Story
Lynx is a sweet loving boy. I adopted him as a Christmas gift for my dad. My dad passed away 3 years ago and I took Lynx in. I already have 2 cats and a German shepherd. Lynx likes his own space and I’m in a small apartment. He has asthma but it’s well controlled with an inhaler and he has early stage kidney disease and that is controlled with a special diet. Lynx loves to cuddle up next to you, he loves getting petted and loves to play with his favorite toys. He would thrive in a home where there are no other pets.
