Hello, my name is Mitt. My animal id is #19002. I am a male orange tabby cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 8 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender – aco on 23-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- owner elderly.
Mitt is at risk due to medical condition. Mitt is underweight and dehydrated, as well as has ringworm which is treatable in home. Mitt should go to an experienced cat family that will allow him to be a bit more independent.
My medical notes are…
