SAFE 5/6/16 A volunteer writes: For adoption: Million dollar cat! A bright, handsome snugglebug and only 4 years old. Features include (but are not limited to) head butting, hand kissing, complete turnover ability and 150 purrpower motor, very quick to rev with petting. Vibrant color and high spirits, currently experiencing some mobility issues but keen to get back up and running ASAP. Some TLC required but great rewards for a savvy rescuer with the heart to see this hidden gem’s true worth. Available immediately at the Manhattan Care Center, ask for Mint by name!
