Hi! My name is Jimmy and I came to the shelter as a stray kitty. As much as I like being here and off the streets, I would love it even more to come home with you. While on the streets I was exposed to the FIV virus, and now tested positive for it, but am a very big healthy boy, and I don't need any special care or medication. If you have any questions about FIV, please ask my human friends at the shelter. I have spunk so will definitely keep you entertained and on your toes, plus I get along well with other cats and love to play. Did I mention that I am also a long sleek panther, waiting to make your home my jungle? Will you be the one? The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated!

FALL 201 7 “The beloved American classic about a young girl’s coming-of-age at the turn of the century, Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a poignant and moving tale filled with compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache, crowded with life and people and incident. The story of young, sensitive, and idealistic Francie Nolan and her bittersweet formative years in the slums of Williamsburg has enchanted and inspired millions of readers for more than sixty years. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the daily experiences of the unforgettable Nolans are raw with honesty and tenderly threaded with family connectedness -- in a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as incredibly rich moments of universal experience.”
