Attention all big cat lovers! Don’t miss your chance to adopt a cat that will fill your lap and your heart.

Rowdy is a large, solid cat. You can feel his muscles when you pick him up. He also has big cheeks that you will want to pinch when you meet him. He probably won’t mind because he has a very easy-going temperament.

Rowdy is one of those laid-back, lovable lumps that is happiest when he is lounging around in the softest place he can find.

The best thing about nine-year-old Rowdy is that he likes kittens. He is in the back room at Responsible Pet Care where some of the kittens run around. They take turns snuggling with him and he loves them all.

This large, lover-boy would be a good choice for a man. However, if you are a woman and you think you are in love Rowdy will be very happy being the new man in your life.
