Hi Neighbor!
Here’s the thing about make-up: it is “made up,” if you will. Products designed and created to cover up our flaws, to create a persona more unnatural than ourselves while simultaneously trying to make us look natural, and to encourage us to spend more money in pursuit of the elusive Fountain of Youth.

It was rough for Gaston's first 4 years of life in a hoarding house but an upside is that he has grown comfortable with other cats. Gaston can easily carry on a conversation, chirping to get your attention. It's easy to become his best friend by giving him wet food and a ball to kick around the room. With his snazzy new buzz cut and up to date on all his shots, neutered and microchipped, Gaston is ready for his furever home! Gaston longs to experience consistent affection and maybe meet new friends in a loving home of his own.
