It isn’t difficult for the staff members at Responsible Pet Care to have a favorite cat or dog. It happens all the time. An animal will come into the shelter and touch the heart of someone there. This is the case with Rowe and shelter manager, Lucille.

From the day that Rowe entered Responsible Pet Care Lucille has been enamored with him. She has given him the nickname of Stud Muffin.

When you meet Rowe it is easy to see why Lucille thinks he is special. This handsome kitty is very laid back. He takes great pleasure in being touched. If he had his way he would lay around all day being admired and loved.

You may not have all day to spend with Rowe, but if you can spare just a few minutes he will make it worth while. Just ask Lucille.
