Story
Frankie was rescued by a friend at the Lake of the Ozarks. He is approximately 9 years old. My mom and dad had him in for several years before they passed. Dad recently passed this year. Frankie does best with a one cat family, He gets along with my dog Bella. He has a special Urinary diet, and could stand to lose a few pounds. He is playful and loves to be under sheets and covers, He uses his scratching post and will come with an automatic litter box. He’s an indoor cat but loves to go out on our deck to watch the birds. He is independent but likes to be pet behind his head, ears, and under his chin. Frankie is used to being the only cat in a family and is scared of other cats. Frankie will do well with a family that understands his quirks. We would love to keep him but we already have four cats, a dog, a bearded dragon, and a water turtle. He likes to snuggle in blankets for a time with his owner. He’s a faithful companion. He will be missed.
