TORONTO – 17128
Safe - 1-13-2018 Manhattan
*** SAFE 01/13/18 *** WATCH VIDEO! A volunteer writes: Toronto is a lovely sight to behold. Her coat is a beautiful white, decorated with a black design on the top of her head, a round black spot on her side and a black tail. The tip of her adorable nose is a perfect black triangle and on one of her all white paws she has two black toes! Her eyes are a gorgeous shade of green. Truly one of a kind! Toronto eagerly meowed at me and stuck her paws through the condo door. I went over to say hi. After I opened the door, Toronto threw herself against me purring loudly. Nothing is as soothing as the sound of a purring cat! I received very strong head butts, cheek rubs, a thorough sniff down and then she licked my nose! I offered her some treats, which she ate with gusto. As I turned around to leave she started meowing at me again and poking her paws through the condo door. How could I walk away? I returned to Toronto’s condo, opened the door and we had a second Love fest. Toronto is utterly irristible. She is beauty with lots of love to give that special someone. Could that special someone be you? Give Toronto her forever home. You’ll be glad you did.
