How I Arrived At NHS: We were pulled from Mpls Animal Control where we came in as strays. We went into a foster home to get better socialized. The shelter is just too scary for me so I'm hanging out in my foster home while I wait to get adopted.
Notes from my foster family: Manny is such a handsome little guy! His beautiful black coat is complemented perfectly by his soft brown eyes and just a whisp of white on his chest. He's so sweet, too! He was quite shy when he came to his foster parents but has really come around. He loves to cuddle and be stroked, purring contentedly all the while. He also loves going to his foster dad's office to "help" him work. Manny gets a "working lunch" on those days and loves doing it so much that he actually runs into his crate to be transported. In his non-working hours, he enjoys a wide variety of toys and loves to explore.
The key with Manny is patience. He is quite shy around strangers, and it may take his adopter(s) a few days or even longer to fully gain his trust. Once you do, though, you'll find him to be a remarkably affectionate and fun kitty who loves spending time with his people. Manny will be an exceptional pet for many years to come!
Good with dogs: possibly, with a proper introduction
Good with cats: yes
Good with children: possibly with a slow introduction but very small children might be too much for him
Cats are feline leukemia/feline immunodeficiency virus tested (if applicable), if there is a litter, one in the litter is tested or the queen is tested. They have had at least their first distemper combo (booster given if been in our care for the appropriate time), been de-wormed, microchipped, and treated with a flea and tick product (if applicable). All the cats are spayed or neutered before they leave for their forever homes.
