METS – A1044541
8-5-2015 Brooklyn Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
***SAFE 08/05/15*** SECOND CHANCE FOR METS WHO HAD A SPECIAL PLEA FROM THE ACC- THIS HEAD BUTTING BEGINNER HAS BEEN ACTIVELY SEEKING ATTENTION SINCE HIS INTAKE! METS was found by someone who apparently found the friendly cat and thought bringing him to ACC was for the best. Sadly for this one year old charmer, it is not. METS was found in an area of EAST NEW YORK known for animals being abandoned and it’s not impossible that METS was left behind when a former owner moved. METS was also found with small wounds on his head and side-though there is no way to tell from what…did someone try to hurt him or did he get hurt in a search for food and shelter. They are almost healed now, but METS is in danger from a slight cold. CAN YOU SAVE THIS SWEET AND GENTLE BOY? A year old is really a kitten, and METS needs you tonight. Please reach out and scoop him up-you’ll be glad you did!
