CYGNUS IV – 21816
Safe - 3-14-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 3/14/18 WATCH THE VIDEO! Long Stay!!! One look at beginner boy CYGNUS IV and you’ll say give me Cygnus More!! He’s so friendly his heart murmurs at MACC. A volunteer writes: Cygnus is a very calm boy, very fond of lounging, and even more fond of receiving a petting massage from head to toe. But toss him a scrunchy cat toy, and he becomes a championship wrestler. It’s totally adorable. He’s got a lovely black coat (imagine being elegantly dressed for every occasion, even when you wake up in the morning), with a bright white triangle down his chest and dancing white paws. We’ve got a winner here, and he could be yours.
CYGNUS IV is a handsome tuxie cat who is nervous in the shelter and needs a furever home.
