SAFE 8/29/17 Senior cat COCO is declawed in the front paws Meet this lovely boy at MACC. A volunteer writes: Coco is a confident and charming guy with handsome tuxedo looks, including sea-green eyes, a dapper mustache, and adorable white fluff mittens. This sophisticated gentleman is all about being laid back and cool. But don’t mistake his assured demeanor for aloofness. He loves attention in the form of head rubs, cheek squeezes, and philosophical conversations. But most of all this guy digs cat nip. Give him a taste and Mr. Sophisticated goes wild, rolling over, tucking himself into fancy yogic positions, and looking out at passersby with silly boy face. If you are looking for one cool cat with an affinity for fun, come meet Coco at Manhattan Animal Care Center.

NEW PHOTOS! 12 year old COCO was dumped by his owner for “no time”. Please give this older boy a new furever home.

Basic Information: Coco is a 12 years old neutered male black and white cat. He was surrendered to MACC due to his previous owner no longer having time for him.

Socialization: Around strangers and children he is described friendly/outgoing, relaxed and respectful and plays somewhat rough with  both adults and children. He has been socialized with cats and was respectful and tolerant of them. He has never been socialized with dogs and there’s no records of him ever biting another animal or person.

Behavior: He meow a lot when he is alone, occasionally attempts to escape your home, occasionally has litter box accidents and will sleep during car rides.  when attempting to give him a bath or trim his nails but he enjoys being brushed, being picked up, being placed in a carrier and isn’t bothered when being disturbed while sleeping.

For a New Family to Know: He was described as friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, confident, independent, talkative and somewhat fearful to new environments. He has a medium activity level, enjoys belly rubs, will follow you around when home with you, enjoys playing with balls, strings, laser pointers and catnip toys. He has been kept mostly indoors, prefers to sleep on his own bed, ate dry food 3x a day, seems to be litter box trained, prefers an uncovered litter box with clumping litter and likes a scratching post made of cardboard.

During Intake: He allowed collaring and was receptive to handling. He was slow blinking at the admissions counselor and meowing gently. He was hesitant to come out of the carriers and ran back inside after the admissions counselor snapped a picture of him.
