Story
Grezier is a 5 year old boy who is confident in who he is. We think he would do best with fellow cat friends who have established personalities. Cats or kittens under 1 year of age may not be the best fit for him. He is aware of dogs but has only been introduced to them through a barrier. Can you see him in your future family photos? Meet him at Pet Smart Harbison on Saturdays from 12 to 4 pm.
