Story
Hello, my furiends - say hey to our buddy Flounder, a 2 year old grey tabby, who is one of Scruffy Paws' resident Foodies. This boy likes to eat! Flounder is one playful kitty - and feather wands and lasers are his thing. You can see from his pictures that he loves a good wand workout! Flounder enjoys the company of other cats, and if you are looking for an energetic play partner for your cat - Flounder is your boy! He is a curious cat with a Cheshire grin who loves being around his shelter cat-mates and lounging in his hammock. We suggest a home with older kids, pre-teens and up.

Sure! Here's a warm and inviting adoption bio for Maggie: Meet Maggie! 🐾💕 Maggie is a sweet and gentle senior lady who is simply looking for a loving lap to call her own. She adores being pet, held, and spending time with her favorite people—she’s happiest just sitting by your side. Despite her age, Maggie still enjoys exploring her surroundings and is quite spry! Maggie is diabetic, so she requires daily insulin injections and a prescription diet to keep her feeling her best. She’s a wonderful, affectionate companion who will make a fantastic addition to a calm and caring home. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loving cat to share your days with, Maggie might just be the perfect match! If you're interested in adopting Maggie, please fill out an Adopter Profile at www.parl.org/adopt and come in to meet her!
