Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Enthusiastic, Loving, Playful

There's a gray and white bundle of sweetness who wants to meet you - say hello to Osso Bucco! This friendly kitten will be the first to greet you when you come home at the end of the day, offering never-ending purrs and good cheer. He is always ready to keep you company and will seek you out, happily cuddling up next to you once he finds you. When it's time for bed, he'll sleep with you, making bedtime extra cozy!

Osso is not only a lovebug, he's also a high-energy, play machine! He absolutely loves playing with the other cat in his foster home and he is enchanted by the family dog - gleefully bounding up to her, pouncing on her fluffy tail and regularly napping by her side or on her foot! He is fearless and takes no notice of their substantial size difference. Seeing them together may just be the cutest sight you will ever behold!

Osso loves any and all toys. But, if he had to pick his very favorite, it would be wand toys. He is also drawn to unsuspecting feet and fingers, sometimes mistaking them for prey and playfully attacking them. He is in the process of learning the difference between toys and vulnerable body parts with the help of his foster and his foster cat buddy!

Osso has spent time with a 7-year-old and 12-year-old and was very affectionate and playful with them. He just loves people and actively seeks out the company of humans, cats and dogs for playtime and napping together. He forlornly cried when he was initially separated from the other cat in his foster home as if to say "Bring back my playmate, pleeease!" Osso does not like to be alone.

Osso is such a social, affectionate kitty. His ideal home would include another cat and/or dog to keep him company and to provide an outlet for his zestful nature. He would fall head over paws for humans who give him lots of attention and who would like a soft, furry friend to cuddle up with at night.

If you can imagine adorable Osso fitting right into the rhythm of your household, let us know. Osso will be oh-so excited!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
