PET ADOPTION BULLETIN
Huron OSPCA (Ontario Humane Society)
Omar is a 3 year old, semi long haired orange, male, neutered
cat. Omar is extremely handsome and his face resembles a
lion. He is a bit of a scamp and keeps the other cats in line,
but not in a nasty way. He just likes to be the leader and
feels that every other cat should fall in behind him. Omar
lived with a dog in his last home which could not keep him
due to personal reasons. This boy is not shy of anyone and
meets and greets everyone who comes into our shelter. We
are sure that he would adjust well in a home with children.
He is probably best suited to a home that has enough time to
spend with him as he craves human companionship.
