Meet Mel! This quirky little guy is about 2 years old and traveled to us all the way from Georgia. Mel is quite the character. He is always entertaining himself and will most definitely, entertain the lucky taker who adopts him. Mel is a big fan of toys, specifically his toy mice. He is talkative and sweet and is very in tune with his humans. Mel is not a fan of other cats or animals in the home and would probably do best in a home where he can be your one and only baby. This guy is full of spunk and charm and is ready to find people he can call his own.
