Animal Profile
Pumpkin
Hello, my name is Pumpkin. My animal id is #43761. I am a desexed female black cat at the . The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 6 months 2 weeks old.

Gyro is at risk for medical, she was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection which will require in home care. Gyro should do well in all homes.
Let's get to know each other a bit more...
A volunteer writes: I saw Gyro in the cat adoptions room because she made sure I saw her there, as she was very vocal and putting her paws out through the kennel bars to get attention. I try to take the cues from the boroughbreds, so I popped open her cubby. She sweetly presented herself for pets and chin scratches. I tried to take some pics when Gyro moved closer to the front. So I enlisted a fellow volunteer, so I could snap some pics, and Gyro solicited petting and chin scratches, and happily played with a cat toy. Gyro is a friendly, sweet and calm one-year-old who loves to kiss your fingers and get soft scratches on the neck. He will be the perfect friend and companion. So, if an active, young, brainy feline who knows her mind is what you are seeking, my suggestion is 1 year old Gyro, at Manhattan's ACC!
My medical notes are...
