About Sweeney

Although he might not be a fan of having his picture taken, Sweeney absolutely loves attention—he gets so excited that he starts to drool while being petted! Previously, he lived harmoniously with other cats and is housetrained. Sweeney is eager to bond with a loving family and would make a wonderful companion.
