Found wandering in Montreal's Saint-Michel district in the fall of 2022, 3-year-old Koko, was very frightened of us. One day he seemingly woke up another cat, and now he loves humans! He rolls over for belly rubs and purrs loudly.
Give Koko his forever home; adopt him today ♥️

Footage was seen earlier today which showed Multiple Massive Explosions near the Greek City of Volos where Out-of-Control Wildfires are continuing to Rage; the Explosions are reported to be from a Arms Depot for the Hellenic Air Force which was unable to have its Munitions removed before the Fires reached the Facility.
