SAFE 8/5/16 A volunteer writes: Blake came right out of his sleeping cubby when I opened his kennel door to say hello, and he jumped down from the shelf to let me rub his chin. Only after petting this sweet-natured guy for a while did I notice that he’s one of our older kitties. He doesn’t act his age, though, except that I suspect that he’d like to spend some quality time on someone’s lap! I think that what this lovely old guy needs is just a soft place to fall and a loving home where he can live out his days.
