While we have only had Loki for a brief time, we love him very much! He would have been a much loved addition to our family if he actually did get along with cats, as his prior family assured us. All animals deserve to feel safe and loved in their homes and while Loki did with us, our cats, sadly, did not. We are searching for a family that can provide him that same assurance.
