If you are looking for action,
check out JACKSON! This
good-looking boy came to us
as a sibling in an unplanned
litter that the owner could
no longer care for. He is
extremely responsive with
some friendly introductions.
Once comfortable, he’s
as charming as can be!
JACKSON is an indoor-
only kinda guy, not much
for the outdoor life yet, and
loves attention from people.
JACKSON is a good boy; any
family would be lucky to
have him become a part of
their clan.
