NIRVANA – A1030834
4-1-2015
SAFE***Nirvana and Rita are 6-month-old siblings whose former owner brought them to the shelter when, 5 months after getting them as tiny kitties, that person decided they were “allergic.” Nirvana earned a super AVERAGE rating from the shelter, he is in perfect health, and he’s an ideal companion for pretty much anyone. Despite being a highly adoptable kitten, the ACC didn’t have what it takes to get him adopted, which is why his fate rests in YOUR hands right now. Please share Nirvana relentlessly, tonight.
