Fang is a handsome white-and-buff tabby who came to us from another rescue that couldn’t keep him any longer. He was going to be euthanized and they reached out to us to take him. He is a very friendly and outgoing cat. We gave him our basic veterinary care, including a neuter, worming, microchipping, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, FeLV/FIV test and a health certificate. He was quickly adopted by a loving family that was looking for a new cat during the Covid pandemic. He’s become an integral part of their household.
