CARROT TOP – 8091 aka A1126732
Safe - 10-10-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 10/10/17 **FIV POSITIVE** 10 year old Carrot Top was brought in as a stray. He walked out of the carrier purring. This boy has a URI, dental disease, is emaciated and has a heart murmur. He also tested positive for FIV. Carrot Top is probably happy for all the attention and food he has at the shelter but what he needs is a furever home where he can get follow up vet care.
