We have to rehome him because our environment isn’t safe. My parents let him out and he has become an outdoor/indoor cat, it is not safe for cats outside. I’m still grieving over the loss of my previous missing cat. We rescued Pollen from someone who was planning to dump him on side of road. Pollen is a beautiful male cat in need of a loving home. He is okay with cats, but he has never been around dogs.
