Silliest

Name: Louie
Fun Fact: “Louie is my first lion kitty. He has a real mane and a loud purr.
An interesting fact about Louie is that he suckles himself. He lays down on his side and sticks his tongue out. His fur gets all wet and he purrs big time!
Poor little fella was definitely taken away from his mom too early. He is funny, sweet and a great protector. Please adopt him. Don’t shop.”
