My story

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

Meet Oscar!

A gentle fourteen-year-old orange tabby Domestic Short Hair from Amherst, MA, who is the very definition of a low-key, loveable companion. With his sleek, sunny coat and large, cuddly frame, Oscar’s days are delightfully simple—he naps, begs for his favorite treats, and meows just to remind you that he's ready for some affection. His greatest joy? Following his favorite person from room to room, always on the lookout for a cozy snuggle!

Though Oscar is in his golden years, he's in great health, fully up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, declawed, and microchipped. At twenty-two pounds, he's a large, huggable fellow who enjoys the quiet life. If you're looking for a peaceful companion, Oscar is your guy! He’s perfectly content spending most of his time lounging in his cat bed, but he does perk up for some playful moments with his flier bird toy or to greet you when it’s time for dinner. He's a chatty kitty, particularly around mealtime, letting you know exactly when it's time to eat—just in case you forget!

Oscar has lived harmoniously with other cats in the past, though he can be a little timid at first. His ideal new home would be one without small children or dogs, as he tends to prefer a calmer environment where he can be the king of the castle. While he's sweet and affectionate, Oscar values his personal space, especially when it comes to unwanted touching or food delays, which might lead to a gentle nip if he’s feeling a bit overwhelmed. It’s all part of his charm—he's a senior cat who knows what he likes and isn't afraid to tell you!

If you’re looking for a calm, easy-going feline friend who will bring warmth and companionship into your home, Oscar might be the perfect match. Could you be the new pet parent this charming tabby is looking for?
