Oscar & Sam

About Oscar & Sam

For the first four months of their lives, Sam and Oscar learned one thing: the world was something to be afraid of. Born into a colony in a busy Dundalk car park, they survived by hiding, dodging cars, and sticking close to each other. By the time they were finally trapped and brought to safety, they were terrified of people, riddled with parasites and ear mites, and had never known what it felt like to be someone’s beloved little cats. And then, slowly, something beautiful happened. Sam decided to give humans a chance. He discovered full bowls, warm beds, and belly rubs — and it turns out he absolutely LOVES all three. He purrs, he cuddles, and he has thrown himself wholeheartedly into this new idea that humans might actually be pretty wonderful. Oscar is still learning. He is the more frightened little brother. New things are scary. People are still scary sometimes. But when Oscar doesn’t know whether to be brave, he looks at Sam. Sam is his protector, his confidant and the little piece of home he has carried with him through everything. Separate them and they cry for each other. For four months, these boys had nobody looking out for them but each other. Now we want to find the person who looks at them and says, “You don’t have to look after yourselves anymore. I’ve got you.” Their perfect home will need patience. Oscar won’t walk through the door and immediately understand that his frightening days are over. But every day, he is learning. And with Sam beside him and the right person loving him, we know he’ll get there. They survived their beginning together. Now we need someone extraordinary to give them the ending they deserve, together, safe, spoiled rotten and loved for the rest of their lives.
