***SAFE 06/04/15*** 17-YEAR-OLD SENIOR, ONE-HALF OF A BONDED PAIR, WAS DUMPED FOR “ALLERGIES” AND NOW WILL DIE DUE TO HIS FEAR – PLEASE GRANT PEPPER A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Seventeen-year-old black tabby gent PEPPER and his BONDED best fur-friend TIMMY (A1038215, still available in Urgent album) were handed over to the kill-happy ACC with a heart-breaking back story: “Pepper is approximately 17 years old and Timmy is 12 years old. They were both rescued form the streets when they were little kittens. They are being surrendered because the owner just had eye surgery and his wife has become highly allergic throughout the years. According to the owners, both cats are very playful and respectful around children. When children are around they are very happy but will hide when they get tired. They both have high activity levels. They love to play togther and meow when they chase eachother up and down the stairs of the house. The owners describe them as playful, confident, friendly, and talkative with each other. Both cats love to be held and carried. They love to follow the family around and seek attention.” But poor Pepper is now SEPARATED from his best friend Timmy; what’s worse, Pepper is TERRIFIED in the scary shelter, so the ACC PUNISHED him with New Hope Only and fast-tracked him to the noon kill list for tomorrow. Please step up for this dear senior boy and his best bonded friend too. Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt senior sweetheart PEPPER from the approved New Hope rescue groups! If you can’t save PEPPER yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!

While he lip licks in place, he avoids contact and began to hiss at the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: NH ONLY Pepper is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room.
