Patch Pet of the Week: Odin

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 learned to trust and enjoy contact with a few special people.

Once he felt comfortable, he just 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 gets along well with other cats.

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, but 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 further questions, Odin's foster mom would be willing to speak with you. Just call 412.847.7002 to make arrangements.

Odin is available for adoption at Animal Friends, 562 Camp Horne Road, Ohio Township, 412-847-7000. The facility is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
