About Danvers the Cat
Danvers (Dan to his friends) is a three-year-old domestic medium hair, rescued from Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue Society. Once the king of his block, Danvers now enjoys the indoor kitty life with his two moms in downtown Edmonton. When Danvers isn’t waiting (im)patiently for his dinner, he can be found enjoying calming TV for cats on YouTube, head booping his uncle Hunter, or napping in one of his mom’s laundry baskets.
