Plenty of Pets
Odin is a seven-month-old boy who loves to talk, play and eat.
He’s a busy guy during the day but likes to snuggle up with people at night. He gets along well with other cats. Active dogs make him nervous but a calm one in the same home should be fine.
Odin is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for parasites.
He is available for adoption through CARMA Cat Rescue, Colchester chapter (formerly Wayward Cats) and his adoption fee is $175.
For more information, visit the Facebook page or website, email [email protected] or call 902- 957-8677.
