PATE – A1039075
6-16-2015 Brooklyn
**SAFE 06/16/15** Do not be put off by the fact that PATE needs to be pulled by a New Hope rescue group tonight: this is a FRIENDLY cat who lived with very young children and always played gently with them. He had the good sense to simply walk away when they did something he didn’t like, and he had lived with his former family for his entire life. It’s a crying shame that they felt they could no longer care for PATE, and it’s also a shame that they trusted the ACC to find a home for him. PATE is so freaked out by their betrayal and the shelter environment, that the ACC are only allowing him to be pulled by a New Hope rescue group. Cats like PATE make loving pets once they realize they are safe in their new foster/adoptive surroundings and he will certainly be no exception. Please make sure PATE gets a new family to love by working with a New Hope rescue group to foster/adopt him, tonight!
