MANHATTAN CENTER

Hello, my name is Timble. My animal id is #16787. I am a male orange tabby cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years old.

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 23-Dec-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- homeless.

Zip Code: 10029

 

Timble is at risk for behavioral reasons. Timble is extremely stressed in the shelter environment, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. For this reason we are seeking placement with a New Hope partner who can further assess Timble’s needs before placement in a home. Medically, we have no concerns for Timble, who presents as a healthy cat.

My medical notes are…
