Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Nantucket, Massachusetts

Oscar is a feral-to-fabulous boy, kindly rescued by our friends at Cattrap Nantucket, and he’s already stealing hearts.

With his dreamy blue eyes and soft, creamy white coat (hello, lynx point fans ), Oscar is what cat dreams are made of. And if you know, you know—this look doesn’t stay available for long!

At just about 6 months old, Oscar is still on his journey. He’ll need to be neutered and is gaining confidence every day as he learns to trust humans. He may need a little bit longer to adjust to his surroundings and new routine. This past weekend he was in full bunting mode (head boops for everyone!), which is a huge step for this sweet boy. He loves watching cat tv and is very curious and playful with all the toys in the cat room.

Oscar is looking for a patient, loving home, possibly a cat-savvy family/person that will continue helping him blossom into the affectionate companion we know he’s becoming.
