My story

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

Hello world. My sister and I are ready to move on to a new adventure. We explore the world a bit differently than most but that is all we know and don`t let it get in our way. We are wobbly cats so we need a few special things to help us out but overall we are are just fun loving girls that love to play and snuggle.

Cats: yes
Dogs: they have never met one
Kids: they have neve met kids either
Special: They have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Their mom had panleukopenia before they were born which caused a defect in their brain. The result is wobbly kittens, similar to cerebral palsy in people. The condition is not painful and they can live full happy lives and just need a few things to help them. Carpeted areas are easier for them to get traction to move around. They would not do well with stairs so if there are stairs in the home they may do best with a baby gate to keep them from falling down the stairs. Using a low entry and high sided litter box helps them balance when going potty. As they get older they will not need low entry and may need higher sides than they do currently. For eating they can eat out of a normal bowl but for their canned food they do better with raised bowls as they get a little more over excited for the food. As they get taller they may benefit from raised bowls for all food and water.

Website notes: Updated animal data is sent to the website as frequently as possible. Be sure to refresh the adoption pages in your browser for the latest information. Profiles of available pets are displayed on the available for adoption pages (Dogs and Cats). All information we have concerning an animal’s temperament and health is included on their profile.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.

REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.

Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.

Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.

Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
