HOWDY PILGRIM! Meet The Duke! So named because of an old injury or congenital abnormality that makes him walk bow-legged, just like John Wayne! He's a super nice dude, very friendly and social, loves to be with all the people he meets, loves to be pet and kissed on the head, and is also a great sidekick and couch potato cat -- he likes to ride side-saddle, half on your lap, half on the couch. The Duke is ready to hit the range and round up the bad guys with you! He will make a great companion to people of all ages, including young children. However, Duke is not fond of other cats. He's not physically aggressive with them, but it's clear he doesn't want a cat for a companion. He didn't seem to mind a dog he saw briefly at the shelter, so if you're interested in getting his opinion on a dog, we'll introduce him to one more closely and he'll let us know! Duke is estimated to be 5 years old, and is neutered, current on vaccinations, box-trained, and tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. He has also received dewormers and flea treatments. Adoption fee is $125. Personal checks are accepted from R.I. residents only; all others may pay by credit/debit card or money order, payable to Town of Scituate. No cash is accepted.
