Adoptable Arlington Pet: Finnegan The Quirky Cat

ARLINGTON, VA — If you're thinking about adopting a furry friend, consider a local humane society like the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. The shelter works with private rescue groups and other shelters to place animals where they have the best chance for adoption.

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington rescues dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and more.

One of these animals is Finnegan, a domestic shorthair male cat who is eight years old.

Finnegan's description says he is "the kind of cat everybody wants as their roommate - quiet, affectionate (but not too clingy) and never leaves dishes in the sink. "

"Finnegan has a few cute 'quirks' that just make him even more love-able: he loves to play in the tub and bat at the water dripping from the faucet, he's a front-paw declaw but still likes to 'scratch' things (albeit ineffectively), and when he wants pets, he will gently reach his paw out, and pull your hand in for more chin scratches," the description says.
