Pet of the Week: Sleepy
Meet Sleepy, a 1-year-old domestic short hair with a heart as big as his playful streak! This handsome neutered boy is microchipped, fully vaccinated, and up to date on flea/tick prevention and dewormer. Sleepy came to us about 6 months ago as part of an owner surrender group. He’s an independent guy who enjoys quiet moments but comes alive when it’s playtime—especially if he’s got a kitty friend to join in the fun.
Sleepy is house-trained and gets along well with other cats and children, making him a great fit for many homes.
