In the shelter’s words

Meet Lawson! Your Lap-Loving, Biscuit-Making Best Friend! Handsome Lawson is a charming brown tabby with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Sadly, we suspect Lawson's homelessness began when someone dumped him on a rural property, leaving him to fend for himself. Eventually, he ended up in a shelter where his future was uncertain. But the staff there recognized what a special boy he was and reached out to Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team because they simply couldn't bear to let this wonderful cat's story end that way. And we're so glad they did! Now Lawson is looking for the happy ending he deserves. This friendly fellow absolutely loves people and wants nothing more than to be close to you. Give him a lap, and he'll happily settle in, making biscuits as if he's kneading all the love in his heart right into you! He's affectionate, playful, and full of personality. He'll even chirp at you when you're preparing his food, as if he's reminding you that dinner is very important and he has been waiting ever so patiently! Lawson also gets along well with other cats, so he could be a great addition to a home with a friendly feline companion. Whether he's playing, chatting with you, making biscuits on your lap, or simply soaking up attention, he's sure to keep life entertaining. It's heartbreaking that such a loving cat may have been abandoned, but Lawson hasn't given up on people. He's ready to find a family who will love him as much as he loves them—and who will keep him safe for the rest of his life. Could Lawson be the missing piece of your family? Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip
