TIGGER – A1040586
6-29-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 06/29/15 ***TIGGER was brought into the ACC because of ‘cost’. Did the owner know that bringing TIGGER in would cost him his life-TIGGER is 4 years old and has been loved and well cared for. He’s played with children and enjoyed being part of a family. He was friendly but scared to death when brought into ACC-who wouldn’t be, with all the noise and confusion after having lived in a home! TIGGER needs you very much. This is a cat who up until very recently was playing with people and being petted and purring happily. In a moment his world changed-and now, TIGGER needs you to help him have a life again-a family again. But TIGGER is so frightened and behaving as a frightened cat will in a small cage with noise and things he doesn’t know-he’s petrified. Please save TIGGER! He really needs you. This is the kind of cat who once he’s in a home again will remember love, and kindness. Please give this lovely sand colored guy a chance.
