Oreo Mcflurry
I'm not sure what my name means, but I've been told it is a delicious treat. When you are a stray cat, you have no choice in what you are called. But this name sure beats Smelly McBelly or Ritchie McTwitchy. I am 13-years-old, and weigh 13.5 lbs. I have a handsome white and black short-haired coat. When I arrived at the HSHC, I looked a little worse for wear. Again, the life of a stray is a struggle to find food, shelter, and a safe place to sleep. It's no wonder that my blood tests revealed I am positive for the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+). FIV is a virus found only in cats that can lower a cat's immune system. I can live a long, happy life [even with FIV-negative cats] with regular vet visits and a healthy diet. I'm not too worried about this; I'm a tough cookie! I had an upper respiratory infection, an eye infection, and small healing wounds behind my left ear and on my right front leg-all taken care of. I was already neutered, which means that someone saw to this procedure in my past. That is likely why I am a friendly guy. I've had a caring human being in my former life. Because I'm familiar with living outdoors, I will probably be happiest if my new owner allows me some supervised time outside, as well as a comfy place to stay indoors. The HSHC staff will provide you with information on how to teach me to be an indoor/outdoor kitty. When the interviewer lady (IL) came to my Roaming Room to ask me about my life, I welcomed her and was confident enough to let her pet me all over. She was quite enthusiastic, and I let her know when I'd had enough attention with a little swat. I have my limits on how many ear rubs and chin scratches I can handle. The lady who found me thinks I am a sweetheart and is hoping someone meets with me and agrees with her. I can have my bags packed in two shakes of my tail. 7-29-26

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
