Description

---

Oreo is a gentle boy with a special need. He arrived at the Kitty Cottage underweight and suffering from pancreatitis. Oreo's poor diet and lack of care contributed to his illness. After several months on a new diet and a daily dose of medication, Oreo gained weight and confidence in his new surroundings. He is an affectionate cat that never misses an opportunity to snuggle on a lap. He's also fond of resting on the desk next to whoever is working with a paw ready to tap a key or hold paper in place. Oreo enjoys brushing and will stretch out to make sure no spot is missed. He is always calm and patient with visitors, even the youngest cat lovers. Oreo is equally well mannered with his feline friends. He takes his medicine with ease and never fusses. Oreo will thrive in a home with an adopter looking for a loyal, loving companion.

Adoption process

To adopt a cat or dog, please fill out an adoption application from our website: https://www.ny-petrescue.org under the "adopt" tab. The adoption donation for a puppy/dog is $400; a cat is $125; and a kitten is $150 (higher amounts for pure breeds). If the puppy or kitten is too young to be neutered, we require a spay/neuter deposit of $60 which is refundable upon receipt of proof from your vet. All adoption donations are tax-deductible. Our pets are examined by a veterinarian, spayed and neutered if age appropriate, vaccinated, dewormed, receive flea/tick treatment and microchipped. Our review process may happen quickly (within two days) or may take up to two weeks - email is our preferred means of communication. Please contact us by email at [email protected] for a status on your application.

While many of our animals are kenneled in our facility, many are fostered in loving homes which provides special care and attention - and allows Pet Rescue to expertly match our pets with prospective homes.
