MANHATTAN CENTER
Hello, my name is Largo. My animal id is #18152. I am a desexed female black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 12-Jan-2018.
Original Location: 10467
Largo is at risk for behavior reasons. She is extremely fearful in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. Medically, Largo is obese and requires a calorie controlled diet to return her to a healthy weight. That aside, she appears to be a healthy cat.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 22.4375 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 4. Orange
Largo was very stiff bodied he did not move much but allowed us to put a collar on him and check him for any injuries. He did growl a little when we picked him up but he did not stiffen up and relaxed when we put him back down. When we opened a carrier he walked in all on his own and lied down.
