SANDPIPER – A1060546
Gone 12-19-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 12/19/15***DELUXE SIZED GINGERBREAD MAN IN NEED OF HOLIDAY MIRACLE-BE SANDPIPER’S HERO! Sandpiper is a ten year old very sweet and affectionate orange boy who loved to be petted and needs out of the shelter tonight. He was a “stray” surrender but due to his super loving disposition, zaftig physique and the fact that he is neutered, he was almost for sure once someone’s beloved housepet. He is NH only due to his obesity and high risk of heptatic lipidosis in the shelter. He also should see a vet for follow up treatment for a fractured tooth. This is definitely the kind of kitty who would make a purrfect companion to just about anyone. Everyone knows orange boys are the sweetest and Sandpiper is surely no exception. Please offer him a chance at a happy new life by contacting one of our NH partners. Transportation is available. Contact [email protected] for assistance. This beautiful boy only has tonight. We are his only hope. Don’t let him down!!!
