Jeff from A Couple of Harrys has a cat that needs a home. From his bulletin: “I have a cute orange tabby cat about a year old that needs a home. He’s very sweet, likes to cuddle and play, rolls on his back a lot, likes to be rubbed, doesn’t scratch fabric, is litter box trained, doesn’t puke from eating too much”. If you live in the L.A. area and are interested, go message him on their MySpace! Look how cute he is!
