He is an adorable kitty but is living a cage (our foster homes are overflowing). He deserves better, This guy is so special...we need to help him find his forever home and family soon. He does not deserve to spend his life ina cage. He was to to watch television, sit int eh bathroom with you while you shower, wait for you to go to be so he can be with you...that is what he dreams of. <br/><br/>He is a sweet boy. He has not been around dogs, but he is a sweetheart to other cats. He is gentle and lays with them, rubs on them and is the all-around best friend for other friendly cats. He jumps up from his bed when people walk into the room...hoping that someone will see him and pick him to be theirs. But so far no one has.
