I love to play, whether it's with a squeaky toy or a fun game of fetch. I have a knack for making people smile with my playful antics. After a good play session, there's nothing I love more than snuggling up on a warm lap for a nap. I've got these big green eyes that people tell me are pretty special. I think they're just a window to my loving soul. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share all my love and playfulness. Adopting me means gaining a loyal, sweet, and playful companion who will bring joy to your life every day.
