Chowder

5 year-old male

Chowder is new to FAR and is still acting like a clam (pun intended) by hiding in the cat tree. He has been with several cats previously, so we suspect that he will be out and about soon. Chowder will allow you to rub on his face and pet him while in his man cave, so it is only a matter of time. It seems he only needs some love, attention and a little patience. We anticipate great fun in the future with this handsome guy. Adoption fee is $35. Call 480-488-9890.
