Pinocchio Seeks A New Home

Looking for a new (animal) member of your family? Check out Save-A-Pet.

They call me Pinocchio or Gizzy. I'll respond to either. Not to brag but I think I can pretty much say that I am one of the most outgoing cats around here, always looking for affection and petting.

I came from a home with cats and while I did great with the female cats, I was always extremely scared of the male cats. So if you hear me hissing, it is just because there are a lot of cats here and I try to let them know not to approach me. As you can imagine this gets quite stressful at times.

Luckily, I always find someone willing to pet me. As soon as you start paying attention to me, I always try to climb in your lap or in your arms. My family described me as a gentle and playful guy, and while I didn’t live with kids, they think that I would do well with them.
