DARREL – A1056720
Safe 11-10-2015 Brooklyn Rescue: Animalkind Please honor your pledges: http://www.animalkind.info/
***SAFE 11/10/15*** Sweet DARREL is a handsome dude who was being fed by a loving grandmother who, sadly, has passed away. The person who brought him into the shelter was tired of his repeat visits and couldn’t be bothered to put food out for him—sounds like someone who “loves” animals about as much as the ACC—and so that person dumped this trusting soul into a broken shelter system. DARREL has some medical issues which will need veterinary assessment, so please remember that a FOSTER HOME can save his life tonight! The New Hope rescue will help out with the vet bills and the foster owner supplies the love. Darrel is also available to be adopted outright, but either way, please work extra hard to SAVE HIS LIFE TONIGHT!

11/02/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/02/15 20:15 Darrell is an all black 3 year old male cat that came in as a stray. Finder stated that Darrel is a known street cat in the neighborhood that her grandmother would consistently put food out for. Now that her grandmother has passed, Darrel still comes to the house to get food however; finder no longer was to handle that responsibility. I asked if Darrel has ever interacted with anyone in the house directly or been inside the house and she said no. Upon intake, Darrel displayed signs of fear; he retrieved to the back and did not want to be removed from the carrier. However, after being given some time to relax, he allowed his self to be removed from the carrier, collard, and photographed.
