Meet Monk — Meow Mobile Cat of the Week

Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – You’re going to want to come in immediately to meet this super sweet tabby boy!

Monk is a gorgeous sweetheart, approximately 3 years old, who sadly was surrendered on October 9 following his human’s passing.

Monk doesn’t understand why he’s in a shelter cage, so we’re hoping he doesn’t have to be in one for very long. He is an affectionate charmer who loves pets and squeeze up treats in equal measure. Monk is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated appropriate to age, and negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).
