Taunton Animal Shelter lists Oreo, a serene adult male rescue cat with a tuxedo-colored black-and-white coat, for adoption in Taunton, Massachusetts. He may suit a quiet New England home where he can be the only pet, but call 508-822-1463 to confirm availability before visiting. "Tuxedo-colored" here describes Oreo's coat, not his breed or temperament. His serene characterization comes from his individual shelter profile, which says he prefers quiet days watching birds.

Meet Oreo
Oreo is about five years old and has a short coat. The Petfinder profile from Taunton Animal Shelter identifies him as an adult male black-and-white cat who enjoys calm bird-watching time.
That description gives prospective adopters a useful picture of his documented personality. It does not mean all tuxedo-colored cats are serene; coat color alone does not establish Oreo's individual preferences.
Is your home a good fit?
Oreo's strongest documented match is a home without other pets. His profile lists him as unsuitable for homes with cats or dogs, while compatibility with children and other animals remains unknown.
Treat "unknown" as a question for the shelter, not an assumption that he will adapt. Before applying, describe every child, pet, frequent animal visitor, and shared living arrangement in your household.
Health, training, and adoption fee
Oreo is listed as house-trained, neutered, and vaccinated. His profile reports no special needs and says he has not been declawed. Taunton Animal Shelter's normal cat adoption fee is $165.
That fee includes spay or neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, and other required vaccinations. Oreo's listing, however, specifies a special adoption fee and directs interested adopters to contact the shelter for the amount. Ask the shelter to clarify:.
- Oreo's special adoption fee
- The veterinary records provided at adoption
- His current routine, food, and litter preferences
- Any recent observations that could help him settle into a new home
Who can apply?
The shelter adopts only to New England residents. According to its Petfinder adoption policy, applicants need approval and must provide current or past veterinary references.
Renters should expect a landlord-reference check. Confirm that your lease permits a cat before applying, and have the landlord's contact details ready.
Arrange a meeting before traveling
Oreo's listing was crawled last month and does not display a dated availability update. He should therefore be treated as listed for adoption, not guaranteed to remain available.
Call 508-822-1463 before making the trip. The City of Taunton facility page places the shelter at 821 W. Water Street and lists these hours: Ask staff to confirm that Oreo is still available and arrange the meeting before visiting.
- Tuesday through Thursday: noon–5 p.m.
