Young tabby cat found in Harlem/Morningside Heights

This young cat showed up in the basement of our building on that sizzling hot Friday night, looking for shelter. I'm guessing he's a boy, probably around 1.5 years old. He has a strong, sturdy build. He’s been mostly quiet. When he did meow a couple of times after scarfing down two cans of wet food, his voice was macho. He’s shy at first, but very observant and smart — you can tell he’s carefully figuring out who he can trust. Once he feels safe, he starts to open up. He’s quietly social, with a lot of potential to bond. I already have two cats in a small one-bedroom apartment, and one of them has chronic URI and gets stressed easily — so sadly, I can’t bring this little guy in right now. I’m hoping to find him a foster or forever home where he can start his next chapter! I will send you off with some cat food and litter!
