Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Optimus Prime is a prime example of tabby purr-fection.

This big lovebug is all about the pets & ear skritches, and we guarantee you are going to fall in love on first meeting! OP arrived as a stray in December and is estimated to be 2 years old. He hasn’t advised us yet on how he feels about other felines, but we always recommend a slow and patient introduction.

OP is ready to go home with you – neutered, microchipped, vaccinated appropriate to age, and negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).
