SKIPPY – A1117079
Safe - 7-9-2017 Manhattan
***SAFE 07/09/17 *** Meet Skippy: Skippy came into the care center as a stray. He has an ear infection that is possibly the result of a mass in his ear. This mass would most likely need to be removed. We are hoping to place Skippy with a group that can provide the necessary medical care. Let’s help find Skippy the care he deserves!
