Randy is a 12lb adult, feline gentleman in a handsome grey tabby and white coat, and he’s just about the definition of lover-boy! When you sit down, Randy sees it as his personal invitation to join you. Randy will happily curl up by your side or stretch out seeking any rubs or pets you are willing to offer.
