Minion is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy for both of you that you found each other (I guess, more for you, because you sound like happier than him, he-he). Kept my fingers for you not to find that chip, how cruel are some people... he's declawed, right? Well, I am glad Minion had no chip.
Concerning the allergies... I think, people here in Moldova are not so allergic like in the US. Why is that?
