FLUFFY – 18099
Safe - 1-21-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 1/21/18 *BONDED WITH HOUSEMATE TIGER* WATCH VIDEO! A volunteer writes: Fluffy has a gorgeous Russian-Blue like coat that is velvety soft. I found this sweet 10-year-old girl standing with her nose in a corner and I thought, oh no, this is one I will never be able to reach. But I was wrong. I gave her a gentle tap-tap, and she immediately came forward to get all the head rubs and ear massages I had to give. She was curious and alert, eager to poke her head out and look around to see what was going on outside her kennel. She just needed someone to let her know she’s not alone. Fluffy is here waiting for you and for her new life to begin.
**10 yr old FLUFFY was dumped by her owner in the shelter. She has a healed hematoma and needs follow up dental –
Fluffy is already spayed. She is a docile kitty and she would love a new home asap.
