***Update~ Louie found a home!*** Courtesy post~ Louie is in need of a new home. This is Louie, he truly is such a sweet boy but over the last few months has been more anxious around kids so would really benefit from a kid free calmer house. He is an indoor cat but does like to go outside on a leash once in awhile and or in a catio! He just turned 4 in August. He is up to date on his vaccines and is neutered. Louies family had him vet checked to make sure he had no health issues and except for the anxiety around children he is healthy. If you think you have the right home for Louie please *** LOUIE ISN'T AT THE SHELTER***
