My story

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

Meatball was found outside in subzero freezing temps. He was skinny and very hungry, but friendly and anxious to be inside in the warmth. We believe he is just over one year old. He is Fiv+, but he's not aggressive, so he is safe to mix with other cats. He is currently in a temporary home with two older cats and he really wants to play with them, but they're not into playing, much to Meatball's dismay. If you have a playful kitty who needs a playmate, consider Meatball! He also gets along with small children.
He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He has had flea prevention and dewormer. The adult cat adoption fee is $50. If you are interested in meeting this adorable guy, please complete the cat adoption form and we will set up a time for you to meet him.
