JONATHAN – 35199
Safe - 8-2-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 8/2/18 VIDEO & NEW PHOTOS! JONATHAN is a 10-12 year old surrendered by his owner for litterbox issues. Jonathan may have urinary tract issues and needs to have a full eval to see if there is a medical reason for the inappropriate elimination. Jonathan is friendly and was purring during his exam. He lived with his present owner for only a year as his former owner had passed away. He is already neutered and needs a home with an experienced cat purrson who can find out what is causing his issues. A volunteer writes: A purrrfect cuddle bear cat! Talk to him, touch him, pet him, scratch his ear and cheek and you’re in for a symphony of happy purrs. There’s no hesitation here ; Jonathan is quite the lover. It would be nice to find someone who can give him the kind of love and care he was used to (you can tell he was a beloved cat). If you’re an animal lover,Jonathan lived with and gets along harmoniously with other cats and small dogs. Or maybe you’d like to have him all to yourself; he’d be happy with that too. If you think you have some extra room for this scrumptious cuddle bear he’ll make it well worth your while with the the love that he emanates. Many happy years!
