BRUCE – A1030633
4-1-2015
SAFE***BRUCE has an AVERAGE rating and a talent for getting out of e-collars, so you just know this neutered 3-year-old guy is all kinds of fun. Read his behavioral notes and see for yourself—this is one engaging cat! Bruce wound up at the shelter when his former owner was evicted, which isn’t his fault. Then the ACC couldn’t figure out how to get him a new home, which is also not his fault. This excellent cat is slated to die tomorrow, because of factors beyond his control, unless someone steps up for him tonight!
