Oscar finds cattery life hard but adores a home environment! In the cattery, he was worried and hid most of the time but is quite the opposite in a home - he's an affectionate, loving companion.
Oscar needs adopters who are ready to commit to him for the long term, as he finds change very distressing. His ideal home would be adult-only and very quiet, with no other pets. Oscar will need to start off in a spare room where he can settle in gradually. It’s important he’s not given access to the rest of the home until he’s confidently moving around the safe room with his new owner present — too much space too soon would set back his progress.
If you can offer Oscar the home he’s been waiting for, you’ll be giving a very special cat the second chance he truly deserves.
A word from his fosterer:
In the month Oscar has been with me on foster I found him to be very vocal from the start. He meowed when we met and then all the way home. He continues 'chatting' with me but has calmed down, mostly meowing when he cannot see me. When he goes away and explores a bit of the house he always comes back to tell me what he has found.
He kept close to me from the beginning not liking it when I shut him in but he has now allowed me a certain amount of freedom and trusts me when I go away that I will come back. He does get jealous of other cats he sees through the windows. He sometimes entertains himself when I'm busy by chasing toys around and bumping into any furniture that is in his way.
Although he is shy of people he does not know, if they spend some time relaxing and having a chat he does come up to them and allow them to stroke him especially when they have treats to give him.
He loves sleeping with me and is like a big teddy bear stretching and relaxing, he encourages me (by rolling over) and loves it when I rub his tummy.
