Big boy Al is looking for a home to call his own.

The eight-year-old tabby cat is in the care of the Okanagan Humane Society after his guardian could no longer care for him after having a stroke.

After living a solitary life with his pal, Al is now in foster and hoping to find a home that will show him the love his prior guardian once did.

Al is good with cats and dogs and can even go outside during the daytime if in a confined yard, not near a busy street. He is not as fond of children as he is a quieter home.

He is a larger cat, which means he likes to show his stuff and patrol the house looking for bad guys or snacks, whichever may come first.

If you are in need of a cat looking for a job and some love, then Al is your guy. He will track down unwanted pests such as mice and will lay on your bed for pets at night.

He isnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t one to be picked up until youÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ve truly become friends.

If you are interested in Al call Romany in Kelowna 250-862-1794.
