TUNGSTEN – A1039201
6-25-2015 Brooklyn
***SAFE 06/25/2015*** TUNGSTEN WAS RETURNED TO THE ‘CARE CENTER’ after only 3 days! The people who had him stated ‘we would like to see him have a better home’. You see, he was brought back because he hissed and swatted at their young cat-does the staff at the ‘Care Center’ not explain about how cats work things out and how to introduce? In any case, innocent TUNGSTEN is caught in the middle, a kitten who really needs you tonight-his life hangs in the balance! TUNGSTEN gets on great with children and with time would be just fine with another cat! He’s a baby for heavens sake! But he won’t get that chance unless someone steps up for him! Please save TUNGSTEN tonight!!! He is a gentle babycat of 5 months who need you!
