About Ross

Ross’s journey began at a local water park in Oxford, where he and his siblings were born to a feral mother. Life outdoors posed many dangers for kittens, but luck smiled on them when they were safely captured. While mom was spayed and returned to her territory, Ross and his siblings were given a second chance. Placed in a nurturing foster home, Ross thrived with tons of affection and socialization. He blossomed from a feral kitten into a charming little love bug who enjoys human company. Having been around small children, he gets along wonderfully with them. Ross is a testament to how love can transform a life. He no longer has to avoid people outdoors; instead, he looks forward to cozy beds, engaging toys, and the warmth of a forever family. All he needs now is that special someone to fully transition from a water-park kitten to a pampered indoor cat. Could that someone be you?
