Introducing Purcey
I would like to introduce the newest member of our family. His name is Purcey….because he Purrs! Weâve had him since last Saturday but first visited and âchoseâ him 6 weeks ago – itâs been agony keeping him secret (just in case anything went wrong). Dad was a Ragdoll and Mum was a Ragdoll/Maine Coon […]
