My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Hemmingway! One of the most awesome cats with the most awesome whiskers! This sweet guy has probably seen a lot in his 7 years, most likely on the streets and on his own. It is now his time to enjoy the good life with a loving family in a warm, safe home. He is super sweet, friendly, and truly enjoys the loving touch and attention of people. If you are looking for the purrfect companion, come and meet Hemmingway. Or fill out an application here, http://tinyurl.com/ORAS-Adoption-Application
