I have Clinics in most West African and UK Cities. I once ran a Vet clinic and pet shop in 121 Dothan Road Abbeville, Al 36310-2904. I have a client who's interested in your lovely pet and also willing to pay me anything i charged to bring it to his lovely home, he's a pet lover and he paid us visit every week for treatment to his pet. He wants to package your pet as a secret gift for his wife birthday coming up soon.

I think that if these folks really wanted a cat, they could find tons of them locally, without trying for my cat who is up for adoption here in Oregon. I'm sure there are even short haired/similarly colored torties too!
