A small black kitten was discovered tucked under a porch and wasted no time making it clear he wanted to be around people. A quick vet visit confirmed he was healthy, chip-free, and likely a stray, though the search for a possible owner is still ongoing. At only a few months old, he is full of energy, curiosity, and an impressive amount of affection.
Even with how quickly attachment sets in, there is a lot of care being taken to do the right thing. Lost-and-found pages are checked daily, and there is a conscious pause before fully claiming him as family. That balance between hope and responsibility can be tough, especially when a kitten is already curling up for pets and following every step around the house. Still, giving space for the chance of a reunion feels important.
The timing adds an emotional layer. His arrival comes not long after the loss of another beloved black cat, making the situation feel quietly meaningful without forcing it. Whether coincidence or comfort, the presence of a small, warm companion has already changed the tone of the home.
With cold weather outside and plenty of strays nearby, keeping him indoors feels like the safest option. He spends most of his time seeking attention, making photos difficult because hands are better used for petting. No matter what happens next, this little porch find has already brought warmth, softness, and a sense of connection back into everyday life.
