Ferris is such a sweet little guy. He is the last of his siblings that is looking for a home, and he has so much love to give to a family. He is very cuddly, loves to play, and he is really laid back. He also loves his naps, so he would be a great companion to sit and relax with. Ferris would be a great addition to any family looking to welcome a new forever friend into their home. Visit Ferris at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
