About Oak

Meet Oak and Willow! These two delightful sisters have been inseparable since they were just a few days old. They arrived at the center with their mama earlier this year and spent much of their early lives in loving foster care. Now, they’re eager to find their forever family. Born on April 14, 2026, Oak is the stunning all-gray sister and the little ringleader, often leading Willow into playful mischief. Willow, on the other hand, sports pretty stripes and adores perching on shoulders. Her fluffy tail resembles that of a raccoon! It's important to note that Willow had a rough start with a respiratory infection, which has resulted in some lasting lung changes. Though her follow-up radiographs show improvement, she occasionally has a little cough. We want to be clear about her medical history to ensure her future family is fully informed. If you've been considering adopting two kittens, Oak and Willow are ready for you. With their affectionate nature and playful antics, they deserve a loving home where they can continue their journey together. Think you could be their forever family?
