Oz is an adorable male kitten who was surrendered by his owner on September 30, 2025 along with several other kittens because the family had too many cats and was unable to give them the care that they so desperately needed.
Unfortunately five of the kittens passed away soon after being brought to our shelter. Thanks to the loving care of our HSOV Kennel Techs, Mammon survived in addition to seven of his siblings/housemates (Agent Two, Beelzebub, Millie, Loona, Mammon, Striker, and Verosika).
Oz has a buff short smooth coat in a tabby pattern, a small white patch on his chest, a long ringed tail, and a cute kitten face with golden eyes, a pink nose, and long white whiskers.
Oz was estimated to have been 6-weeks old when he entered our shelter and weighed 1.9 lbs. He was given vaccinations and Drontal wormer on October 18, 2025. Oz was given booster vaccines on November 6th and November 22nd 2025.
These photos were taken on January 10, 2026 when HSOV kennel techs Lauryn Hamilton, Madison Lee, and Hannah McClain assisted Oz and his housemates with their 'big boy/big girl' photos. Oz was a delight to photograph while he turned on his quiet charm and pussyfooted around our 'studio'. This sweet boy will give some lucky individual or family a lifetime of pleasure.
Oz will be neutered (tentative in February 2026) before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized).
