Deuteronomy (Deuter for short) is a 12-year-old male Persian cat (ID No. A473571). Deuter is a sweet, friendly, loving and affectionate guy.

He loves being petted head to tail and enjoys having both cheeks gently scratched while you kiss the top of his head. He also enjoys a good scratch behind his ears. He likes being held and looking out the window. In fact, he would probably enjoy a nice window perch in his new forever home. Deuter has a quiet purr and will knead in appreciation.

Deuter does have a hyperthyroid, which will most likely require special medicine. He also recently had a skin tag removed (hence the funny lion cut).

He is litter box trained, neutered, current on vaccinations and micro-chipped. You can find out more on his Pet Finder profile at www.petfinder.com/petdetail/33291181/.
