The first thing that Orangutan learned about the world was to hide. Someone abandoned her mama and the kitten. That someone must have known how little chance the helpless family had of surviving. Someone didn’t care. But Mama cared. She tried to help Orangutan survive. Mama’s brutal experiences had taught her that staying unnoticed was essential for staying alive.

Mama learned to hide so well that the kind people trying to help her couldn’t catch her. But they caught tiny Orangutan. At the shelter, people have been persuading the eight-week-old bit of golden fluff that the world and most people like kittens.

The baby girl is still skittish, but she’s risking approaching people. Orangutan deserves to have her courage and faith rewarded with a home.
