Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Have you ever been lucky enough to meet a snuggletooth tiger? Introducing Crackles!

This gorgeous long-haired charmer has been melting hearts since his arrival as a stray on November 26. Crackles is estimated to be 13 months old. He has advised us that he would prefer to be your only feline, but he is so filled with love, you won’t need any others! Crackles is ready to go home with you – neutered, microchipped, vaccinated appropriate to age, and negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).

Crackles’ adoption fee is only $25 through December 31!
