Arrival Story:
We thought our cat at the time, Betty, would like a buddy. We went to the animal shelter looking for a kitten. All of the other kittens shrunk back in their cages when we walked by, but Grendel stayed right at the front, pawing at us and meowing. When we took him out of his cage, he rolled over in my lap for a belly rub. We knew then and there that he was going home with us! He was our $15 bargain.

Bio:
Grendel is more like a dog than a cat. He greets us when we arrive home, follows us around the house, loves the dogs more than the cats, and greets new people by jumping up, placing his paws on them and giving a giant stretch. He even bites on occasion, but for some reason he mainly bites his grandma - he really loves her!
