Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Personal space? What’s that, you ask? Well, you won’t find it with Parsnip, the white and orange boy who’s the ultimate cuddle companion! This charming boy loves people, greeting you with purrs and affection from the moment you enter the room.
He’s a mellow fellow with a raspy chirp-meow that adds to his charm. Parsnip loves to be petted and carried. He enjoys playtime, and will drag a toy your way so you know it’s go time. A gymnast at heart, he’s known to climb onto shoulders and just hang out, which we find adorably sweet.
With his striking green eyes and wild whiskers, Parsnip loves lounging in sinks and getting good head scratches. And come nighttime, get ready for some serious snuggles as he cozies in close to your pillow. Parsnip loves the company of other kitties so would do well with feline sibs. If you're searching for a devoted cuddle buddy and playful companion, Parsnip is your guy. He was born around October 11, 2021.
If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Parsnip, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.
We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com or Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com to learn more. Photos by Brenda Stewart.
