ZEBRA – A1033647

***SAFE 04/30/15*** BEGINNER-RATED BLACK AND WHITE HEADBUTTING CHARMER, DUMPED AS A NEUTERED “STRAY”, HAS TWO LOVING VOLUNTEER PLEAS – PLEASE GRANT ZEBRA A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Darling black and white boy ZEBRA, just three years old, was slung into the kill-happy ACC as a NEUTERED “STRAY”, where he quickly attracted the attention of not ONE but TWO ACC volunteers, who lovingly write: “This exotic cutie was found hanging around with the zebras at the zoo – I guess he knew he matched! Zebra bounded into the shelter full of confidence that he would find his forever home here, no matter who his family was going to be. He pushes his nose through the bars of his cage to get closer to every person that passes, and rubs his cheeks on whoever notices him. Zebra won’t turn you away, so come in and say hello. Maybe you’ll be the lucky one to take him home!” and “Zebra is a very enthusiastic male who loves to interact with anyone who will stop by to say “Hi”. He is friendly, alert and loves to head butt. Zebra is such an easy-going guy that either beginner or experienced cat parents could welcome him and make their home Zebra’s home.” Zebra HEADBUTTED his way to a perfect BEGINNER behavior rating. But the ACC will silence his purrs at noon tomorrow with a lethal injection, just because Zebra SNEEZED. Let’s save this precious zebra-colored lovebug! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt charming ZEBRA! If you can’t save ZEBRA yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!
