Hello! My name is Zappa. I love to cuddle, play, and be outside. Be warned I do have a high prey drive and will chase things like squirrels. A fenced in yard would be best so I can run and play.
I love to be petted and to get cuddles from my foster parents. I get along very well with my foster brother Ares and love to play with him. Make sure I have plenty to do as I can get bored without toys to keep me busy.
I'm mostly housebroken and only have accidents inside on rare occasions. My foster parents separate us for food time because I like to try and eat my foster brothers food! I'm crate trained and will go in on command.

TAPS-Tazewell Animal Protective Society was founded in 1958 in Pekin Illinois in a building donated by the City of Pekin on River Road. In 1979, rapidly rising river water forced the evacuation of the animals. Once again, the City of Pekin stepped in and donated a building for the animals. Several moves later, and with the help and generosity of many volunteers and community members, TAPS now has a new home at 100 TAPS Lane. Last year we celebrated 50 year of caring for the homeless animals of Central Illinois.
