My story

- Very devoted to one confident, cat-savvy adult in his previous home and would follow them everywhere and sleep next to them in bed at night; looking for a similar cat-savvy person who understands cats and cat body language - Liked sitting on his person's lap or next to them when they were relaxing - Playful and moderately active; loved playing with a stuffed koi fish in his previous home, as well as balls, plush toys and catnip toys; also loved running the stairs and perching on his cat tree- Used horizontal scratching pads in his previous home - Can be a pretty rough player, and he and children tend to be too much for each other right now, so he's looking for a quiet home with just adults or possibly mature teenagers - Has lived with other cats, but was known to tussle with them on occasion- Could be rough with strangers entering his home This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 10.4 Age: 1yrs 7mths 1wks

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Oreo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
