This week, Beth Watson introduces us to 2 lovable cats named Stanley & Preacher available for adoption at the Baypath Humane Society.
"Preacher: - 2 year 1 month old male domestic shorthair / mix
Preacher is a fun loving sweet guy. He lives for attention. He enjoys a good head scratch and to be petted. Preacher loves to play as well but can get a little frisky and mouthy at times. He would do well in home with other cats and older children. He has a real chill type of personality."
