I am pretty sure Im going to get this cat from a cat rescue group..... He is a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. His family got displaced and rescuers from California got him. He's 5 years old and declawed (poor critter) but has the best temperment and can be left home alone for 8 or 9 hours and longer! ....and when he's home, he wants to be cuddled by you. Ill keep you guys posted on how it goes.
