Gone 9-12-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 09/12/15***SUPER SWEET AND DELICIOUS CREAMSICLE NEEDS NEW FRIEND-BE HOUSTON’S HERO! Sad sigh! Houston is a loving and affectionate six year old precious angel who was sadly betrayed by his former family. This great guy was surrendered by the sister of his former owner who moved out of state. The reason for surrender is the BS “no time” excuse. This fab fella was a gift to his former purrson and is a typical male creamsicle—loving, friendly and affectionate. At 12 lbs., there is a lot of Houston to love. But if we don’t do everything we can to advocate for this amazing cat tonight, he will become another sad ACC stat when tomorrow afternoon rolls around. Everything about Houston screams purrfect pet—loving, playful, already neutered and gets along with kids. Please reserve him online or contact a NH rescue for assistance with transportation. Won’t you please help write a happy ending to this sad tale. Make the call for this sweet and delicious creamsicle NOW!!!
