Obie is 10 years old. He is a gentle cat that is just a love.

Like many of the older cats that are guests at Responsible Pet Care, Obie had a good home. When his person passed away his life changed.

As soon as you meet Obie you feel a connection. He is very happy when he is being touched. His purr confirms his contentment. His eyes show a hopefulness that this could be his new love.

If the force is moving you to find a new, feline friend you can’t go wrong adding Obie to the crew.
