Oscar is a 14-year-old male cat, domestic short hair, orange and white (ID #A469006).

This handsome gentleman loves having his head and chin scratched and chatters quietly to encourage more petting! While not fond of being held, he does like cuddling with his humans. Oscar has been fostered with other cats and kittens and gets along with them fine as long as they are not aggressive; he also wasn’t a fan of the big dog in his foster home and would prefer a quiet, mellow place to hang out.

Oscar is front de-clawed and will need to be an indoor-only kitty. He also has some hindquarter issues and has been getting Cosequin mixed with canned food, which seems to help. He gets around fine and can be found lounging on windowsills and the backs of chairs and couches. Oscar is litter-box trained, neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped.
