South Carolina Woman Keeps Finding Abandoned Orange Cats Wherever She Goes
Every cat parent has a unique story about how they met their feline friend, some heartwarming, others downright hilarious.
But one woman’s experience has left the internet convinced that fate, or perhaps a mysterious orange cat energy, keeps leading stray ginger kitties right to her door.
It all began a few years back when the woman rescued a tiny orange kitten named Nala. She found her outside a busy restaurant, trembling and meowing for help.
The kitten couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old, yet from the moment their eyes met, the two formed an instant, unbreakable bond.
“She’s my soul cat,” the woman explained, and anyone who has ever shared a deep connection with a pet knows exactly what she means.
Little did she know that Nala’s rescue would be just the beginning of something extraordinary.
The Orange Cat Encounters Continue
Not long after, another orange cat entered her life, a beautiful white-and-ginger boy named Peach.
Peach’s previous family had surrendered him to a shelter, claiming he was “too aggressive.” But once in her care, Peach turned out to be gentle and affectionate, proving he simply needed love and patience.
Then came Buttercup, a plump ginger boy she stumbled upon near a South Carolina train station. Buttercup approached her with trust in his eyes, as if sensing she was the person who could help.
Though she couldn’t take him home herself, she made sure he found safety. Now, kind Amtrak workers at the station lovingly look after him.
And just when she thought the streak might be over, Bobby appeared. He’d been left outdoors after his elderly owner moved into assisted living. Naturally, she couldn’t walk away. She found him a caring foster family, where he now thrives.
When she shared her story on TikTok, it didn’t take long for people to notice a pattern, and give her a nickname.
One user commented,
“Wow you’re the orange cat magnet lol. God bless you for saving these sweet kitties.”
Another playfully dubbed her “You’re the orange cat distribution destination,“ a phrase that’s now stuck with her online community.
Her story quickly gained attention, with people celebrating both her kindness and the uncanny way orange cats seem to find her wherever she goes.
As it turns out, the theme continues even at home. When she met her husband, he already had his own orange cat named Diggle, the very cat who turned her into a cat person in the first place.
Now, Nala and Diggle are inseparable, mirroring their humans’ love story. It seems that destiny brought all four of them together, one orange cat at a time.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want to be an orange kitty magnet? For this woman, it’s not just coincidence, it’s a calling.
