Meet Hercules, the most handsome boy you will ever see.

Hercules' personality is as a big as his fur coat and whiskers.

Hercules loves his fur coat and he loves anyone who will help him keep his coat looking smooth and soft.

If you have a brush and a warm lap, he is there.

Hercules is a very social cat.

Not only is he a real chatterbox with human, he also appears to get along well with other cat-friendly pusses.

Hercules ideal owner will need to be able to help him maintain his coat with lots of brushing as well as feeding him an appropriate diet for long haired cats.
