At this time, we believe, and our vets agree, that he is happy and deserving of a loving family and a soft landing for his forever home. We are looking for a special family to adopt him and spoil him rotten for the time he has left. How long will that be? We aren’t sure, but he’s going to spend every minute being the sweet, awesome guy he is.
