Oreo-Buddy

My story

Meet Oreo – The Sweet Survivor with a heart as big as his paws. Oreo is a big-hearted 5 year old bruiser with a past full of hardship and a spirit full of love. Life on the streets wasn’t kind to Oreo—he survived being hit by a car and even shot at (x-rays show tiny pellets in his rear leg). But despite it all, Oreo never lost his gentle soul. When rescued, Oreo didn’t know human touch—but he allowed his caregivers to treat him, medicate him, and even trim his nails without a single growl or hiss. His foster family says he's one of the calmest, most affectionate cats they’ve ever met. He adores cheek rubs and will lovingly nuzzle his meaty face against yours. And while he’s a big boy, Oreo chirps and meows like a kitten—but purrs like a truck! And yes, that’s a big heart-shaped marking on his left shoulder… proof that he truly wears his heart on his sleeve.   Oreo’s Ideal Home Oreo is looking for a peaceful, loving home where he can finally enjoy the comfort he’s missed out on for so long. He's initially cautious with new people (can you blame him?) but once he knows you're one of the "good guys", he'll greet you with all his affection. He’s great with other cats and is being introduced to a dog in his foster home. Whether you're a first-time cat adopter or a seasoned feline fan, Oreo will be a calm and loyal companion.  About FIV Oreo is FIV positive, but don’t let that worry you. Cats with FIV can live long, happy lives and can safely live with other cats, especially when properly introduced. Oreo requires no special medications or treatments—just regular vet care and a family to love him.  Learn more about FIV:   https://vbspca.com/what-you-should-know-when-adopting-an-fiv-positive-cat/#:~:text=The%20answer%20is%20no.%20Being%20FIV%2Dpositive%20means,Feline%20AIDS%20(Acquired%20Immunodeficiency%20Syndrome%20of%20Cats).  May 31, 2025, 10:26 pm
