Cake
Hello, my name is Cake. My animal id is #264021. I am a female black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 8/31/2026.
Cake needs at risk placement for medical reasons. She is a sweet girl with Diabetes Mellitus. She is on oral medication to regulate her blood sugar. She needs placement in a home and outpatient management with a local veterinarian to manage her condition long term.

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Cake needs at risk placement for medical reasons. She is a sweet girl with Diabetes Mellitus. She is on oral medication to regulate her blood sugar. She needs placement in a home and outpatient management with a local veterinarian to manage her condition long term. A volunteer writes: When I first met Cake, she was at her door, clearly making sure to be noticed. She was chatty too. A skinny oreo cookie, really cute, a girly girl despite the poor shape she was in. I opened the door and she immediately was on my lap without even asking...Cake knew what she wanted. Attention and love! Cake was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and started on oral treatment. She is monitored in the medical room where she is a very much liked and an easy patient. Cake was found in a backyard by a Good Samaritan who brought her to the Manhattan Care Center. Poor Cake would not have lasted very long on the street if that person had not brought her to safety. Cake is monitored on an oral anti diabetic agent. This should be preferably done in a quiet home environment with an owner or a foster knowledgeable of DM in pets. Cake is a great little gal who so deserves your attention. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
