Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Oscar – Energetic, Vocal, Playful Orange Tabby Oscar survived a rough start. He was abandoned by my last tenant who left him outside. And there he had some brawls with street cats & got sick & hurt. He showed up on at our door on the edge of death. After a mini surgery, antibiotics & weeks of care, Oscar is healthy, active, and very affectionate. He’s playful, chatty, curious, and wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’s litter-trained, and ready for a home that loves orange tabby personalities. He's pretty goofy & I'd say he has that orange tabby personality for sure. He's about 2 we estimate & needs to be neutered. But, we have finished getting him back up to health & hope someone who is adopting him can take him to be neutered once he is adopted.

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This sweet, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He's made HUGE strides, and I know as an only pet he would blossom! He lets me give him kisses on his head now and being OK with getting picked up is what we are currently working on. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023, emaciated, and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a partial prescription diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.

Omar

American Shorthair

Male, Senior

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

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.
