It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I am playful and cute! I am excitable and energetic! I will need positive outlets for my energy! Hi there! My name is Uwu and I've been at the Manhattan ACC since May (yes, you read that right)! I arrived as a stray so the staff don't know what my life was like before coming to ACC, but I had various injuries that I'm recovering from really well. I only require a little extra paperwork to be filled out and a few extra vet visits this year because one of my injuries was likely a bite wound (now fully healed). I'm thankful for everyone at ACC taking such good care of me, but I think I'd like to find my forever home now. So what are you waiting for? Ask about me today!
