***SAFE 06/08/15*** BEGINNER-RATED KITTEN LOVEBUG GIVES LOVING KITTY KISSES AND HAS A SWEET VOLUNTEER PLEA, BUT WILL DIE BECAUSE HE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT DICE A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Darling white and black boy DICE, just a kitten at 19 months of age, was dumped into the kill-happy ACC due to the “ALLERGIES” and asthma of his former owner. Dice quickly caught the eye of an ACC volunteer, who writes: “Are you feeling lucky? You certainly will be if you take Dice home! This kitty is not a gamble – he lived in a wonderful home already, where he was kid-tested and dog-approved. When you approch his cat condo, he greets you with a cheery meow and is ready to party! Dice even gives you kitty kisses. So what do you think, will you roll the dice?” At home, “Dice lived with adult and 3 children that were 10 year(s) old and up. Dice was relaxed, affectionate, and gentle during play with the children. Dice lived with a Chihuahua and they were respectful of each other.” He snagged a rare-but-perfect BEGINNER behavior rating for his gentle RUBS and the way he BEGGED FOR AFFECTION. But this excellent kitten 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 darling kitten DICE! If you can’t save DICE yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
