About Monte Cristo

Monte Cristo is a sweet, gentle boy who craves companionship. He loves to be right by your side, whether curled up on your lap or nestled next to you. He thrives on affection, enjoying pets and cuddles, and if your hand stops too soon, he’ll nudge you with his dainty paw, asking for more. His soft, expressive eyes will surely melt your heart. This little guy is playful and energetic, zipping around the backyard and chasing after squeaky tennis balls. He’s an expert fetcher and would benefit from a fenced yard in his new home for all that energy.
