Are you looking for the perfect gift or pet for friends, relatives or even yourself? Well, I am the one for you! I am a 2-year-old male cat, wearing tag No. 121 and waiting for you. I was brought to the animal shelter on Feb. 21, when they found me at the 7600 block of Third Avenue Southeast.

I am an agile cat with short and pointy ears. My fur is short and buff colored. My body is little and striped, just like my tail. With my small paws and my hazel eyes, I can speed through the house like a bullet. When Sharif and Tristan came, I acted like my regular self, playful, active, curious, agile and athletic. When they tried to take a picture I was too busy investigating the play room. Finally, Sharif picked me up and took a perfect picture.

I am dying for a cozy house to snuggle down in. That is why I'm the perfect pet for you. So, please come and adopt a male cat wearing the tag No. 121 today!
