Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Oswald

Oswald is a fully vetted tuxedo cutie just over one year old with striking markings and an even bigger personality. This handsome boy is packed with playful energy and absolutely loves toys — wand toys, balls, crinkle mice… if you’ve got it, he’s ready to chase it.

Once Oswald has time to settle into a new environment and build trust, he becomes incredibly affectionate — on his own terms. When he’s in the mood for love, he’ll stretch up toward you to be picked up and reward you with the sweetest hugs and kisses. Those moments are extra special because they’re completely genuine and all him.

Oswald does have that classic “temperamental tuxedo” streak, so it’s important that his adopter understands cat body language and respects his boundaries. When given space and consistency, he thrives and forms strong bonds with his person.

Oswald was sadly returned to us after being adopted in October 2025. The home had young children, and the activity level proved to be too stressful for his sensitive nature. Because of this, Oswald is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can feel secure and understood. He needs to be the only pet — no other cats or dogs — so he can truly relax and shine.

In the right home, Oswald will be a loyal, playful, deeply devoted companion. He just needs someone patient, cat-savvy, and ready to love him exactly as he is.

If you’re looking for a spirited, affectionate tuxedo boy to be your one-and-only, Oswald is waiting.
