Meet Oakley! <br/><br/>Oakley’s story started when she was trapped as a stray for TNR (trap-neuter-return). At around 2 years old, she was spayed, vaccinated, and preparing to return to her outdoor home when her rescuer discovered that she had a painful botfly larva infection in her neck. Because Oakley was friendly and needed time to recover, she moved into a bathroom to heal.<br/><br/>A few weeks later, her neck was healed and it was finally time to set her free. There was just one problem: Oakley had absolutely no interest in going back outside. When her rescuer tried to release her, Oakley stayed glued to her feet as if to politely say, “No thanks, I live inside now.” So, naturally, back inside she went!<br/><br/>Oakley has since shown just how much she enjoys the comforts of indoor life. She loves to cuddle, play with toys, make biscuits, rub against your ankles, and purr endlessly. She is spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.<br/><br/>Oakley is affectionate and social, but she’s still learning some indoor-cat manners. When she gets excited or overstimulated, she may nip. She isn’t trying to hurt anyone; she needs an adopter who can recognize when she’s getting overstimulated, give her space when she needs it, and redirect her energy toward toys and appropriate play. For this reason, a home with older children would be the best fit.<br/><br/>We don’t yet know how Oakley feels about other cats or dogs, so any introductions to resident pets should be gradual.<br/><br/>Oakley has already had a lot of change in her young life, including two adoptions that unfortunately didn’t work out. What she needs now is someone patient and committed who will give her time to settle in, learn her personality, and finally put down roots.<br/><br/>She chose the indoor life. Now she just needs someone to choose her. <br/><br/>Oakley is currently being fostered in Bay Village, Ohio.
