Meet Oolong – Your Sweet, Easygoing Companion
Oolong is a remarkably friendly and easygoing British Shorthair who wins over nearly everyone he meets. Visitors often comment on how unusually social and welcoming he is—he settles in comfortably with most new people almost right away and shows little shyness.
He grew up with another British Shorthair and can live happily with other cats when introductions are done thoughtfully (as long as the other cat isn’t aggressive). He’s also done well around cat-friendly dogs and has stayed with Rover sitters and friends—both with and without other pets—during longer trips, generally adjusting smoothly to new environments. His experience with young children is limited, but when around a toddler he simply moved away when he needed space and was never aggressive.
Sudden loud noises or big unexpected movements can startle him, but otherwise Oolong is quite relaxed. He’s affectionate without being overly needy—he loves having people around and will often sit, purr, or nap close by while you work or go about your day.
Handling and grooming are a breeze. He enjoys being brushed, tolerates nail trims calmly, and can even take a shower if needed, then be patted dry and blow-dried on a low setting. He’s very food-motivated and already knows several tricks: sit, high five, low five, fist bump, and spin. He was also started on communication button training and would likely pick it back up easily with an interested adopter.
He is leash and harness trained and curious about the outdoors but not a door-dasher. Oolong especially loves a big window where he can watch birds, people, and the world go by.
Oolong has chronic constipation that requires consistent daily management. He currently takes cisapride 5 mg twice daily (pill form), which he accepts readily in a treat or pill pocket. Depending on his progress, this may eventually drop to once a day. His diet combines automatically dispensed dry food with wet food; a bit of Miralax is mixed into the wet food to support regular bowel movements, and lactulose is added occasionally if needed. These are simple to administer. His adopter will need to stay consistent with medication and monitor that he’s having regular bowel movements.
Aside from this manageable medical need, Oolong is a low-maintenance cat with no behavioral issues. He’s affectionate, adaptable, easy to care for, and ready to bring his sweet, calm presence into the right home.
If you’re looking for a gentle, people-oriented companion who thrives on quiet companionship and a little daily care, Oolong could be the perfect match.

If you believe you’re my perfect adopter please explain why in the comments section of my Adoption Application, and contact Pamela at cheemers@gmail.com or (707) 498-6578. If you are unable to reach Pamela please email info@purebredsplus.org.
NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone’s best interests!
