DENIM – 10812
Safe - 11-8-2017 Manhattan
***SAFE 11/08/17*** BEGINNER RATED DENIM JUST LOVES ATTENTION AND PETTING!! JUST WATCH HIS 2 VIDEOS! A volunteer writes: Denim came to us as a stray, so there’s no way to know how long he’s been out there on his own. One thing is for sure, he has known love in his life and he’s yearning for it again with every ounce of his being. As soon as I started to pet him, he rolled over and, as we say, “tranced out” (went into a trance out of pure happiness). When I left him, he paced back and forth meowing as if to say, I have waited so long for this, don’t leave me now. There is something so deep, sincere and simpatico about him; he is one of those cats I just can’t get out of my mind. He’s at an age (not at all old in cat years) where younger families are passing him by; it’s their loss. Don’t let the loss be yours. Come get him!
DENIM was brought to the police station. He is an older boy and has some dental issues. He is already neutered and friendly. Please consider giving him a new home. MUST RESERVE THIS WONDERFUL CAT BY NOON!!!
