* SAFE 04/21/15 *** PLUS SIZE PUFF HAS PLENTY OF PURRSONALITY!! A staff member writes: This Puff isn’t likely to do very much frolicking until she loses a little weight, but I’m sure she would love to live by the sea. She’s been a little overwhelmed by the environment here ….. But she absolutely loves her head rubs and neck scratches so don’t be shy with the attention! PUFF came in with housemate SHINE A1033211 and while they were respectful they were not bonded. SHINE is 5 yrs old and SPAYED and has a FRIENDLY, PLAYFUL purrsonality and a BEGINNER rating. As stated above, SHINE and PUFF are not bonded but it might be nice if they could find a home together. TWO NICE CATS!! SURELY THERE IS A HOME OR HOMES FOR THEM WHERE THEY WILL BE WELCOMED AND CHERISHED!!

A staff member writes: This Puff isn’t likely to do very much frolicking until she loses a little weight, but I’m sure she would love to live by the sea. She’s been a little overwhelmed by the environment here, and we certainly can’t blame her — it’s very different from the quiet home she was used to. She would love a new family that would give her some time to get comfortable, but she absolutely loves her head rubs and neck scratches so don’t be shy with the attention!
