FIGI – A1059810
Safe 12-21-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Second Chance Rescue Please honor your pledges: http://www.nycsecondchancerescue.org/
***SAFE 12/21/15***HANDSOME FIGI is all dressed up in his tuxedo, with nowhere to go, that is no home to go to! This affectionate 8 year old male with the big, longing eyes was adopted from a shelter as a kitten, only to be dumped at the shelter because his owner had allergies. FIGI slept in a basket, followed his owner around and played gently with the small children in his family. A volunteer writes: “Figi is one of my all-time favorites. Calm and described by his former owners as “low activity,” he’s beautiful in his tuxedo. In fact he looks a bit overdressed as he snuggles into his deep plush bed and looks up at you longingly. He could be great company at your next private dinner party in your cozy home.” This sweet guy with the welcoming eyes doesn’t deserve to die tomorrow by lethal injection. FIGI would do great in a beginner or average pet home. Please foster or adopt this lovey-guy. He’ll fill your life with purrs and cuddles!!
