***GONE 08/06/15*** SAMMY IS A SWEET,NEUTERED,2 YEAR OLD BOY WHO WAS SURRENDERED TO THE ACC DUE TO PREVIOUS OWNERS ALLERGIES. SAMMY lived with 2 adults,1 child and another cat. This poor guy was frightened during assessment but did allow petting in a limited way. Now this adorable kitty needs a home. Please pledge,foster and/or adopt! DO WHAT YOU CAN TO SAVE HIM!
