I really must apologize: I am a boring cat. I have no issues, no injuries, no dramas and no odd, endearing quirks.

My name is Banshee, the wildest thing about me. I should be called “Mr. Invisible,” because no one notices me. I’ve been here for months and it’s the same old story: I’m totally ignored.

The world is filled with black and white cats, which is a problem if you’re a black and white cat sitting in a shelter hoping to be adopted. “Walk On By” should be my theme song.

Eight years ago I was a surprise gift, a little kitten left on someone’s doorstep on Christmas morning. I lived with three other cats and had such fun, but my family has moved away and couldn’t take me with them, so here I am, no longer a kitten and months away from another Christmas.

I do think I’m handsome, with white paws and a white chest. I have huge whiskers and green eyes. I’m healthy and clean, well-mannered and easygoing. I have no medical issues, I love to be brushed and I enjoy having my head petted.

I can be shy, but I warm up quickly. I enjoy sleeping in the sun (indoors, please) and I sometimes get the urge to sit in a human’s lap and enjoy an evening of watching television. I’d be a good companion because I’m not needy or high maintenance.

Living with other cats would be great fun, as I do miss the companionship. Give me a string toy and a couple of feline pals to play with and I’m one happy guy. I’m not a fussy eater and I’m accustomed to children over the age of 10.

Look, folks, I’m no Mr. Excitement, but I’m a laid-back cat with a good attitude and pleasant disposition. What more could you humans want?

Abby, our sweet black Lab, is still recovering from her operation. She is walking well, but it will be a few months before we’ll know exactly how successful the surgery was. She has made lots of new friends during her vet visits and has quite a few fans. If you’re interested in adopting a great dog, give us a call.
