Pick up and cuddle, please!!!  Please meet Larry!  Our volunteer phographer said, 'Larry is super sweet. He greeted me at the door and followed me around wanting attention and pets. He is really sweet.  Larry greets everyone at the door and loves to be held. If you pick him up and cuddle him, he purrs so loud.  He is one of the sweetest cats I have met.'  Larry weighs almost 13 pounds and has lots of love to give.  Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet to adopt:   https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)  February 22, 2026, 6:31 am
