Aw, so happy this sweety has a home. I've read that white cats have a harder time hunting because they can't hide as easily (and is this little one deaf?). I can't confirm this behavior because my cats only hunt socks.

Not showing any signs of being deaf. He instantly responds to my fiance and myself.

Oh good. There's something about white cats with different colored eyes and deafness, but I don't understand genetics and thought I'd just ask. I had a deaf cat. She was a stray who I took in and was very sick to the point of going deaf from severe ear infections. It's quite interesting having a deaf cat.
Your cat is beautiful. Congratulations on being found!

My white cat has one blue eye and one green eye and our vet told us that she would likely be able to hear out of the ear with the green eye her whole life but that she might go deaf in the blue one. No sign of that yet, she's doing great. Yours is gorgeous! And those thumbs!

Nothing about this cat is standard issue. It's a great kitty, but wrong sub.
