Update: Adopted! Loving cat found in Russell Springs, now at GRAS 2015-04-02 - Green River Animal Shelter, 455 Appleby Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Megan. Update: This Cat adopted 8 Apr 2015, after 6 days of online fame. This cat was found in Russell Springs last night. He is tame and very loving. The first time he met me he was running his face all over me and giving me lots of affection. I don't know how he is with children but I wouldn't doubt him being super friendly. This is an amazing cat, perfect for an inside pet. If you're interested in meeting him he is at the Green River Animal Shelter. He is already neutered and has had his first set of vaccines.
