About Franklin

Meet Franklin, a large and lovable fellow who tips the scales at around 20 pounds. This gentle giant takes some time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he'll become a cherished companion. Franklin is affectionate and loves attention, often rolling over to show his belly to those he trusts. Originally surrendered due to his previous owner's move to a pet-restricted area, Franklin has a bit of a story. He has cohabited with other cats and has demonstrated the ability to get along with them. There’s a chance he could adapt well to a multi-cat home. Additionally, he's lived with dogs before, but due to his shy nature, it’s best for potential dog owners to introduce them slowly. His comfort level with children isn’t clear, so any young visitors should approach carefully. Franklin is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, making him ready for a loving home. If you’d like to meet this big-hearted potato, please visit the shelter with all family members. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
