Re: Piggyback gardening

Kitty: He is a sweetheart of an animal...so obviously a wannabe
housecat...not neutered, still has claws intact...but so gentle it is
amazing. We're continuing to actively look for a home for him...our
local animal shelter charges $25 if you bring in a stray, otherwise I'd
take him there...I am sure they would have no problems placing him as he
is so sweet natured...
