Bunny-soft and burly cat Brad is ready to be a great family’s great boy! He’s a very curious and companionable guy who has a dignified manor and appreciates a little extra time to cozy up. He warms up quickly and enjoys being in your lap or nearby for ear scratches and comfy naps. He has been around other cats and a little bit around kids. Handsome Brad hopes to bring his gentlemanly manner to a great home where he will be just the affectionate fellow to fill welcoming hearts! Brad is available for adoption from Cat House on the Kings.
