JOJO – A1113764
Safe - 6-14-2017 Brooklyn
SAFE 6/14/17 JoJo can be shy when you first meet him, but those bright green eyes, cute pink nose, and charming orange spots and tail draw you in! He’s warmed up so much since he first arrived at the Brooklyn Care Center, and has even meowed to solicit attention when someone walks into the room. This special kitty would be happiest in an experienced home where he can explore and adjust at his own pace.
