Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Springfield, Massachusetts

Oscar is a fantastic young kitty—and really, what’s not to love about an orange tabby? Full of personality and charm, Oscar is as adorable as he is playful and loving.

This energetic boy must go to an active home with other kitties to keep him company and help burn off his playful energy. His adopter should have the time and enthusiasm to engage in regular, interactive play—Oscar thrives on it!
