Adopt a friend: Mohatu
MOHATU — DLH BUFF TABBY
Age: 6 years.
Story: Mahatu is a beautiful boy, he’s very curious and likes to know what’s going on, and can be a little mischievous if he thinks you’re “doing it wrong.” He can be a “snarky” kitty, preferring to do things his way, but can be persuaded with treats. He wants to be your only cat, and so would be best suited for a home without other pets. He also would be best in a home without small children, as he doesn’t know what to do with kids, and isn’t always patient with them.

Maisy is a smart girl, and learns new things fast. Maisy is a bit timid by nature. She doesn’t like loud noises and storms, but she is not destructive.
