Oscar is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Oscar has a number of other symptoms, which suggest that he may have other underlying health complications. Tests so far have been inconclusive, and we recommend that further analysis be undertaken following placement. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Oscar, whom we believe would be suitable for most homes.
My medical notes are…
