MERMAID – A1056979
Safe 11-18-2015 Staten Island Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
**SAFE 11/18/15** The power trio of DRAGON, MERMAID and FAIRY came into the ACC together less than 2 weeks ago, and now the shelter has decided they should all die on the same day. MERMAID has a cherished BEGINNER rating, she has awesome staff notes, and she needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to save her life tonight! “A staff member writes: This gorgeous calico kitty also has some tabby stripes, and her eyes are as striking as her coat. Mermaid is a beautiful girl with a winning purrsonality to match! Meet this approximately one-year-old lovebug at ACC’s Staten Island Care Center. A volunteer writes: Mermaid is such a good girl! She just loves attention, will roll over for you, and will pay close attention to every word you say to her. Mermaid also loves overall petting and having her head rubbed. This pretty calico with the sweetest disposition could be adopted by beginner cat parents (those with no experience with cats) — she is that easy to handle!”
