FLUFFY – A1045567
8-2-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Hurricane Pets Please honor your pledges: http://www.HurricanePetsRescue.org/
***SAFE 08/02/2015***A VICTIM OF A FIRE, FLUFFY WAS FOUND 2 BLOCKS AWAY AFTER HIS OWNERS APARTMENT BURNED DOWN. A neighbor found him, took him in for the night, and then ‘thought bringing him to ACC was the ‘best thing to do!’ Really? Did she not know he would be at risk. FLUFFY got a bad behavioral rating though he was very sweet at first. Remember, this cat was in an apartment fire that burned the apartment down completely and he managed to get away. He’s probably absolutely terrified of what else could happen. FLUFFY is only 2 years old, and he’s recovered from the after effects of the fire. He’s actually doing well, and its now the ACC who will take his life unless someone who understands what this boy has been through steps up and offers to foster or adopt him-but he’s ‘rescue only’ because ACC didn’t feel he was fit for adoption. Sad, isn’t it? But you can make the sad glad-by saving FLUFFY!!! Come on! You know he’s lovely and you want to!
