“I’m one good looking dude named Samson, and the ladies just love my piercing golden eyes. Are you mesmerized yet? They usually work like a charm!

Butterfinger is the featured Pet of the Day at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter.

“I am the most handsome golden long-haired tabby. Miss Sandi and Miss Bev, of course, are fighting over time spent with me. I was a stray, but I am healthy and so very handsome. I was pretty noisy when Miss Sara brought me in, but it didn’t take any time to warm up to Miss Beverly’s loving arms. She thought I looked like a big yummy Butterfinger. I don’t really like being stuck in this cage. This is really no place for such an HQ guy like me! I need out…see you Tuesday!” [Read more…]
