Pete is a handsome black and white adult male cat who has been at the shelter for 8 years! Pete used to be a bit shy and cautious around new people, but over the years he has developed into such a friendly and sweet guy! Pete has a dainty, quiet meow, but he is actually rather chatty. He loves wet food and soft pets. Pete generally does not like being picked up, but that could always change in a home of his own. Pete is gentle and polite around other cats, but would probably do best in a quiet home without small children or dogs. Pete's estimated date of birth is 5/1/14. **PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** If you are interested in applying for the potential adoption of this pet, and to expedite the process, please read about our adoption and shelter visitation policy on our website at www.animalserviceleagueny.org.
