.

Breed/Colouring: Big orange Tabby

Hood: Vancouver

Habits: Lester can't get enough of playing with cotton balls, but will settle for other toys if he can't nab some cotton. He is an easygoing guy who I'm told is a wonderful roommate and who gets along splendidly with anyone and everyone (at least when he's not busy updating his Catbook.)

Hangouts: Lester's favorite spot is catching sunbeams on the balcony, though he snubs the balcony entirely in poor weather.

Name: Lester

Other Info: It took a few shuffles for Lester to have the loving and cozy life he has now. At only 3 years old he was surrendered to the shelter at Action for Animals in Distress where he was placed in foster care. Lester's foster put him up in a Craiglist ad in the same category as lamps and old couches (so sad!) where he got the attention of a VOKRA volunteer. VOKRA picked up Lester, and called his new buddy Penny who had requested  a big friendly orange cat some time before. It was a perfect match.

Here is Lester channeling every Santa photo of my childhood:
