Update, 6/9/10: Oreo’s listing is no longer available on Petfinder.

Because I totally flaked out and forgot about the Featured Adoptables column last week, I’m doubling up with another animal today! Like Smores, Oreo also hails from Half Way Home Pet Adoptions in Raytown, Missouri. Unlike Ms. Smores, Oreo is a dude – and a cat.

Though I didn’t mean to continue on with the food-themed names, Oreo’s story touched my heart; this little guy deserves a loving home to make up for the loss of his family, both human and feline.

Gentle Oreo came to us with a companion of his, Suzie Q. He was surrendered because of allergies in the family. This sweet boy might be a bit older than some of the cats we have, but his gentle nature is his strong suit. Won’t you give this older guy a chance at a loving home once again? Come see Oreo today.

On the glass is half empty/half full side, it appears that Suzie Q has already been adopted – without poor Oreo! (I cannot for the life of me find her listing on Petfinder.) If you can give dear Oreo a loving home – perhaps with a new feline friend – in which to spend the rest of his days, get in touch with Half Way Home today. But. You might still ask Half Way Home what became of Oreo’s sister, as the group doesn’t list all of its available animals on Petfinder. Perhaps Suzie Q is still at the shelter, too.

And remember: Half Way Home will be at The Kansas City Pet Expo this Saturday and Sunday, April 17th and 18th, along with a number of other local animal rescue groups, as well as KC area businesses that cater to nonhuman animals and their guardians. A full list of exhibitors is available here.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
