Magic is a 3-year-old male cat. Magic is a lovable character. He’s not quite available for adoption yet, but soon. His five-day stray hold is up, so the shelter staff had him neutered and vaccinated. Plus, staff have tested, treated, brushed, bathed, petted, and been bitten by him. He was overwhelmed and in pain when he first arrived — he’s turned a corner though. Magic needs to be your one and only, as he’s not fond of other cats or dogs.
