Size

Details

Story

This is Carl he is a sweet heart and loves to cuddle and spend time with you. He doesn’t like being alone and has his favorite ball he loves to play with which will come with him. I will give you a crate, bag of food, and all of his toys. There is also 0$ adoption fee, because I don’t care about any money I just want to make sure Carl gets a good home with someone who has time to work with him. He really does have so much love to give he just can’t be in a home with cats and that is my problem. I got him from someone who was unable to keep him and I didn’t want him to end up in a shelter where there’s the risk of putting him down so I offered to take him but over the last 6 months he hasn’t adjusted to my cats so I’m unable to keep him.
