Hello, all,
Someone lost an orange cat last week, and there has been a male
(unneutered) orange tiger striped cat hanging out in the alley between
t and Todd and summit and second ne. He appears to be tame and is
hungry. I have been feeding him a bit (he gets some of the alley cats'
food). If you think he could be yours, email me at slogan87@gmail.com.
Thanks Continue reading ...
