***SAFE 10/01/17*** SHY AND AFFECTIONATE WATSON PLAYS GENTLY WITH CHILDREN AND WANTS TO BE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!! Watson and housemate, Rain (not listed tonight) were brought to shelter when owner got sick. Watson is shy at the shelter because he does not know why he is there and where his owner went? Watson was said to love chasing laser pointers and sleeping in his cat tower or on the foot of the bed. Sounds like a purrfect kitty to have a home. WHY NOT ADOPT WATSON NOW? RESERVE HIM BY NOON!
