I stopped by cheddar Boys kennel to give him the usual good morning. He immediately got up from his loaf to greet me with some soft meows and head bumps. This sweet old man has my heart. He adores his cuddles, head rubs and bumps, and just getting all the love he can handle. I cant wait for this old soul to find his soulmate.

Per Staff 10/22:
Cheddar Boy is very friendly! I went to say hello, and he was loafing in front of his kennel. He sniffed my hand briefly, and allowed me to pet him all over. He seemed to enjoy all pets, but especially appreciated butt scratches, beginning to relax his face into a smile & purring loudly.
