***SAFE 05/11/15*** CHARMING TUXIE KITTEN HAS A LOVING VOLUNTEER PLEA AND AN EXCELLENT BEHAVIOR RATING, BUT WILL DIE BECAUSE HE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT WALNUT A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Handsome tuxie kitten WALNUT, just 13 months old, finds himself stuffed into the kill-happy ACC as a “STRAY”, where he quickly caught the eye of an ACC staff member, who lovingly writes: “Meet Walnut! This gorgeous kitty is sure to be your favorite nut. He is sweet and satisfies your need for a loving companion in your home. As soon as you approach this little guy his beautiful green eyes light up with excitement! It’s like he knows he’s about to enjoy a much needed head rub. If his content(ed) purrs don’t warm your heart, I don’t know what will. This sweet boy came to us as a stray but he is more suited for a home that will give him all the affection he deserves. Come say hello to this fella today!” Walnut charmed his way to a near-perfect AVERAGE behavior rating, but the ACC will KILL poor Walnut at noon tomorrow, all because he SNEEZED. Please don’t let them silence his purrs forever! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt darling tuxie kitten WALNUT! if you can’t save WALNUT yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
