Biggs is a five-year-old, medium-haired super affectionate neutered male cat. Biggs lost his eye to an infection but is all healed now. He doesn't do well with other cats, maybe with another docile cat, and may need to be monitored when let outside to his vision. To adopt Biggs, contact Sammie's Friends Animal Shelter at 14647 McCourtney Road in Grass Valley, at 530-471-5041 or http://www.sammiesfriends.org.
