MORTY – A1125930
Safe - 9-28-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 9/28/17 A volunteer writes: Morty is the cat’s meow! He has a lush white coat. Decorating his head are two beautiful black circles of fur. He sports a midnight black tail, and his eyes are like spun gold. Morty ran right up to the front of the cage to say hello. Since he was in a bottom cage, I was able to sit on the floor. I opened the door and he butted me with his head and eagerly ate the cat treats I offered him. He proceeded to sniff my face and lick my nose! After he concluded his investigation, he made himself right at home by curling up on my lap. Happily content, his purr went on high volume. When I (reluctantly) had to leave, I started to put Morty back into his cage. Morty had other plans! He flew right back out and once again curled up in my lap! Do you long for that purr-fect companion to cuddle up with on the couch while watching “Animal Planet?” Look no further, Morty is the cat for you!
**NEW PHOTOS! MORTY has an injured tip of the tail and may need a partial tail amputation. He is 6 yrs old and friendly! Please help this boy today!
