FROSTY – A1099374
Gone - 1-10-2017 Brooklyn
***GONE 1/10/17*** Frosty is definitely one of the sweetest senior kitties here at BACC! This older fellow is always up for some attention; the vet even mentioned that his love of head-butting and his loud purrs actually interrupted his initial exam some! This lovable guy is excited to go to a loving forever retirement home for the holidays. He currently needs follow up medical care for his ear problems.
