NIKKO – A1050196
Safe 9-17-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
***SAFE 09/17/15*** Yet ANOTHER orange cat on death row! NIKKO is a brighter shade of orange which makes him SUPER CUTE! But that won’t help him unless he can get a FOSTER or ADOPTER! The 5 year old was surrendered due to the previous owner moving across the country and he apparently didn’t FEEL LIKE LOOKING for a cat- friendly dwelling! NIKKO was nervous upon intake but then warmed up to the assessor by lightly head- butting and allowing petting! He earned a GREAT AVERAGE rating! Now he needs YOU to offer to FOSTER or ADOPT him. Please don’t wait for the “next person”, they might not come! Be NIKKO’s hero tonight and contact a rescue now to save his life!
