Costello
Age: 1 year
Story: This gorgeous house panther is a sweet, gentle kitty. He came to us as a tiny kitten and has been looking for his forever family ever since. He is quiet and a little shy, but he has a huge "purr-box" once he gets snuggles. He's young and can be playful, but also loves snoozing in the sunshine. He gets along with other kitties quiet well, but we're not sure if he's met any dogs.
