Story
Located in Des Moines, IA. This is Tyrion. 5 year old male. Incredibly affectionate and a perfect lap cat. He is neutered and up to date on shots and vaccines. He has lived with both cats and dogs and would do well on his own, or with a couple other friends. He was my mom's who unfortunately passed away last summer, and I sadly cannot keep him given my current living situation. Free to a loving home.
