My Story
Oreo is a sweet and cuddly 4 year old cat looking for his forever home!If you're looking for a new feline best friend, Oreo is your guy! Oreo will follow you around like a dog, rolling around by your feet for belly rubs, pushing his head into your hand when he wants a head massage — His favorite thing in the whole wide world is attention! Oreo is very mellow, great at being handled and just adores people. He is almost always purring when he’s with his humans!Oreo has medium energy for an adult cat. He plays in 5-8 minute bursts for a total of 20-30 minutes per day. He is a great hunter and will bat around balls by himself, but loves hunting ribbons and the Cat Dancer wire toy.Oreo has FIV, which means he is immunocompromised. But that doesn’t mean he can’t live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. His day-to-day needs are the same as any other cat, but if he becomes sick it is important to get him medical attention early as he will not be able to fight it off on his own. FIV can only be spread between cats via fighting (deep bite wounds), pregnancy, or mating. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments.

He has no interest in going outside again, and is perfectly content with cuddles and wet food! With dry food he is more of a snacker but gets very excited when wet food comes out. From being a former outside cat, he has a few quirks, such as not knowing how to meow — he can only squeak! He is very quiet aside from a few squeaks to say hello or to let his humans know when it’s time for wet food.Oreo currently lives in a 2-bedroom apartment with three adults, and he has company for most of the day. His ideal home would be with multiple people who are around often and ready to shower Oreo with pets throughout the day. He would love it if his human works from home — you can expect to have him nap on your desk while you work.Looking for the perfect furry friend to brighten up your day? Oreo is your guy!— — — — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.
