Oscar was an older cat who was living on the streets, where a nice lady was feeding him. One day she noticed that he didn’t look too good, so she brought him to the vet. Kitty Connection took him from there and found him a great home, along with his cat-friend Pepper.
Unfortunately Oscar did not have as much time with his new forever family as we’d hoped. He was diagnosed with lymphoma; given his FIV+ status, chemo or steroids would have hurt more than helped. When he continued to refuse to eat or drink, his family made the difficult decision to end his suffering.
Oscar loved human attention and followed people around to get strokes and pets. He charmed everyone he met. We’re glad he found a family, even if it wasn’t as long as we’d wished.
