My story

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

Hi, I’m Oreo! I’m a 9-month-old black and white kitten, and I’m looking for someone to love. Right now, I’m staying at the shelter. It’s not the worst place, but it’s not exactly home either. There are a lot of other cats here, and while it’s nice to have company, sometimes I wish I could just find one special person to call my own. Someone who’ll be patient and gentle, someone who’ll let me come out of my shell at my own pace. But here's the thing: if you’re kind and patient with me, I promise I’ll warm up. I’m not always shy. Once I feel comfortable with you, I’m a total love bug. You’ll see me start to come out of my shell, and when I do, you won’t believe how sweet I can be! I love to curl up next to you, purring softly, and just enjoy being close. If you’re sitting down, I’ll come over and hop in your lap. I might even nuzzle up to you like I’ve known you forever. And trust me, once I’m comfortable, you won’t get a moment of peace—I’ll always want to be near you! Other cats? I’m fine with them. I’ve lived with a few others here at the shelter, and I’m respectful of their space. Sometimes, we’ll have a little chat or chase each other around, but I’m not the type to start trouble. I just like to keep things peaceful and calm. I’m not sure about dogs yet, but if you have one, I think I could learn to get along with them—if they’re gentle, too.
I might be shy, but I promise I have so much love to give once I know I’m safe. All I need is the right person to take a chance on me. Someone who will let me take my time to get used to them, who will give me space when I need it and cuddle me when I’m ready. I may not be the first kitten to jump in your face or pounce on your lap, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal friend forever.
If you think you could be that person, I’d love to meet you. I’m waiting right here, hoping one day I’ll get to call you my family. Will you be the one to bring me home?
