All hail Oberon! King of the kittens! This little guy is waiting for his own kingdom to oversee with his gentle and loving touch. Although a bit shy at first, he'll rule your heart through his purring and kneading. He has plenty of kitten energy and loves playing with his foster playmates, taking sun-soaked naps in between. He gets along with other kittens, cats, dogs, and people. He came to Lovepaws in need of some medical care but has been all healed up now, ready to pounce on life's next adventure.

Check out his sibling (Ophelia, or foster mates, the Aristocats (Toulouse and Berlioz)!)

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
