Toula (short for Fortula in Greek meaning “light”) A1113655 is a 4yr old female white & brown tabby DMH feline who was spotted in the finder’s building 4 days ago in the Bronx. They stated they felt bad for her but aren’t able/willing to keep her and thought it best for Toula to be brought in to us. The finder stated Toula is sweet and allowed them to pick her up and place her in a carrier.

During intake it was noticed Toula appears to have given birth recently. She’s the most affectionate and sweetest cat ever! She purrs, chirps like a bird, kneads, head butts and solicits attention/affection. Toula allowed all handling; she allowed to be scanned (-), collared and taken pictures of. Due to her moving around so much and not getting any clear, face pictures her’s had to be taken in her kennel after a big meal which seemed to relax her a bit. Toula was picked up/held (which she didn’t seem to mind at all, she’ll even head butt) & was placed into her kennel with ease.
