WELCH – A1090920
Safe - 11-26-2016 Manhattan
SAFE 11/26/16 WONDERFUL WELCH WANTS A HOME!! A volunteer writes: Welch is a bit wary when I first open his door. Who is this stranger entering my bedroom, he must be thinking. But after an appropriately slow introduction, consisting of me sweet talking and him sniffing, we are friends. Soon, the best of friends. Turns out Welch is a huge lover of ear rubs and chin scratches. So I scratch and he rolls over on his head in delight. When I stop, he gets up and walks over to his bowl for a snack. Why eat alone, right? Welch is a cat that needs a human companion. Are you a human that needs a cat companion?

Reaction when softly spoken to: Welch looks at the assessor, and then averts his gaze. Reaction to cage door opening: Welch remains soft and relaxed.
