KION – A1117939
Safe - 8-28-2017 Brooklyn
SAFE 8/28/17 Kion’s former owner stated that he has ringworm as per their personal vet, though ACC’s vets have not been able to determine why Kion was supposedly diagnosed in this way. This cutie is a bit shy, but apparently healthy (we are currently attempting to get his owner’s medical records in hopes that they explain the possible ringworm diagnosis).
