***SAFE 07/15/15*** “FRIENDLY”, HEADBUTTING NEUTERED “STRAY” TUXIE BOY HAS A LOVING VOLUNTEER PLEA AND A NEAR-PERFECT BEHAVIOR RATING, BUT WILL DIE BECAUSE HE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT ARTEM A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Stunning two-year-old tuxie lad ARTEM finds himself stuffed into the ACC’s Death Camp for Kitties as a NEUTERED “STRAY”, where he quickly caught the eye of an ACC volunteer, who lovingly writes: “Artem is a handsome ebony lad with a calm manner and a very loving way of looking at you. He enjoys being petted, and getting attention. Artem would do quite well in the forever home of beginner to average cat parents.” This dear boy HEADBUTTED and gave GENTLE, TRUSTING RUBS, earning a near-perfect behavior rating of AVERAGE. But this dear tuxie lad will DIE at noon tomorrow, an INNOCENT VICTIM of the notorious ACC kitty cold and a badly broken shelter system. Please don’t let them silence his sweet purrs forever! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt charming tuxie boy ARTEM! If you can’t save ARTEM yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
