AUSTIN – A1042409
7-13-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Happy Homes Please honor your pledges: http://www.happyhomesinc.org/
***SAFE 07/13/15***AWESOME BEGINNER AUSTIN NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Sad sigh! One year old Austin is yet another highly adoptable cat who finds his precious life in peril. Austin and his brother Shawn (unknown status) were surrendered due to “allergies” but when you read all about him, it’s hard to imagine anyone giving up such a great little boy. Austin was found in the New York Botanical Garden by his former owners when he was a kitten. He is loving, good with kids and loves taking pictures. He is gentle when playing and is extremely friendly and chatty. Austin received the coveted beginner rating and one might think the ACC would spare such an affectionate angel his precious life. Sadly, this is not the case and Austin is slated to die tomorrow afternoon unless his rescue angel steps up tonight. Can you be Austin’s hero? Please reserve him online or contact a NH rescue for help with transportation. And don’t forget that fostering saves lives so let a rescue know if you can offer temporary safe haven to this fab fella. So what are you waiting for? Make the call for awesome Austin and be the change that you want to see in the world!
