SHORTY – A1037344
6-9-2015 Manhattan
***SAFE 06/09/15*** SHORTY GETS AN UNHEARD-OF THIRD CHANCE TONIGHT!! Three-year-old black smoke and white boy SHORTY was surrendered by someone in the Bronx, who, when asked why he was being given up, didn’t reply, but walked out of this poor cat’s life forever. SHORTY belonged to someone, despite his ‘New Hope’ rating; his coat is clean and he looks well-kept. He may have been abandoned in an apartment. Now this frightened young fellow is at the mercy of ACC, who will kill him tomorrow at noon due to his fear and the fact that this poor guy caught the ever-present but easily treated ACC kitty cold. Don’t let that happen, for SHORTY deserves so much better. Often so-called ‘feral’ cats are simply frightened felines who have had little chance to adjust to the chaos that is ACC. Please consider fostering this boy – the look on his face says it all – he knows what will happen to him. Don’t let it be the end of his life. SAVE SHORTY tonight! He doesn’t have another night to spare! THE ACC WILL NOT GIVE SHORTY A FOURTH CHANCE – CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO SAVE SHORTY!!!!
