WASHINGTON – Ironman, a 1-year-old domestic shorthair tabby, is looking for a home.
The cat from Baltimore is a “typical teenager,” says the Washington Animal Rescue League. He’s full of energy and always ready to play.
He’s also super smart, and has been learning “sit” and how to walk on a harness. Ironman would love an adopter that could teach him tricks and give him plenty of opportunities to play and go for walks on a leash and harness.
WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Ironman, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.
