My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Baxter was left outside our facility in a box with a dirty towel and a stuffed doggie. The stuffed doggie remains his best friend. He sleeps with it and cuddles with it. In fact, his arm is laying over it in his photo.

Baxter is an adult, male, long-haired cat who loves attention but prefers you look and not touch for the most part. He is easily overstimulated and needs someone who understands cat language. He is a very expressive cat but doesn't always want what you think he does.
