MORGAN aka MORGANA – A1117706
Safe - 8-5-2017 Staten Island
SAFE 8/5/17 A volunteer writes: Morgan is a larger lady with a commanding presence and a big heart. She rolls around and purrs when volunteers pet her, and enjoys a good head scratch. You can tell Morgan likes attention because she becomes so animated when someone comes over to see her, springing up from her previously lounging position to see who it is.
MORGAN aka MORGANA was just adopted less than 2 weeks ago and has already been returned for ‘PERSONAL PROBLEMS”!! This super relaxed and friendly kitty deserves a FUREVER home where she won’t ever see the likes of the shelter again!! Please consider this gorgeous tabby!!
