Lisa Ray's Cutie Pawtutie of the Week
brought to you by Urban Paws
 |
A mischeviously playful six-month-old "teenager," Nemo is a soft grey tabby who is charming and agile and not above reaching his velvety paws around your shoulders for a cuddle and a purr! In fact, little Nemo will start his purr motor up if you even look like you're going to pick him up! As much as he loves to play, this guy loves to love as well.
Nemo is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and although super friendly, is recommended for a household with adults only.
ADOPTED |
Lisa Ray's Cutie Pawtutie of the Week is brought to you by Urban Paws, Kingston's largest independent pet foods and accessories store.
When you adopt a Cutie Pawtutie featured on this program you'll receive a gift courtesy Urban Paws.
