Hello, my name is Persia. My animal id is #16313. I am a desexed female gray cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 8 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 17-Dec-2017.
Persia is at risk for medical concerns. Persia has chronic kidney disease(CKD) and will require follow up with an outside veterinary hospital. Although there is no definitive cure for CKD, treatment can improve and prolong the lives of cats with this disease. Persia has been friendly and allows all handling while in our care.
My medical notes are…
