Gone 12-20-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 12/20/15*** GENTLE AND PLAYFUL POKEY WAS DUMPED IN THE SHELTER FOR ALLERGIES! POKEY is an 8 year old very handsome tuxie boy who is already neutered and ready to go home and snuggle with a special someone. Sadly, he caught the shelter cooties and now he is not going to get that chance because at NOON Sunday, he will be killed. POKEY’S owner did not say how long he lived with her but did say he liked to follow her around and be in the same room with her. He has not been around kids or dogs. He was friendly and purring on his assessment and got a great AVERAGE rating. POKEY is the purrfect pet and is hoping that a holiday miracle will save his life.
