***SAFE 09/30/15***TERRIFIC TIGER BETRAYED HOUSEPET WITH GREAT BEHAVIOR RATING NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Sad sigh! Two year old Tiger, a terrific, hunky, neutered boy with an adorable v-neck line, was returned to the shelter back on 9/9 due to “home size.” Hmmm. Tiger is a big boy but how much room do cats really take up? Seems that his former family brought home another cat whom Tiger didn’t take too kindly to. As most cat owners know, cats need time to get used to each other and poor Tiger who was a faithful feline friend to his former family was not given that opportunity. Instead this sweet boy who is described as relaxed and respectful towards everyone in the household, was dumped back at the one place he thought he’d never have to see again—the kill-happy shelter. Tiger, a zaftig 15.7 lbs. came in healthy but caught the kitty cold and despite an excellent prognosis, is slated to become another sad ACC stat when tomorrow afternoon rolls around. Tiger is definitely the kind of kitty you want to curl up with you on the couch on a cool fall evening. He’s got great manners and is ready to be a lucky new purrson’s new feline friend. Could that special someone be you? Please pull this great boy with an awesome pawesome average rating. You can reserve him online if you can pick him up in person or let a rescue know you can help by fostering or adopting this terrific tabby. Transportation is available. Pledge, share and let’s do all we can to move Tiger to safe haven. He only has tonight. We are his only hope. Don’t let him down!!!
