Description: This adorable red tabby had a rather rough start in life. Abandoned and frightened he was taken to the animal shelter and then was rescued by Tails of Hope to help him overcome his fears. It's hard for a young kitten to fend for itself, without shelter and no food. All of this has changed for Mandarin (aka Mannie) and he now plays with the other cats and is loved. There are still times when he is a bit shy, but once he knows you, he'll rub up against you, flop on his back and then is ready for a nice belly rub.
Mandarin is being fostered in the Columbia area.
