New York City Pet of the Week: Meet Baxter

FIRST CHOICE FOR A SECOND CAT

“Baxter’s sweet little face has seen a lot in his first year of life,” says ASPCA Animal Placement’s Cherylyn Washington.

After his owner died in his apartment, Baxter went to live with his owner’s sister. When she became homeless and unable to care for him, Baxter was brought to the ASPCA’s 92nd Street headquarters. Strongly bonded to his owner, the handsome boy was very shy with us at first. “But thanks to the great work of our volunteers and staff,” says Washington, “Baxter’s made great progress—and our animal behaviorists believe he’ll bond again with someone in the right home.”
