SAYJAK – A1045272
7-30-2015 Staten Island
***SAFE 07/30/15 *** SAYJAK IS SPECIAL…..Though dehydrated and malnourished, he is still friendly. “Sayjak gently rubs head against hands, enjoys petting” This panther 12 year old was found in a yard and was clearly on his own for far too long. He is already NEUTERED. SAYJAK may be a hyperthyroid cat and inexpensive pills for hyperthyroidism could save his life and put some weight back on him…..WHO IS GOING TO STAND UP FOR A SENIOR TONIGHT?? We have seen so many lost. Here is an older BEGINNER looking for LOVE and a HOME. OFFER TO FOSTER OR ADOPT HIM TONIGHT!!
Staten Island Center
