DINO – A1112272
Safe - 6-1-2017 Manhattan
*** SAFE 06/01/17 *** A volunteer writes: When I positioned my hand in front of Dino to say ‘hello,’ he extended his paw and placed it in my palm as if to say, “Please stay awhile.” Nothing is sweeter than a soft orange paw offered by a marmalade kitty. If you love mellow friendly guys who lean in for head and chin rubs, please come visit Dino at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. He is waiting for a safe place to call home.
THIS CUTIE HAS A VIDEO & NEW PHOTOS! DINO is 8 yrs old and has some dental issues which should be taken care of after adoption. Owner dumped for allergies – friendly cat.
