SUNNY DAY – 24151
Safe - 4-8-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 4/8/18 Sunny Day is a 15 year old neutered male domestic short hair that the owner has had since Sunny Day was a kitten. The owner is surrendering due to severe allergies. Sunny Day’s last vet visit was when he was a kitten and he got neutered.
These senior housemates were surrendered due to one of their owners unfortunately developing severe allergies. One of their housemates was adopted, but these two are still waiting for their forever retirement homes! They reportedly were relaxed and gentle with each other in the home, and both have been affectionate during their stay at the Manhattan Care Center. Sunny Day is a bit shy but leans in for scratches after a minute or two of warming up, and big boy Taylor is larger than life sweetie, although he can be a bit startled with the hustle and bustle of the shelter environment.
