Ernie has been at the shelter for about two months after coming in as a stray. Staff notations say he’s usually quiet and loves canned meals, and it is recommended that visitors speak softly when meeting him for the first time.

He is currently being treated and monitored for an upper respiratory infection and may need an additional veterinarian consultation upon adoption.

Ernie is available for adoption. OC Animal Care is also offering a promotional cat adoption event every Friday — cat adoption fees are reduced to $50 on Fridays only.
