*** SAFE 11/21/17 *** BOTH LISTED TONIGHT! Two senior bros., Jamie & Peyton! They came in together and they hope to find their forever family together @MACC. A volunteer writes: Peyton is an exceptionally handsome chap. A long-haired gent with orange and white fur, white paws, which look like socks, and a big bushy orange and white raccoon-like tail. Peyton greeted me with chin rubs and head butts. Then I brought out a comb and went to work grooming his long fur coat. He was in heaven! The more I combed, the louder he purred. He was so happy! He licked my face and touched my nose with his, giving me an “Eskimo kiss.” Cupid’s arrow hit me. I was smitten! Want a handsome and loving cat? Peyton is waiting for you.
**10 year old PEYTON needs some TLC and follow up care. He was found abandoned in a house and brought to the shelter. Peyton is friendly and would love to be your new best friend!
