SAFE 3/18/18 Handsome Senior Siamese boy Puff is ready to curl up in your [email protected] A volunteer writes: With fur of smokey bone white, and just a whisper of grey mixed throughout, this sweet gentleman is one for the snuggly record books. And with his gentle demeanor, love of head butts and glorious dreamy blue eyes, this lovely lad should be be spending his golden years lusciously cuddled up in piles of the finest cashmere! He didn’t want me to stop petting him, and when I finally did, he quietly laid back down like the darlingly poised sweetheart that he is! Grab me a blanket–I might just cuddle up with Puff for the evening!!

14 year old PUFF was dumped by his owner. He is neutered, but has tachycardia, is emaciated, and is suspect to have hyperthyroidism. PUFF needs further medical eval to determine if this is the case. He is in need of a new home asap where he can get the care he needs.
