People helping pets...pets helping people. Carmine is a 4yr old shorthaired orange tabby
with white on his face, chest, feet and belly. He came to us when his owner went into assisted living. She had 12 cats. We got 8 of them. Carmine is a shy guy but has started coming out and about for pets and ear rubs.Carmine has been an indoor only cat. He enjoys hanging out on our fenced in porches and watching the birds and squirrels at the feeders. Carmine does well with the other cats. He likes to perch up high so he can keep an eye on everyone and everything going on around him. Carmine will be at the Poulsbo Petco this week hoping to meet his new family.
