Featured Pet - Tommy
This weeks featured pet is Tommy. When he was a young kitten, Animal Control took Tommy from a hoarder--along with 24 other cats and kittens. Despite his rough start, he is a sweet, affectionate boy with silky, soft fur and beautiful classic tabby swirls. He enjoys playing with all types of toys, but his favorite is the laser pointer.
