About Opossum

Opossum is a charming little guy with a heartwarming backstory. Growing up on the streets alongside his early companions, the possums, he learned resilience and social skills. Now, he’s traded that wild life for the comforts of indoors and is eager for a loving family to call his own. Having grown alongside his two littermates, including a golden retriever, Opossum is well-adjusted and enjoys the company of other animals. He thrives when he has a playmate around, particularly his brother Opie. While he can be adopted separately, a home with another furry friend would bring him joy, as he loves to explore, play, and snuggle. This sweet, social kitten is ready for a new adventure. He’s house trained and gets along perfectly with cats, dogs, and children. If you’re looking for a social companion, Opossum is waiting to meet you! Every animal deserves a happy ending.
