With his delightful personality, Theo loves to burrow into blankets, enjoys treats and puzzle feeders, and often sports his tiny tongue sticking out in the cutest way. Theo is pee-pad trained and gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to bring happiness to his forever family.
