Arion is a silly boy who is incredibly playful. He loves chasing everything from feathers to fingers, his eyes will get wider as he watches things move along the floor in front of him. He can often be very cuddly and has been known to plant himself on the lap of a person for a while, purring away as you scratch his ears.
Because of his playful nature, Arion may be best suited in a home with older children.
We are currently in dire need for donations of dry, non-coloured, cat and kitten food. Any donation is greatly appreciated and may be dropped off at the main shelter.
Our satellite locations are looking for volunteers! If you are interested, please come on down to Cats on Queen located on Queen Street or For the Love of Cats located on Montrose Road.
