MANHATTAN CENTER
Hello, my name is Raisin. My animal id is #18477. I am a desexed female white cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 16-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as animal health – other.
Original Location: 10473
Raisin is at risk for medical reasons. Raisin presented at the shelter with a large open excoriation along the right side of her face/ear base, which is reported to have persisted for two months. We suspect that this is a self inflicted wound resulting from discomfort caused by an ear infection. Raisin is also anaemic and suffering azotemia, and is slightly underweight. We are unable to adequately treat Raisin in the shelter. We have not conducted a formal behavior assessment of Raisin, who has been a little difficult to handle in the shelter, but probably due to her level of discomfort.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 5.6 lbs
