My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Omar and don't let the picture fool you. His is a pretty big boy and weighs close to 20 lbs. We adopted him from a stray cat shelter in Baltimore. Born and raised in the mean streets of West Baltimore, Omar is named after the iconic character from "The Wire". He survived 6-7 years in one of the roughest part of the city before being given to a shelter where we adopted him. He is a great companion and loves to sit right next to you as you watch TV. Omar isn't really much of a lap cat but will definite try to sit right in between you and a family member on the couch during a movie. He is great around kids and will never bite or scratch them or you. He also gets along fine with other cats but is also fine if he is the only pet. Having spent all those years in the hood, Omar has no interest in going back outside so you wont have to worry about him running outside if you leave the door open too long.
