Meet Battleship — Meow Mobile Cat of the Week

Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Battleship is a handsome tabby charmer with gorgeous eyes, approximately two years old.

He arrived as a stray on July 15, and he came in with some wounds on his back of unknown origin. He’s been treated and is healing, but it may take a few months for him to fully recover. Battleship is a big sweetheart who loves attention and adores feather toys. He is non-reactive to the cats in surrounding cages. This snugglebug is ready to go home with you – neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).
