About Raggedy Andy

Raggedy Andy (or Andy) arrived at Good Mews hoping for a fresh start outside of county shelter life. This black-coated Domestic Long Hair keeps things lively, always chasing lasers or batting toys around. He’s loaded with energy, but when he’s had his fill of action, Andy melts into your arms for snuggles and attention. Give him gentle forehead and nose rubs and you’ll quickly win his loyalty—he’s especially appreciative thanks to his chronic congestion. Recently, Andy grew inseparable from another cat at the shelter named Hercules. These two are now a bonded pair and must go home together. Andy’s fun-loving spirit and affectionate side would be a good fit for a family seeking a playful, friendly companion (or two). Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
