TEXAS PETE – A1055211
Safe 11-1-2015 Manhattan
*** SAFE 11/01/15 *** TEXAS PETE IS A NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT MIX….That’s a long way from Texas!! His orginal owner planned on leaving this 11 year old “in the street” when they moved and a kind neighbor took him in…..A volunteer writes: This special senior came to us as a stray, so we don’t know his background. It looks like he might have had a tough time. He is looking for a very special person that is patient and loving who can draw him out of his shell, and let him be the wonderful cat that is inside him. He will probably do well in a quiet environment. Could you be that wonderful person this cat needs?….TEXAS PETE is already NEUTERED and AVERAGE rated……INSTEAD OF A NORWEGIAN CRUISE, HOW ABOUT A NORWEGIAN CAT?……TEXAS PETE NEEDS YOU!! OFFER TO FOSTER OR ADOPT NOW!!
