Pet of the Week: Oreo II is fluffy and shy

Everybody loves Oreos, and Oreo II, a Persian/Maine Coon mix currently at Pat Brody Shelter for Cats is a lovable fellow.

He’s 7 years old, in good health, and according to shelter volunteers he’s “a lovely boy, shy at first but once he feels safe is incredibly sweet and friendly.”

As you can see from his chin whiskers, when his coat is fully grown, he is one big fluffy (not stuffy) pussycat. He was groomed to remove his mats and would love to spend time with a fancier of long-haired felines. As you can see, his owl-like gaze is thoroughly hypnotic! Oreo will need regular brushing to keep him looking sharp. (And in our experience, there is nothing more lovely than watching a ball game with a kitty needing some grooming on the couch next to you!)
