My story

　　My name is Oreo, formally known as Gwendolyn Rose (you see my foster mom and dad thought I was a girl until they took me to the vet). I showed up at their house during the week of Christmas 2022 when it was below freezing. They built me a heated enclosure and had their cat sitter feed me while they were out of town. Ever since then I hung out on their deck and got two meals a day. Slowly I learned that not all humans are out to hurt me. My foster parents think it's clear that I used to have a home, because I like to be pet and want to come inside the house. They recently screened in their deck, so now I have my own safe bedroom. I have proven that I used to be an indoor kitty, because I keep a clean litter box and have never had an accident. I have four kitty foster siblings and have never once hissed, I am very easy going and like other fur babies. I even let the opossums  eat my food when I lived on the deck. I haven't interacted with a dog but the barks from our neighbors don't scare me.I am very nervous around new people (because of the mean humans in my past). I may take a while to warm up but I'm as sweet as can be once you get to know me. I have beautiful big green eyes and the cutest white whiskers. I purr so loudly that you can hear me across the room. I want to have an indoor home of my own where I can lounge and spend my days in your company. I have been combo tested (FIV and FeLV) negative and am up to date on my vaccines. I am also neutered. The doctor thinks I am 4-5 years old. The EndIMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: /adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as ''Out of Town'' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: /transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.December 26, 2023, 3:49 pm
