JUSTIN – A1079569
Gone - 7-25-2016 Brooklyn
**GONE 07/25/16** DUMPED OFF AND REPLACED WITH NEW BABY! JUSTIN is handsome 6 year old NEUTERED creamsicle! This sweet AVERAGE RATED gentleman has found himself being shoved into a cage at the ACC after his previous “owners” replaced him with a new baby. Justin is described as being independent and relaxed in his previous home. Weighing in at just over 21 pounds, this guy would make a great snuggle bug! Wouldn’t you love to curl up on the couch and relax the night away with this handsome guy? He was easy to handle during his assessment, and appreciates attention. Justin is truly a gem! But the ACC don’t see his worth. They only see the kitty cold he’s caught at the shelter, and are quick to use this as an excuse to list him to DIE AT NOON TOMORROW! Please don’t let this sweet boy miss out on an opportunity at a furr-ever home for an easily treatable cold. Offer to FOSTER/ADOPT HIM NOW!
