As the holidays approach, now is a great time to get a jump start on sharing your charitable spirit. Open your home to a cat who needs a place to stay.

Meet Murtaugh from Crash's Landing.

Crash's Landing is a non-profit, no-kill cat rescue center.  Since opening in Grand Rapids in 2002, Crash's Landing has helped more than 2,500 cats. But there is still work to be done.

Every Friday on 100.5 The River is Purrrfect Friday, where we feature a cat from Crash's Landing that needs a home.

This week, we're spotlighting Murtaugh.

Murtaugh arrived at Crash's Landing one day after they received a call about him on February 4, 2015. Murtaugh was found by a Wyoming resident who gave him some food and took care of him until Crash's Landing could arrive.

Murtaugh was likely born in early 2007. He was in rough shape upon arrival at Crash's Landing. Murtaugh had an eye infection and flea allergy dermatitis. He had a bad tooth that needed extracting. Lab work showed that he was also suffering from early-stage kidney disease.

Murtaugh is a very friendly cat. He loves lounging in the sun, purring loudly and snuggling next to his favorite people.

Murtaugh would make a great addition to your family!
