Safe 11-4-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Staten Island Hope Animal Rescue Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
*SAFE* 11/4/15 – Sweet Chubster Jaba The Hut is a beginner boy!! He needs someone to continue his great diet; he’s already losing weight!!!
A volunteer writes: Brought in as a stray, unlike his namesake, our Jaba is a sweet and gentle giant. He is very friendly and loves affection and attention. He is very laid back and relaxed, interested in what’s going on, and has been rated a good cat for beginner cat parents. Of course if you have experience he would love to go home with you as well. He should do well in most households, and while he could lose a few pounds, he is just a healthy and happy young man who is ready to go home.
