This snugglebug cat was surrendered after his owner felt the house was too rowdy for him with 7 children in the home. His previous owner said Louie was used to being an indoor/outdoor cat and a good mouser. He even comes to his name. Louie can be shy around new people, but he is used to brushing and enjoys being petted.
