Skills:
Oberon was a seizure-alert cat for me. He could open a can of Pounce treats in under 30 seconds. He never met a door he couldn't open. He tolerated medical treatment so calmly and well (everything except X-Rays, anyway; those he'd fight).

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
Found living in a feral colony in New Orleans, he was suffering from abuse, malnutrition, fleas, respiratory infections, and burns (looked like someone flicked a lighter in his face). He warbled at us from up in an oak tree, and we took him home with his mates Sebastian and Cerridwen. We didn't think he'd last a week, but he lived for almost 11 years. He was our Miracle Kitty.

Bio:
Oberon passed away on November 10, 2003 after losing his second battle with lymphoma. His first battle occurred when he was 4 years old and left him immunocompromised for the rest of his life. Despite this, he was in remission for 7 years -- quite a miracle. He was strong, stubborn, loving, loquacious (with that wonderful Maine Coon vocabulary of trills, warbles, and chirps), and an excellent guardian. He & I had a special understanding because we both deal(t) with chronic pain (he had arthritis). He would alert me before I had a seizure or migraine aura. I miss him so much. He'll always be my "big brother," and a part of our family. The lessons he taught Saoirse have since been passed on to Madchen Chloe Pooperhead; the Culture of Oberon lives on.
