Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Dart. My animal id is #18958. I am a male black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 22-Jan-2018.
Dart is at risk due to behavior, New Hope Only determination. Dart is fearful in the care center and should go to a home that will allow him to acclimate at his own pace. He does have a heart murmur but there are no other medical conditions at this time.
