***SAFE 07/11/15*** PURRING KITTEN CHARMER , “VERY LOVING” AND “GOOD WITH CHILDREN”, HAS A NEAR-PERFECT BEHAVIOR RATING, BUT WILL DIE BECAUSE HE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT SHAWN A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Darling one-year-old white and gray kitten SHAWN was dumped into the kill-happy ACC due to “ALLERGIES”. At home, sweetheart Shawn was PURR-fect: “Shawn is very loving, is good with children and loves taking pictures. Shawn has been around children of various ages and is very respectful of them. When Shawn plays with children he is very gentle. Shawn’s previous owner describes him has playful, friendly, talkative and affectionate with a medium activity level. Shawn enjoys when people brush his coat and hold him. Shawn likes to play with balls, wand toys, catnip toys, chasing and string. When you are home, Shawn will follow you around, be in the same room as you and sit on you. When Shawn plays he gets very excited.” Shawn earned a near-perfect AVERAGE behavior rating for his PURRS and GENTLE, TRUSTING RUBS. But this precious kitten will DIE at noon tomorrow, an INNOCENT VICTIM of the notorious ACC kitty cold and a badly broken shelter system. Please don’t let them silence his purrs forever! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt darling kitten SHAWN! If you can’t save SHAWN yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
