Pichirilo - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in New York, New York

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.

Pichirilo is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Pichirilo is shy, sweet boy who has severe inflammation of his mouth. It is a condition called gingivostomatitis. Pichi will likely need a dental procedure to remove all of his teeth, a full mouth extraction. He has started eating again with a course of steroids to help with the inflammation, but this is not a permanent fix and is not ideal in the shelter. Pichirilo would do best outside of the shelter environment with individualized care and a quiet place to recover. Behaviorally, he is tense but allows all handling.
