GALLA – 9924
Safe - 10-22-2017 Manhattan
***SAFE 10/22/17*** ADORABLE GALLA IS A 6 WEEK OLD KITTEN WITH CONJUNCTIVITIS AND NEEDS A FOSTER HOME NOW!! The shelter said that Galla has “contageous” conjunctivitis – making it sound like some kind of horrible thing. Conjunctivitis is easily treated with an antibiotic ointment on the eyes. GALLA is a tiny tot so she is underweight and underage for adoption. She MUST be fostered throught a New Hope rescue. Fostering is free – rescues pay vet costs. IF YOU HAVE A SPARE ROOM, AND CAN TAKE THIS BABY FOR A SHORT TIME PLEASE APPLY TO FOSTER BUT YOU MUST DO IT BY NOON!!
Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Galla. My animal id is #9924. I am a female black tabby kitten at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 6 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 16-Oct-2017.
Galla 9924 is at risk for contagious conjunctivitis. Behaviorally, we do not yet have information on her behavior in a home environment, nor have we yet conducted an in-shelter behavior assessment, but overall Galla has been easy to handle in the care center.
