But once a week had passed, Orion began realizing that this strange new place was his home now, and that all anyone wanted was to provide him with love, comfort and affection.
Once this dawned on Orion, the little senior's attitude completely transformed.
Orion felt intense gratitude for the lovely people who had taken him in when he was at his most vulnerable and needed love and support the most.
To show everyone just how much he appreciated gaining this second chance in life, he began cuddling every human and cat in sight.
According to Love Meow, his signature move for expressing his love is bonking his head up against the object of his affection.
Now, Orion feels safe and secure and can look forward to spending his golden years in perfect comfort.
He'll never have to feel alone or worried, as he's surrounded by people who love and care for him, and he'll forever be grateful for that.
