This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Miracle is on the at-risk list for medical concerns. She is a sweet cat who has not eaten since entering the shelter despite supportive care. She needs fluid therapy, additional blood work and imaging in a veterinary clinic for possible pancreatitis. A volunteer writes: We all need one(or two, or three) feel good moment in this chaotic world. Spending time with Miracle provides just that! Miracle is most often seen resting under her kuranda bed. As I enter her room(she is not in a kennel), Miracle slowly moves toward me. She is not on my lap but sits or lays next to me, makes discretely biscuits, purrs very distinctively and caresses my hand with her head. She stands by me, making no attempt to leave me.... I feel so at peace! Any noxious stimulus vanishes. I am in heaven! Miracle is with us as her very long time owner was going through difficult times. She comes with lovely comments(affectionate, playful, well mannered and enjoying a spa treatment) although she never met with kids, cats or dogs. Miracle seems to thrive on human companionship and being on her own, in a shelter environment, even that she gets lots of visitors, is not what her heart has in mind....I can see the way she looks at me(and others) when I glance at her from the outside of her private quarters. Miracle yearns for a home sweet home and the love of a new owner or family. Come and meet her very soon at the Manhattan Care Center, fall in love and take her with you! I can go home today! I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I am a sweet, social, older gal, looking for the perfect forever home! What my friends at ACC say about me: Miracle was crouched down in her hidey cube with a soft body and eyes upon approach. She sniffs treats offered, welcomes petting on the head, and is easily coaxed to walk towards the assessor for more attention. She leans in and purrs for double cheek and chin rubs and is unbothered when stroking her body. During pick up, she is calm and relaxed, rests her front limbs on the assessor's arm, purrs, and allows petting all over when held, hugged, and kissed for 30 seconds. After placing her back down, she continues to appreciate more petting and cheek rubs.
