MYRNA – A1103246
Gone - 2-27-2017 Manhattan
***GONE 02/27/17 *** A volunteer writes: I call Myrna my little sleepyhead: she was deep in dreamland when I met her at the Care Center one evening, but as soon as she sensed my presence she bounded right up, ready for pettings and ear scratches. Friendly and confident around people, she came to us from a home: her former pet parents said she lived with adults and kids, and she played gently with the children. This black and white cookie has many fans at the Care Center (behavior staffers deemed her “social, calm, and sweet”), and we all want her to find a home where she’ll be cherished and adored. Be the one who gets to adopt Myrna by coming to her corner of the cat adoption room today!
