RED – A1041616
7-2-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 07/02/2015*** There are times when you meet angels in fur, cats who have been placed squarely in your path in such a way you KNOW they need you-because they are special. RED is such a cat. He has turned the hearts of even the ACC folks, who have put out a ‘SPECIAL PLEA’ for him. You see, Red’s evaluation contains words like ‘Reaction to door cage opening: remains motionless Reaction to touch: sits up, chirps, purrs’. RED, however, needs someone who will be his angel-who will say ‘I love him and we’ll walk this road together. RED came in as a ‘stray’ with a broken tail-and this has caused him problems with being able to control his bladder. And–RED STILL HAD MAGGOTS IN HIS TAIL WHEN HE CAME IN-no one has cared for this darling in a long time-and yet, yet, this cat purrs and kneads when he meets people! Don’t be sad-be serious…Save RED, for he has survived whatever he has for a reason. This makes RED a very special cat who because of his medical condition, must be pulled by a rescue partner….now-that said, ‘special’ cats like RED do very well, and their ‘handicap’ is not a problem to them. But RED needs to see a vet-and he needs a strong partner at his side, someone who can say ‘I’ll pick you-because we are meant to be-‘ and see written, in Reds eyes, a bond that will last a lifetime and beyond. SAVE RED TONIGHT!!! PLEASE!
