My story

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

Hello all! This is Saffron and she came to us as a stray, so we do not know much about her past before she came to OCAS. As you may can tell, Saffron has some thinning fur along her back and her hind legs. She has been examined by our Veterinarian and it has been determined that this issue is likely due to stress from being in the shelter environment, so finding a perfect home is essential for her. Saffron is a sweet lady, but she can become overstimulated in certain situations and would do well in a home where she can adjust to a calm routine, with a family who can have some patience with her. We recommend letting Saffron open up to you in her own time and taking things slowly. We do not know how Saffron is with children, dogs or other cats so please keep this in mind. If you have any questions, ask to speak with staff.

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.
