SAFE 10/29/17 Meet Spunky: This adorable kitten is still learning how to be a cat! She can eat on her own but at times needs some encouragement, and once in a while needs a little bit of assistance. Although it wasn’t clear at first, she is able to urinate on her own, but will need a human who can keep an eye on her to make sure she’s going consistently. With some help and patience, Spunky will get this whole kitten thing down in no time! Meet her today @MACC!
