MANHATTAN CENTER
Hello, my name is Tiny. My animal id is #16076. I am a male silver tabby kitten at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 weeks old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Dec-2017.
Original Location: 10462
Tiny is at risk for medical reasons. Tiny is a 10 week old kitten who has been diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Tiny came to the shelter dehydrated and emaciated, and with ticks on his body. We believe that Tiny would be suitable for any home able to give Tiny the care he needs.
