“Hey, it’s my favorite time of the week again – time to introduce you to my friends! Meet my pal Archie here. He can be a bit shy, but you should take some time to get to know him like I have.” – Ducky
- Archie
- Domestic Long hair Orange/Red Tabby
- Neutered Male
- About 4 months old
- House trained
- Up to date on shots
- Corsicana, TX
Archie was found as an emaciated stray in September, starving and in immediate need of care. Thankfully a wonderful foster home nursed him back to health and he is ready for a home of his own.
He can be a bit shy due to his traumatic experience as a kitten so he will do best in a home with children 10 years old and above. He takes a bit to warm up, but Archie is a lovely kitten that is so deserving of his forever home. He will need to be an indoor cat only and will enjoy other feline companions.
