Story
My name is Padfoot, I am super sweet and adorable. I love attention and playing. I especially love my friend Binx. We were brought in together and while we don't have to go home together, we would really love it if someone could welcome us both into their home. My favorite activity is following people around so they keep petting me. When it's time for a nap, then I like to snuggle in with my person and sleep for a bit.*If you are interested in adopting or meeting any of our cats/kittens please fill out an application at our website:www.allfurone.org.*We do not adopt out of state.*Kittens do best when they have a friend.
