***SAFE 07/28/15***ANOTHER CHANCE FOR TERRIFIC TRUFFLES BEGINNER PANTHER NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Sad Sigh! Truffles is a fab four year old super affectionate boy who is yet another precious pet betrayed by his former owner. Truffles was dumped at the shelter for “inappropriate elimination,” urinating outside of the litterbox for several months but his former owner never bothered to take him to the vet to see if there was a medical issue. This purrfect gentleman lived with kids, another cat and was super loving, gentle and attention seeking towards everyone. This beautiful boy desperately needs us to advocate for him tonight, so he doesn’t become another sad stat when tomorrow afternoon rolls around. He should get checked out by a competent vet but will surely be a purrfect companion for anyone Can you open up your heart and home to terrific Truffles? Please reserve him online or contact a NH rescue for assistance with transportation (available if you live within a few hours of NYC). Won’t you please be this beginner panther’s rescue angel?
