GEMINI – 15728

*** SAFE 12/21/17 *** A volunteer writes: Her online description notes “Gray tabby.” Oh my, this little darling is SO much more. To me, she’s a light sparkly spring breeze, shimmying across her cat condo; a lovely introspective “CATalyst” thinking about how to bring more love to this world. This super sweet baby was at the top cat condo, so at first I couldn’t see her charming face! But as soon as I towered the vines to the tippy top of this Sugarsnap’s lair, she was Hospitality with a capital H! She enjoyed my company while she nibbled on a little dinner and as I watched her, I hoped, in my heart that a prince or princess charming would be arriving at her kitty cat condo door pronto! This sweet little tabby is on ballerina time- slow, smooth and delightfully gentle. And her hint of light green, expressive eyes will lasso you in for lingering lengths at a time. Having a visitor seemed to make her day. A dinner companion and just knowing someone was there with her, was all she needed. If I could’ve fit myself into her condo, I’m certain I would’ve crawled right in and joined her!
Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Gemini. My animal id is #15728. I am a male gray tabby cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 4 months 1 weeks old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 08-Dec-2017.
Gemini is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Gemini, whom we believe would be suitable for most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
