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.
