Little Oscar had a rough beginning in life before he was rescued by a good Samaritan in Logan County of West Virginia. The tabby boy somehow ended up in a trash can until someone heard his plea and got him out to safety.
Itty Bitty Kitty Committee in Charleston, West Virginia took him into their care on October 12th. When he came to the rescue, all he wanted was attention and love. "He was friendly and loved everyone. He didn't know a stranger," Dorella Tuckwiller of Itty Bitty Kitty Committee told Love Meow.
"He may have been thrown away by a horrible human, but that hasn't dampened his spirits one bit."

Oscar was so excited to meet other kitties at his foster home. The outgoing little boy was thrilled to have friends to play with and humans to cuddle with.
He showered everyone with his boundless affection and made sure that no one was left without some love from Oscar.
