BENTLEY – A1071347
Safe - 4-29-2016 Manhattan Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
*** SAFE 04/29/16 *** Liar, liar, pants on fire—BENTLEY’s former owner is obviously wearing charcoal pantaloons, since bringing this terrified KITTEN to the shelter on account of “home size.” Except that when a person reads the biography, one sees that his owners sentenced him to die because he was “shedding.” They decided, magically, that BENTLEY was responsible for all the fur in their cave, and his housemate was completely innocent, so it looks like only BENTLEY was brought to the kill factory. This perfectly nice boy is going to die a perfectly awful, unsedated death tomorrow unless a NEW HOPE rescue pulls him to safety, tonight!
