Story
We live out in the country by a river and this cat was dumped. He came to us starving and was living in the woods. We all ready had three cats, so we made the decision to keep him. Named him Mr. Roger, took him to the vet. Roger has been neutered and had required shots. Veterinarian determined he is around 3-4 years of age. Roger is litter trained and loves to be in doors, very gentle and affectionate, loves to talk. Would make a great companion to a caring home. We need to rehome due to not getting along with our other cat.
