Corrinne (17786) A volunteer writes: If I didn't have three cats of my own I would have adopted her myself! Corrinne is one fine-looking lady. She's a Tabby with a white bib, white boots and golden yellow eyes. As I approached Corrinne's condo, she meowed. This was no ordinary Meow, she sounded like a sheep. It was the cutest, funniest sound. Available for adoption at Manhattan ACC: 326 East 110th Street (between 1st and 2nd Aves.) New York, NY 10029.  Learn more about Corrinne HERE.
