This cutie was born approx Nov 2023.
Update from foster home
Birch definitely has a big personality, he likes to follow me around everywhere he is big on spending time together which I adore! He’s very playful and becoming more cuddly!!! He is extremely friendly with anyone he has met and is just happy to be spending time with someone! He’s become a real love bug ??
