SAFE 5/31/18 Tanco is a 16 years old male cat that was brought to the center because the owner was not able to keep it in her new house. Tanco has a mass behind left ear, thickened ear pinna left ear, suspect underlying disease. Will need further evaluation. These two handsome kitties (PACUCHAN & TANCO) were surrendered when their former home caught fire and their owner unfortunately had to move to an apartment that doesn’t allow pets. These housemates are quiet sweet and loving and can’t wait to find an amazing home to spend the rest of their golden years in!
