My story

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

Hello world,
My name is Billy, but my alter ego is the Flash.
I am full of energy and love to run and jump around. I purr on contact. I was rescued from outside because I was limping. The rescue found out I had a broken foot and then quickly learned I had another problem. I was born with an abnormality effecting my defecation. I am on meds and a special diet to help with most of that but may still need a bit of extra care beyond that. My favorite activities are running and playing. My favorite toy is anything that seems like it could be a toy. I have learned to play with other kittens to help release some of my pent up energy. I was scared of them at first but now I realize they like to play as much as I do. Do you have a home that is fun and the patience to deal with my special potty issue?

Cats: Yes
Dogs: Unknown
Kids: Older due to special needs
Medical: Billy has megacolon as well as an anal sphincter issue. He poops like normal while on motility meds but he can`t pinch the poop off properly so it tends to fall off after he leaves the litter box. This is due to his hole being lower than normal. He has also occasionally pooped a little nugget while sleeping. We aren`t sure he need diapers but may just needs special potty routine where he is kept in a kennel for a few minutes after using the litter box to allow is body to finish the job in a easily cleaned space. We let him run around our office or in a room with other cats and he has no accidents. It mostly occurs just after using the litter box.

Website notes: Updated animal data is sent to the website as frequently as possible. Be sure to refresh the adoption pages in your browser for the latest information. Profiles of available pets are displayed on the available for adoption pages (Dogs and Cats). All information we have concerning an animal’s temperament and health is included on their profile.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.

REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.

Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.

Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.

Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
