Safe - 5-20-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 5/20/17 Meet Spike: This mature and humble cat is hoping to find a warm, comfy basket to sleep in. He is blind and will require specialized care. But although he cannot see with his eye, he can see clearly with his heart. Can you open up your heart and help find this guy a home?
Spike lost his home when owner became ill – he has an imbedded nail on one foot which is being treated – needs a new home.
