My story

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

Aries is the definition of a classic "Tomcat" - chubby cheeks, rugged charm, and a look in his eyes that says, "I've got stories." After a life on the streets, this orange tabby gentleman is more than ready to trade alleyways for armchairs. Now all he wants is a cozy home, a soft bed, and a loving family to spoil him in his well-earned retirement. Beneath that tough exterior is a sweet soul just waiting to relax and enjoy the good life.
