PETUNIA’S BOY – A1059000
Safe 12-4-2015 Staten Island Rescue: Happy Homes Please honor your pledges: http://www.happyhomesinc.org/
***SAFE 12/4/16***PETUNIAS BOY is one of a family of cats, brought in because of the owners ‘personal problems’. Petunia’s Boy is only a kitten, just 8 months old, and a sweet guy who got the shelter cold and isn’t feeling his best. He’s allowed all handling, and was so scared when the Assessor first went to him and opened his cage he hid his face! He has had some vomiting but he’s been watched and it hasn’t shown anything besides that he might be starting the well known ‘shelter bug’. But he’s young and a kitten of his age, not a tiny kitten at all, but a sweet one, can that that off with love and care. Won’t you help PETUNIA’S BOY TONIGHT? HE NEEDS YOU!
