NUTMEG – 17525
Safe - 1-10-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 1/10/18 VIDEO TO WATCH! A volunteer writes: I hesitate to draw attention to Nutmeg, for fear of starting a stampede. It’s not because he’s stunning, with that long Russian Blue looking coat. It’s because, all that beautiful handsomeness comes attached to a personality to die for. Nutmeg sat regally as I stroked each of his cheeks, and when I stopped, he looked up as if to say, “excuse me, but I didn’t hear the timer sound the end of our session.” Here is the most amazing thing — he’s a big boy, not chubby, but long and tall (underneath that fluffy coat) – and I found him a few hours later lying across the length of his kennel, flat on his back. I have always thought that a cat lying on his back is showing signs of supreme comfort, confidence and trust. If he’s like this in a public cat adoption room, imagine what he will be like in your home. Oh, my Nutmeg boy, I know you are destined for a life of unending love and luxury.
**Handsome Nutmeg needs a furever home!
