MINESTRONE – 23762
Safe - 4-8-2018 Manhattan Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
SAFE 4/8/18 MINESTRONE was found with his housemates in apartment after owner died. They were there at least 2 weeks without food or water, and some were in cages. Minestrone is very dehydrated and underweight. He is already neutered and needs a home where he can get some TLC. Meet Minestrone, Flannel, and Othello: The answer is that they are all beautiful cats at MACC in need of some TLC! These cats came from the same home with quite a few other cats, but do not need to stay together. These three cuties have had poor or no appetites since coming in, and would benefit from a calm, quiet place where they can relax, decompress, and put on some weight!! Please help them today!
