TEDDY – 28423
Safe - 6-2-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 6/2/18 A volunteer writes: I am so pleased and proud of Teddy. A week ago I met him, and he was hiding his head in a corner and I couldn’t get him to come out for love or money (ok, for love). Fast forward a week and he was my new best friend forever and couldn’t get enough petting. Prancing around at the front of his kennel, looking for company, I swear he was flirting with me. Second in importance, he is stunning to look at, which doesn’t come through in his photo because you need to see him standing up. Like some cats, especially a breed called a Norwegian Forest Cat, he has whiskers coming out of his ears that make him look like he has a halo. His coloring is a complex pattern of pastels streaked with brown and black lines and a little pinkish nose. Yes, I’ll cop to being one of his fans. Our group is growing so come for a visit and don’t dawdle.
TEDDY and housemate are two unneutered cats who were surrendered to the shelter due to “territorial marking”….. gee we wonder why. Teddy is healthy, nervous and needs a new furever home with someone who understands cat behavior! Why not adopt both housemates?
