PARIS — Pumpkin has his box packed with some of his favorite foods and toys. He’s ready to leave Responsible Pet Care. All he needs now is his forever person.
Ten-year-old Pumpkin is a large, red cat. He’s quiet and easy to get along with. He loves to explore empty boxes, and he loves his treats. When it comes to wet food, Pumpkin is not too proud to beg. He has learned to sit pretty when he is offered a handful of food.
Pumpkin is in his box and ready to be delivered. All he needs is an address.
