***GONE 08/14/15*** SPARTACUS and BABLYON are siblings and BOTH NEUTERED, which is great. So the’re all ready to go! BOTH 2-year olds HAVE NOT been socialized around children, dogs or other cats, besides each other. Both were surrendered due to “ALLERGIES” which is getting to be a regular excuse. Thought CLARITON was available! Guess NOT! So now BOTH boys who are said to be friendly, are frightened now all thanks to bring stuck at the ACC! They both are RESCUE ONLY so please contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE NOW! One would suppose these guys don’t HAVE to go together! But one would also CLEARLY see they can’t live with out each other!
