BEN – A1085923
Safe - 8-24-2016 Brooklyn
**SAFE 08/24/16**Here’s the thing: Cat mamas, just like human mamas, cannot be with their babies 24/7. Mamas need food, mamas need bathroom breaks, mamas need to stretch their legs….so finding kittens without a mama does NOT automatically mean those babies have no one. Well, it does NOW, for BEN-KELLA-TESSA-JENNA because NOW, these four cuties are hanging out within the ACC, waiting to die. But before that random stranger picked them up and brought them to the ACC, this quartet of cuties probably had a mama who was VERY surprised to return to the next and find everyone she loved, GONE! Tonight, these kittens need someone else to have their back, and that someone else needs to either BE a NEW HOPE RESCUE, or needs to be an approved FOSTER for a New Hope rescue. BEN-KELLA-TESSA-JENNA can only be pulled to safety by a NEW HOPE rescue so please make sure they get that life-saving backing, by advocating everywhere for them tonight!
