Otto's Story

Otto is an approximately 3 year old kitty whose time surviving on the streets of Brooklyn has shaped him into a cat that treats every soft blanket, full food bowl and human companion with a great joie de vivre. Otto is an intelligent cat who loves to observe the happenings of the day and discuss his observations. He is enthusiastic about head butts and wants to be a part of every gathering. He will also make sure you are safe when showering. Otto is gentle with other cats (considering a proper introduction is done) and is very much a snuggle bug. Otto would likely do well in a home with multiple people and/ or pets and where his intelligence could be exercised such as through training him for tricks or through challenging puzzles. <br/><br/>Otto will need to be adopted into a home with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. If you are looking for a pair of Waggytail cats - note this in your application! Otto is up to date on shots, FeLV/FIV negative, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. Otto recently had a dental cleaning as well.<br/><br/>Please apply using the following instructions if you are interested in adopting one of our Waggytails: Visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the cat is on our website, they are still available.<br/><br/>Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue.<br/><br/>Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org

This is the time to determine whether a dog's personality is a match for your whole family and other animals, and to see if you have allergies.
