TIGGIE – A1047539
8-27-2015 Brooklyn
**GONE 08/27/15** Skeptical TIGGIE can’t figure out why his much-loved former family brought him to the ACC where he could be killed tomorrow, when life was pretty darn good at home. This NEUTERED, AVERAGE-rated squish might have been a little weary of the dog and the visiting kiddos from time to time, but compared with a lethal injection, we all know which option he would have chosen. Trouble is, the cat NEVER has a say in the matter and their “owners” are all too frequently motivated by their own selfish whims. TIGGIE is an EXCELLENT pet and he totally deserves to live beyond noon tomorrow, so we MUST find a foster/adopter for him, tonight!
