Shelter Sketches: Meet A179217

I know that it doesn’t matter to animals if they have names or not. That said, it’s still sad to see whole pages of cats and dogs on Petfinder who are sorted in the same way we might sort books in a library or merchandise in a store. I’m reminded of something that Gandhi once said:

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

    Look at those eyes! He is a handsome handsome cat and I hope somebody gives me a name soon. This is a really good one, Chelsea. I’m sending good thoughts to this little man.
