Jenn, I think this is what she meant. Hopefully, a great home can be found for him instead...though if this is a non-kill shelter, I think he'd be adopted in a heartbeat!

I had an offer from a Northern Indiana Rescue to take him but they are hours away.
DizzyWhiz, I thought of two reasons you might have named him Patton:

1. He's been through the wars and made it
2. He is real love bug who wants lots of PATTIN'!!

Can you set up a spot for him in your garage? With the blanket he now knows?
