He loves to receive head and ear scratches and he’ll make a wonderful, loving companion for the lucky family who adopts him. Are you looking for cat just like Beckett? Come in to meet this young boy today! “Hi, I’m AMBER. I’ve been at BrightSide for a whole year and staff and I are not sure why, since I love any and all humans! I have manners and know many commands. I should probably be the only animal in the house, but I can walk by other animals outside and even walk alongside my dog buddies at the shelter every day! I just get better and better with age. Please come meet me!” SPONSORED BY YOUR PET-FRIENDLY REALTOR!
