A staff member writes: It seems this is the Curious Case of Speedy the Cat. He’s 17, but aging in reverse! He has a silly motor-like meow when you pet him. Maybe it’s his attempt at purring; he is an elderly gentleman. He also does this funny move where he shakes you off after you pet him, but then goes in for round two. Speedy quickly warms up to you for attention but slows it down to appreciate every second of love. Hurry in for Speedy today!
