LEFTY – A1035985
5-18-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 05/18/15*** AFFECTIONATE, GENTLE ONE-EYED CHARMER IS PERFECTLY HEALTHY, WITH A GREAT BEHAVIOR RATING; YET THE ACC WILL KILL HIM ANYWAY – PLEASE GRANT LEFTY A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Sweet white and gray tabby boy LEFTY, just 2 years old, was stuffed into the kill-happy ACC by his old owner, who cited PERSONAL PROBLEMS as the excuse! Lefty had a VERY NEGLECTFUL owner, for this poor boy is MISSING HIS RIGHT EYE, due to an UNTREATED eye infection as a kitten. He DID NOT have a scratching post, had NO CAT TOYS, & was NOT NEUTERED (this is why his former owner complained about his spraying in the house). Neutering will solve that issue! Lefty lived with 2 adults and another cat (his mother). Lefty is relaxed around children but does not engage for play. Lefty was affectionate and gentle with his mom. He does not mind being picked up and held. Lefty earned a very good EXPNOCHILD behavior rating from the ACC, but they plan to MURDER this EXCELLENT young boy at noon tomorrow. He deserves a home with loving, caring cat parents! Please start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt darling one-eyed LEFTY! If you can’t save LEFTY yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
