ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Shiro is one of 100 cats that recently made the long trip from Kabul Small Animal Rescue in Afghanistan to the US to find their safe and forever homes. His foster says, "Shiro is actively affectionate, when someone walks into the room he jumps up and rubs on us and purrs. He also loves to play. He snuggles with my daughter sometimes at night. He doesn't like to be held. And he really loves treats!"
