Meet Sebastian! This 2-year-old boy is STUNNING! He was originally found wandering stray but clearly was a house pet as he’s VERY social and definitely didn’t miss any meals. He is settling into his foster home and so far he’s a little scared of the dogs and unsure of the cats but we’re hoping he’ll come around to his new friends.
