Meet Parker. Yes, both pictures are the same big, sweet cat. Lighting definitely makes a difference! Parker, super smart boy that he is, showed up at the back door of a vet's office. He was taken in and checked out, vaccinated and neutered, and now is hanging out at Chipper & Coco, waiting for his perfect person(s) to find him. He is laid back and loves to be petted and scratched. He LOVES creamy treats too! Now all he needs is a safe and loving home (indoor only) and people to make his happiness complete. He is SOOOO ready to be someone's love bug. He is approximately a year old -- so he is full grown. Seems to get along with other cats and is not bothered by dogs. Come see our sweet Parker and see if he is not exactly what you need.
