ROMEO – A1117133
Safe - 7-2-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 7/2/17 Meet Paperclip and Romeo: These cuties are not littermates but both need placement by 6pm. Paperclip is a bit too young to eat on her own (she was noted to eat on her own with encouragement but we have been syringe feeding her). She has a proptosed eye and will need an enucleation when she is older. Romeo was very lethargic and anemic due to fleas when he came in. We treated his fleas, warmed him up, and are hand feeding him, which has perked him up! He does need somebody who can closely watch and care for him to help him get back on his paws. Please help these cuties today @MACC!
ROMEO is only a kitten and is already fighting for his life. He came into the shelter in bad shape. He was unable to hold up his head. He may also have a heart murmur. He is emaciated and hypothermic. This little angel needs a miracle.
