SAFAA – A1048574
Safe 9-3-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Pound Hounds Please honor your pledges: http://www.poundhoundsresq.org/
**SAFE 09/03/15** The fact that you’re seeing SAFAA at the ACC, and on the euth list, is absolute bull. This NEUTERED, loving boy with the fancy-pants eyes had been living in a MULTI-CAT home before his “owners” decided they no longer had “space” for him on account of their new baby. Really? Then how come SAFAA was the ONE cat they brought into the shelter? Did they have room for everyone other than SAFAA? What a crock. Anyway, read his glowing volunteer comments and then find a foster/adopter to SAVE SAFAA TONIGHT! “A volunteer writes: Big guy alert. Beautiful eyes and a chubby face you just want to cup in your hands and smother with kisses. A friendly soul, sweet and gentle just, looking for that place to call home. A real home out of the shelter would be a wonder thing for Safaa. Think about a constant companion who will keep you company. You will never be alone again. Life after Safaa is a happy life with him.”
