About Sleepy

Sleepy is a charming little kitty with a soft tabby and white coat. Her history is a bit of a mystery, but her friends at the Animal Care Centers of NYC say she thrives on cheek and chin scratches. Sleepy appreciates slow introductions to new people and places, which helps her feel secure. Currently, she is undergoing treatment for ringworm, a minor fungal infection that is easily managed with daily medication. It's important to keep her separate from other pets during treatment, and washing hands after playtime is essential. Owning her comes with some cleaning responsibilities, but those efforts will surely be rewarded with Sleepy's affectionate nature. This little one weighs just 3.2 lbs and, at about three months old, is still a curious baby cat. Click apply to start the adoption process.
