My personality

My story

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

Meet Otis! Otis is a 6-year-old neutered domestic long hair. He is front declawed by a previous owner. Although he doesn't tend to overeat, this chunky guy could definitely stand to lose a few pounds. Some of his favorite ways to spend the day are relaxing in the sun, looking out the window, and cuddling with his human companions. However, Otis also does enjoy playing and chasing around wand toys and could use a family that will help him get his daily exercise in. Otis is a very cleanly cat and polite about being brushed, which is very helpful when caring for his beautiful long coat. Otis would probably prefer to be an only cat but is very friendly with all humans he meets and will instantly become your best friend if you give him cheek rubs. Otis is an all-around sweet boy with all the love to give to his forever family.

All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption.
