Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Remus. My animal id is #19527. I am a desexed female black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 30-Jan-2018.
Remus is at risk for behavior reasons. She is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. She is stressed in the care center, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. Medically, Remus has a heart murmur, but appears to be otherwise in good health.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 9.4 lbs
