FAITH – A1061887
Safe - 1-9-2016 Brooklyn
*** SAFE 01/09/16 *** FAITH LIVED AT HER OWNER’S BUSINESS LOCATION UNTIL THE OWNER DECIDED SHE COULD NO LONGER CARE FOR HER CAT! We don’t know WHY this owner could no longer care for her cat, as she did run a business, however, what we do know is that poor FAITH needs rescue NOW because if a rescue angel doesn’t arrive, FAITH will face the euth tech at noon! FAITH is used to being around people since she would encounter them in the store. However, she is not fond of other cats, but did tolerate a dog. FAITH was affectionate and relaxed with small children and was described as playful. Sadly, the only thing wrong with her is a bit of gingivitis and the fact that she is afraid. In her first behavior assessment she was soliciting attention and petting but the next time the assessor showed up she hissed and was afraid so they punished this poor girl with a New hope rating. We all know that once in a home situation FAITH will be her old self again. Faith is only a little over a year old and just out of kittenhood. She is young and will relax once rescued. HOW ABOUT TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH TONIGHT – AND GIVE FAITH A CHANCE TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING TO HER STORY!!
