Buddy is an approximate 6 year old neutered male cat who was rescued from a vacant lot when he was approximately 1 or so. He came up to the rescue person for affectionate pets and was not scared at all. He has spent the past 5 years as a "healing" cat and companion for an elderly man, Joe who loved Buddy so much. Joe is entering a care facility. Buddy is very affectionate, loving and easy to get along with. He is a "lap cat" and can provide great companionship for a single person and/or family. He should be an indoor cat. I do not know how he would do with children though his personality seems he would be fine.
