My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please meet Otter! Otter is a handsome guy who came to the shelter when his former owner could no longer care for him. Otter is a senior guy now looking for another furrever home. One of the many advantages of adopting a senior cat is that you won`t have to spend much time training them. Adult cats have pretty much already developed their traits, but this does not mean that you can`t teach an older cat new tricks! Once comfortable, adult cats aren`t afraid to show you their genuine personalities. Otter is one of our Special Care pets meaning he needs a bit more love. Otter has no teeth left, so he will need to be on a wet food diet only for the rest of his life. If you have questions regarding this handsome fella, we encourage you to reach out to the Adoption Experience team during your onsite visit, or email us at adoption@anticruelty.org. If you are intrigued by Otter and have the time and patience to give this handsome guy, come on down to our River North location and meet with him today!
