When, Where and How I Got My Cat

I adopted Oscar this summer because his previous owner couldn't care for him due to her busy schedule. He was (& is at this writing) 5 years old & awesomely beautiful.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

Oscar is a gift from God to me & my family. My family is very allergic to cats & thanks to the Siberian being a hypo-allergenic breed, that's no longer an issue. He is loyal, very loving, intelligent, sweet, fun, & funny. He's also a diva who wants full, undivided attention, but he definitely deserves that & more!

Advice

  • Allergy sufferers: Get a Siberian cat! It will be one of the best things you've ever done!
