Fall in love with Edgar, a staff favorite. Edgar came to us back in November after his previous owner passed away. He is a 13-year-old gentle giant weighing in at just under 17 pounds. He is a very sweet and loving cat. He walks right up to get some attention no matter what. He is living in our community room with other cats of all ages and loves every one of them. He loves companionship and attention so if you are feeling a little lonely this distinguished gentleman will fill your heart. His love is unconditional and judgment-free. We have not tested him with dogs or young children but we think he will do just fine with a mellow dog and children that can respect his space. You can meet Edgar and our other wonderful cats during our open hours or by appointment on other days. Fill out our application at www.responsiblepetcare.org/cats to be preapproved.
