Patch Pet: Odin the Cat

Odin is a handsome, sleek, 3-year-old black cat who came into foster care as a semi-feral cat.

He was very frightened and suspicious but has worked hard to learn to trust and enjoy contact with a few special people. Once he felt comfortable he blossomed.

Now he eagerly cuddles and seeks attention with loud purrs. He likes to play but is mostly very affectionate with the humans he has learned to trust. 

Odin really likes other cats and gets along beautifully with them. Having other cats around helped him adjust to his new surroundings. 

Odin needs a home that is somewhat quiet, with not a lot of traffic and new people going in and out. He is very shy around strangers. He will need some time, understanding and patience to adjust to a new home. Once he settles in the rewards will be great. 

Odin uses the litter box consistently and can be left alone for hours at a time.

If you have questions, Odin's foster mom would be willing to speak with you. Just call Animal Friends at 412-847-7002 to make arrangements.
