Story
*Meow* I`m in a foster home to meet me, reach out to my foster caregiver at wesandemily1@gmail.com.Cooper is a very social feline who really likes a lot of human attention! And he is also a very active cat who would so love lots of interactive toys and tall cat towers. He is a real explorer as well as a true lover boy. It was shared that he is not a fan of other cats so he would prefer to be a solo act- but he`s all the cat you need! Meet this sweet, lovable kitty soon- he is wonderful!
