Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Mr. Slippers Is A Cozy Companion

ALEXANDRIA, VA — If you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, consider starting your search at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Patch regularly features adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, which coordinates adoptions for animal shelter pets and provides other animal and pet owner services.

Families looking for a soft pet will find no better companion than Mr. Slippers. This cool cat will let you pet his soft coat and would happily accept pets and treats.

Here's more information on Mr. Slippers:

Mr. Slippers is a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat with the coolest (and comfiest) name. Mr. Slippers has a beautiful, sandy-colored coat that is so soft. He is also very outgoing and loves to meet new friends. He's always on the lookout for new visitors! He tries to convince passersby to come visit him by meowing and waving his little paw through the kennel door. Once he ropes you in, he politely asks for pets and chin scratches. He loves playing with his wand toy and munching on crunchy Temptations treats. Mr. Slippers would make a wonderful, affectionate companion!
