Description:
An approved adoption application is required to meet me in my foster home -- fill out an application today! Our mailing address is Reston, VA and our cats fostered in NoVA and DC homes. Washington, D.C.- Suburban Virginia/Maryland Area inquiries only, please! Meet Oatie! Part dog, part shadow, and 100% extraordinary, Oatie is a fearless, charismatic showstopper who is ready to steal the spotlight in your home! Rescued from the streets of DC right before a brutal winter storm, Oatie instantly traded his stray days for the lap of luxury—and he hasn’t left his human’s side since. Oatie isn't your average house cat; he's practically a canine in a feline suit. Incredibly trainable and very smart, this clever boy sits on command, plays fetch, and handles nail trims and dress-up sessions like an absolute pro! (Check out his training video to watch him in action: https://youtu.be/wC5dG6hQ0MY?si=J5Bsefx_sjEmh6H) . At the end of the day, Oatie’s ultimate mission is just to be with you. Whether he’s jumping up to high-five your hand, purring up a storm directly on your chest, or waking you up with gentle morning snuggles, Oatie is a once-in-a-lifetime companion ready to be the center of your universe. Oatie is Feline Leukemia (FeLV) positive, meaning he has a feline-only virus that affects only other cats (but not people or other animals). He is NOT sick – simply positive for the virus. Many FeLV+ cats feel perfectly healthy and live happy lives for years! If illness does develop later, it’s due to how FeLV can affect the immune system over time, which can lead to a shorter overall lifespan.
