I am sweet, like candy for the soul and I can just melt your heart by just gazing into my big golden eyes. I am very affectionate. I love attention and will just roll around waiting for more. I also love to play. The laser light makes me really happy. And boy do I go for it, with my big furry feet sliding every which way trying to dive on that red dot. Oh what fun. Another thing that makes me happy is food, especially can food and treats. When I’m not playing or eating, I like to hang out in the cat tree. I get along with other cats. I am allergic to fl eas, so make sure you treat me regularly for those little buggers. If you would like to meet Rolo or any of his friends, please visit us at: OREGON COAST HUMANE SOCIETY 2840 Rhododendron Drive • Florence • 541-997-4277 www.oregoncoasthumane.org Meals on Wheels are available to people over the age of 60 who cannot get out much due to illness or advanced age and who are not eating properly, regardless of income.
