CASHEW – 8604
Safe - 10-22-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 10/22/17 WATCH VIDEO! A volunteer writes: Nuts about Cashew. Cashew is a big fella — almost 20 pounds! His coat is patterned like a cow’s, with big round black spots. He has a tabby mask, gorgeous green eyes and an adorable rust-colored patch on his mouth, giving him a permanent smile. This gentle giant was waiting to greet me. When I opened the cage door, Cashew gave me an even bigger welcome by jumping right into my arms! My arms full, when I attempted to put this purring love bundle down, he jumped right back into my arms! A king sized cat with a king sized heart, he has a lot of love to give. Won’t you give him a forever home?
**Cashew interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat can go to a beginner home. Please consider helping CASHEW today.
