This week’s cat of the week is the adorable man, Kush. Kush is a 6 year old cat that has been with the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society since August without a family to call his own. When Kush first arrived at the facility, he was very frightful and was not what you would call the sweetest cat, but in the past few months, he has done a complete 180. Now, when you enter the cat rooms, Kush is one of the first to try to greet you. He is always looking for someone to love on him. Kush is now one of the most incredibly sweet cats in residence. He is the kind of cat that just wants to spend time with you. Despite his desire for attention, Kush is also very laid back. His personality is what will make you fall in love with him, if it isn’t his stunning good looks first. He just wants to lounge around, watching the world around him, and get some well deserved love and attention. Watching Kush come out of his hell has been an incredible gift. He has become such an amazing cat and all he needs now is a home that will fulfill his Christmas wish for a family.
