Featured pet: Oneill

Today we would like to introduce Oneill. He is the third in our series dedicated to finding homes for some of our "less" adoptable cats. What makes them less adoptable? Some are timid or even a little fearful, some have health issues, and some, like Oneill are sweet and loving but because of their age, they tend to overlooked.

Oneill is a gentle and quiet 10 year old cat who really shouldn't be spending his golden years in a shelter. He was surrendered, along with his companion Puffin, because a child in the home developed allergies. The onset of allergies is one of the most common reasons given by people surrendering their animals. Too often though, little effort is made to remedy the situation. Sometimes, with even just a few simple changes, allergies can be mitigated. We owe it to our pets to at least try.

Given his age and used to the creature comforts of living in a home, Oneill is understandably a bit unsure about his new environment. He has been with us for a little over a month and although he is stoic and doing his best to cope, we know he isn't happy and we would love to settle him into a new home soon.

Oneill is calm and tends to spend most of his time in one of the smaller back rooms where there is less hustle and bustle. He is friendly though and welcomes attention from people. He does well with other cats too. He has been to the vet and is in good health. Oneill is an elegant long haired striped tabby who has the look of a maine coon. He is a real beauty.

We are doing are best to make sure Oneill feels safe and loved but he needs a home. He is serene and dignified and he is very ready to leave shelter living behind.

If you think you might be the one to give Oneill the loving home he deserves, please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com or come out to meet him at our cat adoption open house which takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m to noon at 2405 Griffin in Ogden.
