My story

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

Oaxaca, adopted in May 2017 from Animal Care Centers of New York while being fostered in home by KittenBnB in Chelsea, NY (shelter name: Pear) is a 7 year old indoor cat that celebrates a birthday in February 2025. We have to rehome Oaxaca at the advice of my daughter's pulmonologist as her lungs are being compromised. Oaxaca will always come for butt scratches and enjoys hanging out on the back of your chair while you work at your desk or are on a Zoom call. He is very independent and entertains himself. His favorite is any small toy he can toss in the air with his mouth then bunny kick. Oaxaca enjoys glasses of ice water and burrowing under blankets. Oaxaca will roam the apartment after everyone is asleep to make sure were are safe before he settles down. He will never eat or beg for human food. He doesn't shed much and stands about 36-40 inches when on hind legs. He is bonded to his brother Agave and prefer they are rehomed together.
