Safe 10-26-2015 Staten Island Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
*SAFE* 10/26/15 – Acorn is a pure sweetie. She was found in a vacant apartment with another kitty because her owner had died. She solicits attention when you walk by her cage and is a gentle girl.
A volunteer writes: The fall season brings thoughts of beautifully colored leaves and Acorn! Acorn is a senior citizen who so enjoys being held and handled, and is very friendly. This Acorn isn’t meant to be “squirreled away”, but to be loved and cherished forever.

She does not approach the assessor but allows all handling. Acorn is exhibiting behavior suited to average cat parents.
