Story
We rescued this cat last summer. We got him when he was 4 - 5 weeks old. He is almost a year old. He had a rough eye infection when we took him. We took him to our vet and got him cured. Spot is a very active young cat who loves to play. He has always been an indoor cat. Don't know if he would be good for young children as he plays vigorously. Spot has all his shots, is nuetered, and was litter trained in less than 24 hours. Never an accident. Our problem is we have a 10 year old Shih Tzu with her own health issues. Spot really wants to play and wrestle with her, like he would another cat. Spot is just more than we can cope with at our ages. I really like Spot and would keep him if we thought we could make it work. But it's been almost a year and it's just not working. Please help us. --Vaughn & Nancy Page (xxx) xxx-xxxx
