HENRY – A1067329
Safe - 4-2-2016 Brooklyn
**SAFE 04/02/16** HANDSOME HENRY I AM!….A volunteer writes: Henry looks like a lion hanging out in his den, looking at you with his green eyes. Extend your hand he’ll sniff it, allowing you to rub his head. Maybe Henry is a king sitting on his throne, allowing you to rub his chin. He’ll warm up to you and roll on his side allowing you to rub his body partially, letting you know he had enough by gently kicking your hand away. He is a sweet kitty missing his castle. Give him some time and you will find out how wonderful he is. Another volunteer writes: I had to approach Henry very quietly and with whispers, because he was a very frightened boy who wouldn’t move from the back of his kennel. He didn’t come forward to eat, just watched me as I gave him fresh water and a clean litter box. His eyes never moved off my hands, as though he were waiting for me to snatch him up or some such thing. But when I started stroking his handsome tabby head, admiring the intricacy of the black stripes and markings, he closed his eyes and sighed. As I petted his head I whispered sweet nothings to handsome Henry, and I could just make out the softest of purrs coming from deep inside. This lovely boy will need a quiet home and a patient companion who is willing to let Henry decide when he is ready to come out and be part of the family. It may take some time, but I think Henry is worth the wait. A volunteer writes: I was happy to see Henry when I came in again this week, though I was also somewhat dismayed that no one had adopted him yet. He is such a special kitty. But the best thing about seeing him again today, a little over a week since I first met him, is that he is no longer a scaredy cat, sitting in the back of his kennel. He was lounging on a lovely bed, and looked up when I opened his door and reached in to pet him. He leaned into my hand, and seemed much more at ease. I think he’s really ready for a new home, though I do still think that a quiet household would be best for him. Oh, did I mention how absolutely beautiful his markings are? Well, they are. And you should go meet him yourself to find out what a lovely boy Henry is…HELP HENRY FINDING A LOVING HOME TONIGHT!! If you need assistance, email [email protected]
