Oh Romeo 😔🥺 Romeo’s owner passed away… he lost his best friend 💔 Romeo was then taken in by a neighbor, but they became allergic. Now sweet Romeo is frightened and confused, living in a noisy shelter. His whole world changed, and so he hides in his bed, too scared to come out. To help this 5-year-old adjust to all of the changes in his life, he will be staying in a foster home. To meet him please call 954-989-3977 x.6 ❤️ #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #adoptme #cat #catsoftiktok #catlover #sadcat
