Trafalgar
Hello, my name is Trafalgar. My animal id is #214589. I am a female black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 6 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 11/13/2024.
Trafalgar has been placed on the at-risk list for medical reasons. She has multiple issues that are keeping her in a weakened state. She has marked anemia; she's emaciated; she has a area of consolidation in her chest that may be pneumonia or a mass. She is eating but continues to be in a fragile state. She needs care, diagnostics and support that we cannot provide.

What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I am looking for a home with a patient person.
