TOM – A1058244
Gone 11-20-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 11/20/15*** TOM has lived a long 15 year life, diabetic and overweight yet he’s been surrendered due to him having “accidents” around the house. Did they bother to make this obese cats’ litter box more accessible so he wouldn’t have to walk to far! Or even take him to the vet or even just understand that some older cats do that…. It’s a part of getting old! Would they throw out an aging family member who has incontinence? Of course not! Now,this NEUTERED, golden oldie could die for such a cowardly excuse! He’s been AVERAGE rated even though one would expect him to be scared! PLEASE, offer to FOSTER or ADOPT TOM and give him the rest of his life back!
