Oscar is a small, male domestic short hair kitten. He is playful and sweet, showing a fondness for toys and companionship with other calm animals. Though he isn’t yet altered, he has been litter box trained and is expected to adapt well to families and other pets.

About Oscar

Oscar is a delightful male kitten who arrived at the shelter with his brother Felix when they were just four weeks old. Initially struggling with health issues, Oscar quickly bounced back thanks to proper care. As his coat started to grow back, it revealed a unique gray hue, which many find charming; there’s a good chance it may transition to black as he matures. He gets along well with my calm adult cat and has adjusted comfortably around dogs, despite being a bit shy at first. This playful little guy loves his toys, especially ball towers and track balls, and is often found enjoying playful sessions with Felix. Oscar would thrive in a home with or without another pet; he’s also been well-litter trained. While he hasn’t been around kids, his gentle nature and love for being held suggest he’d adapt nicely into a family environment. After a good romp, you can find him snoozing on a lap or finding a cozy spot to relax solo. Make Oscar your new furry companion; he’s ready to bring joy to your home!
