You too can love Romeo   



Romeo is the Green County Humane Society’s pet of the week. He is a neutered male, seven month old, domestic short haired, brown/grey tabby. He likes attention from people but can be very content on his own. He gets along well with other cats and is very spunky and playful. Please consider giving him a home so he doesn’t have to grow up in a cage.
