***SAFE 07/09/16***CHRISTMAS IN JULY? YES – THIS CHRISTMAS IS A SENIOR CAT WHO NEEDS URGENT RESCUE BY NOON FRIDAY!! CHRISMAS is 11 yrs old and was dumped by his owner because he said he randomly bites people. Supposedly this boy was brought to the vet who could not find anything wrong. Well, obviously something IS wrong, and it may have been something in the home which caused this. The owner did mention there were dogs in the home which the cat did not like so it may be as simple as a home without dogs. Sadly, CHRISTMAS’s owner didn’t want to further help his cat so he discarded him in the ACC where now he is scared and punished with a NEW HOPE rating. CHRISTMAS must be pulled by a rescue and needs someone with patience and understanding to give him a new home. IF YOU CAN HELP THIS HANDSOME TABBY PLEASE EMAIL THE HELP DESK AT [email protected] NOW.
