now.

He probably didn’t come with a brain cell. Don’t worry- that’s normal for orange cats. (I’m a foster. :D)

He's adorable. You need a cat carrier tho. Kinda dangerous to let an animal walk around your car while driving.

I have a deaf dog and adopted a previously very sick kitten. Both of them are gigantic assholes... Still love them with all my heart though.

As I sit on the shitter, I have two around my legs wanting attention. I've just sat with them for an hour beforehand.
