Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Senior Peanut Has Lots Of Love Left

ALEXANDRIA, VA — At Patch, we regularly feature adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria to find them forever homes.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria runs the city's animal shelter and provides other animal services. It has a range of pets to choose from, including cats, dogs and smaller pets.

One of the available pets is Peanut, a senior who has lots of love to give a new family.

Here's more information on Peanut:

They say things get better with age. Senior kitty gentleman Peanut would surely agree. At 13 years old, Peanut has lived a full life, but he's definitely not done yet! This soulful orange tabby guy is sociable, calm, sweet and oh-so affectionate. He likes to hang by the door, so as not to miss any passersby that could potentially be lured into a chin scratch session. As soon as he's convinced you that a quick head rub is in order, you'll be soothed by Peanut's constant purring. Peanut does have diabetes, BUT his new family will go home with an insulin starter pack to keep him healthy. He will need a family who is willing to take on a little added medical costs to keep him healthy. Peanut is hoping you'll take a chance on an old man with lots of love yet to give.
