***SAFE 12/10/17*** RELLY IS A SHY BUT SWEET BOY WHO NEEDS A FUREVER HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! RELLY was found by someone who kept him in her home for 3 days before dropping him off at the shelter. RELLY is about 2 yrs old, already neutered, and just shy. The shelter environment is not bringing out the true love this boy really is. When given attention he rolled around and gave head-butts but was still nervous at his surroundings. Get this kitty home and you will have a super sweet snuggle buddy for the holidays!! RESERVE RELLY BY NOON!!
Brooklyn Center
Hello, my name is Relly. My animal id is #14552. I am a desexed male white cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 25-Nov-2017.
Relly is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other cats. Relly may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
My medical notes are…
