GRINGO – 21318
Safe - 2-27-2018 Brooklyn
SAFE 2/27/18 These senior kitties were surrendered by their owner because of an unfortunate living situation. They are very sweet and deserve loving families to spend the rest of their retirement with! A volunteer writes: Gringo reminds me of Hobbes from Calvin & Hobbes. Maybe it is his long legs or is tiger stripes, I’m not sure. He is ready for whatever is going, very sweet tempered and patient, initially a little shy but overall a happy cat once you start scratching him.
13 year old GRINGO was dumped along with 7 other housemates at the shelter. He is already neutered and has some dental issues. Gringo is calm but nervous and needs a new home.
