Oswald's Story

Meet Oswald: The Lovably Awkward Orange Goblin<br/><br/>Age: Kitten (but spiritually 87)<br/>Color: Orange & White<br/>Personality: Shy, Awkward, Sweet, Slightly Confused at All Times<br/><br/>Special Skills: Bird-watching, Professional Snuggler, Expert at Being Groomed by Other Cats<br/><br/>Do you have a friendly, nurturing cat who’s always dreamed of mentoring a large, confused, orange protégé? Have you ever wanted to adopt a kitten who radiates “retired librarian energy”? Then allow us to introduce Oswald: the awkward orange enigma you never knew you needed in your life.<br/><br/>Oswald is 80% fluff, 10% purr, and 10% gentle bewilderment. Loud noises? Terrifying. Sudden movements? Startling. Communal orange cat brain cell? Tragically, Oswald has never been granted visitation rights. But what he lacks in coordination and brainpower, he makes up for in vibes.<br/><br/>This boy is only getting bigger—so think of him as a sizable emotional support potato. He spends most of his time under the bed like a shy little troll, peeking out with eyes full of love (and mild panic). But if you scoop him up gently and hold him just right, he’ll tuck his head into the crook of your arm like a shy baby bird and just melt. It’s his signature move.<br/><br/>He enjoys:<br/>Gazing at birds like he’s pondering the meaning of life<br/>Having his cheeks and head gently rubbed<br/>Sitting near the action but not in the action<br/>Being groomed by other cats like a pampered little prince<br/><br/>Seriously, the second another cat starts grooming him, he goes full purr-engine. It’s like flipping a switch labeled “Activate Joy.”<br/><br/>Important Note: Oswald must go to a home with at least one friendly cat who is willing to take him under their paw and love him despite his, uh… Oswald-ness. No kids, no dogs—just a calm, cat-friendly home where he can live his best troll-under-the-bed life <br/><br/>Oswald may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he is without a doubt the warmest. If you’re looking for a squishy, slightly haunted-looking cuddlebug with a heart of gold and absolutely no idea what’s going on, Oswald might just be your guy.<br/><br/>Estimated DOB: 4/6/25
