MYSTIK – A1045380
8-19-2015 Staten Island
*SAFE* 08/19/15- DECLAWED Mystik was surrendered because his owner is ill. Immediately as I enter adoptions, he is rolling and on his back. He is simply a great cat!!
A volunteer writes: Mystik is a young man who is friendly and affectionate, wanting to be petted and held, but reluctant at this time. Also, Mystik would do best in a forever home with no small children. Average cat parents would be best suited forever cat parents to Mystik since they would know exactly what it would take to bring out the best in Mystik and making him feel comfy and safe in his new forever home.
