**SAFE 08/19/16**Gary is just over 1 year old and is wondering how life went so wrong for him. He once had an owner who treated him perfectly, giving him attention, an occasional bath and even let him sleep in their bed and stretch out on the couch when he pleased. It all came to a halt the day it was decided that he didn’t fit in the new home that they moved to. How does anyone turn in such a well-behaved boy? He even had a cat buddy who is probably missing him terribly. When will people realize how wrong it is to do this to their pet? Now Gary must hope that someone notices him out of the other cats and finds him to be their one and only. Please find a place in your home for this little tabby tonight who has so much to offer and asks for nothing in return but your love. Apply tonight to adopt or foster him before it’s too late!
