Hi! I'm O.W. I am one of 40 cats taken in from a hoarding house. I lived in the basement with 6 other cats—never seeing daylight, or even a window before. I pretty much had nothing—not even a bed to lay in. And now I get to explore the whole shelter, jumping up by the windows to watch the birdies! And you know what else? There's a water fountain at the shelter ... and I LOVE it! There is usually a line of kitties waiting to grab a drink, and that's because I'm the one taking my sweet time with my turn.
I have so much more now at the shelter than I did before, but that doesn't mean I don't still deserve *my* forever home. I may not want to cuddle or be a lap kitty, but I would love to spend my days in a home of my own, with a window or two and some spaces to explore. And maybe one more thing ... How about a water fountain?
Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
