I'm Quarterback, Adopt Me!
Domestic Shorthair Mix | Young | Male

Seven-month-old Quarterback is a charming guy with a heart of gold. A loving touch is all it takes for this kitty to roll on his side and softly purr but he also has a playful side. He is currently looking to be someone's cuddly companion and playmate. Quarterback would do best in a home where he can play and snuggle at his heart’s content.

Quarterback's adopter must be at least 18 years old with valid-state issued identification. ARF encourages family members to participate in the adoption process, especially children. Please visit ARF's web site for information on adoption and to view more great cats.
