That's Wally, my friends, not Waldo. Waldo is hard to find. Wally is not. Wally is one Big Guy. Wally has loonng Guy Cat legs, and he's friendly, very friendly, and he purrs. I'd like to be found, please. Now, please. Thank you.

The people here say that they found me walking around the parking lot out front. They think some other people left me there. Now, why would anyone do that? I'm fun, I'm smart, I'm friendly, and I purr. True, I do eat a lot - but I'm a Big Guy - not some dainty little fella. In fact, I spent a bit of time at the Vikings training camp - that's the kind of guy I am. I was going for a place as a defensive lineman. Along comes that surly coach and says, "Wait a minute. Wally Williams?? I don't think so. We have Pat Williams, and we have Kevin Williams. We do not have Wally Williams. Moreover, I do not trust linemen with fancy orange-ringed tails. So, put down that steak and vamoose!"

Can you imagine? I was even purring - and it wasn't all that big a steak. Hmmph! I prefer tuna and chicken, anyway. So, as I was saying, I'm friendly - did I say that? I am also quite curious, terribly clever, and seriously smart. I really want out of here - do not like living in a kennel - do not belong in a kennel. Do belong with you in your home. Would you let me watch the Williams guys sometimes? They're my heroes - although I'm much more cuddly than they are. Did I mention that I purr? I did, huh? Yes, I know that spunky child over there has a crush on me - just 'cause I'm so handsome.

Let's see: handsome, friendly, very friendly, smart, curious, a lot of fun - and much cuter and much more cuddly than Pat Williams....$100 earns you the nicest Big Guy - and the only NFL lineman with an orange tail ring. Tuna steak, please? Thank you.

PS: I currently reside at THE SHELTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about me, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
