This just in from Marti Ryan, spokeswoman for the county's animal services department:

He only wanted to curl up with a good book for the holidays, but Professor Mo was turned into the shelter by an owner with no time to care for him. 

This two-year old male orange tabby is keenly smart, attentive, and affectionate.  He won't ask your IQ, either.  

Adopt Professor Mo (ID#1496888) fully neutered/vaccinated/microchipped and licensed at Hillsborough County Animal Services on Falkenburg Road. For more information, go to www.hillsboroughcounty.org.
