Attractive and Adorable. Attentive and Angelic. Atlas Awaits.
Atlas at your service. I'm a big gentleman (okay, I'm a little over-sized!) of about ten. I am, simply put, quite a pleasure to be around. Laid back and easy going, I love everyone! I enjoy my meals and a good pet daily. I'm a bit uneasy about kitten season-- you see, I'm afraid I'll get passed up for those spunky little guys ... but what you see here is what you get. No surprises from me. I've been waiting patiently since last November for the purr-fect family! Yours, Atlas.
